LONDON, August 14 /PRNewswire/ --     Footbo, the social network for football fans worldwide, today launched
its prediction game for more than 50 international leagues. Following
overwhelmingly positive feedback during the recent EURO 2008, this new
feature enables users to submit their predictions on all major leagues and
tournaments on Footbo. "Building on the strength of our community, we are
providing the platform for Footbo users to submit predictions for the games
that matter most to them, wherever in the world the match is played," said
the Co-Founder of Footbo, Mani Honigstein.

The company which launched its Beta version in June this year, provides
an elaborate set of football-specific features and applications combined with
a social network platform. Predictions, one of the main features, allows
users to predict the final result of a match, select the number of goals
which each side will score, and tally up their scores in a prediction league. 
The feature consists mainly of three components:

Various Prediction Leagues

The prediction feature allows users to submit predictions for all major
leagues and tournaments world-wide, such as the English Premier League, La
Primera Division, Bundesliga, Seria A, Ligue 1, Argentinian Apertura/Clausura
