I’ll send one more email and then let you know – thanks!

I’m going to put another couple of games up today and tomorrow too.

On paper we have all 32 managers, in reality I’m still waiting for tracks from a few of them – if any of them can’t manage it I will get in touch!

Maybe genres could stand for disciplines, or certain characteristics of songs, like sub 1 min songs = the 100m, singers with high-pitched voices for the high jump, most aggressive track for the boxing, or perhaps even other, better ideas.

Which means – remarkably – that both the previous PWC winners, Nigeria and England, are up for grabs.

Group A:
Russia – Sarah C
Saudi Arabia – Champiness
Egypt – Kat
Uruguay – Lucazm

Group B:
Morocco – Matt DC
Portugal – Matthew Marcus
Spain – Chris B
Iran – Dollymix

Group C:
Peru – Garry McK
France – Sam
Australia – Weej
Denmark – Jack B

Group D:
Argentina – Aris
Iceland – Edward Still
Croatia – UNCLAIMED
Nigeria – UNCLAIMED

Group E:
Serbia – Chelovek Na Lune
Brazil – Jonathan Bogart
Switzerland – Pete
Costa Rica – UNCLAIMED

Group F:
Sweden – Solitaryp
Germany – Joris
Mexico – Dorsalstop
South Korea – Katherine

Group G:
Tunisia – UNCLAIMED
England – Carsmile Steve
Panama – Scott M
Belgium – Hazel

Group H:
Japan – Jeff W
Poland – Lockedintheattic
Senegal – Cryptopian
Colombia – Job

So that’s Croatia, Nigeria, Costa Rica and Tunisia currently without managers.
