Excellent job, fb.

You talk so dirty, I love it.
Kidding of course. I'll never catch up with what you know, fb,
so, listening.

I can't believe you worked this all out, fb.
You must have created
THE SPEADSHEET FROM HELL

HA!

SHEET is right

Great game. And Italy meets France at the airport

crazy

My heart-a is broken-a.



Nah! This was the ugliest Squadra Azzurra in ages.

Van Persie finally scored.
How about a couple more while you're at it?

(or four other more goals by Eto'o)

Van Persie's subbed out, but Eto'o scores.
I may actually move up in the standings.

Oh, hi there, fb!

Current standings.
A few changes at the bottom.

1. Calamity Jane 26 (9 goals)
2. Francis 22 (9 goals)
3. fbaezer 20 (5 goals)
3. Robert Gentel 20 (5 goals)
5. McGentrix 16 (5 goals)
6. ehbeth 16 (4 goals)
7. ossobuco 15 (6 goals)
8. George 15 (5 goals)
9. Sjaradona 14 (4 goals)
10. Pantalones 13 (4 goals)
11. lmur 11 (5 goals)
12. Don Camilo 10 (5 goals)
13. Realjohnboy 10 (4 goals)
13. Walter Hinteler 10 (4 goals)

(Pantalones, Sjaradona and lmur join the mathematically eliminated from winning the first leg... George now needs only a total implosion by Ivory Coast, so that North Korean Jong-Tae-Se can performa a hat-trick... AND Ronaldo, Villa & Fabiano to be kept scoreless)

I just want to predict that Brazil will go through Spain, the Netherlands and Uruguay to meet Argentina in an epic final (Go Argentina!).

Ok, so Argentina or Germany. But that is my multi-level prediction.

To all players:

Remember to post your new picks, for the 2nd leg of the game before kickoff on Saturday. If not, the old picks will be counted (even if some of your players have already been eliminated... or been totally ineffective).

My rationale also calls for a BRA-ARG final.

But we still hang to a chance to beat the "Chés".

gotta work out the 5th striker and think about the order

at least somewhat

sticking with Brazil for now

ack

just realized I have to pay attention to Brazil v Portugal today

(will I be awake tomorrow before kickoff? - will I get home on time tonight after dancing? ack ack ack)

Robert Vittek -- Slovakia
Gonzalo Higuain -- Argentina
Asamoah Gyan -- Ghana
Diego Forlan -- Uruguay
Luis Fabiano -- Brazil

I am sticking with my guys for the next stage. They haven't been very productive so far but maybe things will change.
