Thanks folks.
We all have until before kickoff time on Tuesday (that'll be 13:30 CST, 19:30 GMT) to make our picks.
As for mine, I was thinking: Klose, Müller, Schweinzi, Klinsi, Rummenigge, Voeller... wait, I'm going too far!
I am glad that the teams that played the best Association Football are the ones in the Semis.
@fbaezer,
Congratulations on the Stage Two medal and thank you for your record-keeping and mmmmmmmm analysis!
@fbaezer,
All the three Rummenigges? Oh, wait, the oldest was just playing 5th divison ...
OK, my picks:
1. Villa
2. Klose
3. Podolski
4. Robben
5. Forlán
Hmm, not many left to pick from. Makes it a bit easier.
1) Villa
2) Klose
3) Forlan
4) Robben
5) Podolski
@ossobuco,
Switching after a bit more reading -
Klose - Germany
Villa - Spain
Muller - Germany
Forlan - Uruguay
Sneijder - Netherlands
@ossobuco,
I believe Muller is banned from playing in the semi-final, osso.
@lmur,
Really? Egads. Thanks. (So much for my reading - I now see he got a second yellow card..)
Ok, in place of Muller, Podolski.
I need to change my players too
1. Klose (Germany)
2. Villa (Spain)
3. Schweinsteiger (Germany
4. Snijder (Netherlands)
5. Forlan (Uruguay)
ok, let me try some different iterations...
1) Forlan
2) Villa
3) Podolski
4) Klose
5) Schweinsteiger

Hinteler/Huntelaar
you playing in this round?
@fbaezer,
if I don't read a great reason to re-shuffle
1. Klose
2. Villa
3. Forlan
4. Podolski
5. Robben
(or completely change my mind)
Sorry for the extra work, fbaezer, but I need to replace Muller also.
Revised list:
1) Villa
2) Klose
3) Abreu
4) Forlan
5) Snijder
Since I'm aiming for the top, I'm wagering on the counter force to fbaezer's strikers
1. Forlán
2. Robben
3. Podolski
4. Klose
5. Villa
My guesses:
1) Cavani (UR)
2) Van Persie (NL)
3) Klose (GER)
4) Roben (ND)
5) Kroos (GER)
@Francis,
I may be wrong but I am showing Sjar, George, Don Camillo and Failure Arts as not having adjusted their rosters.
That's true...
My picks...
1. David Villa (ESP)
2. Miroslav Klose (GER)
3. Wesley Sneijder (NED)
4. Mesut Özil (GER)
5. Diego Forlan (URU)
@Don Camilo,
I was wondering about Ozil..
oh well, I'll go with what I've got.
I hope I'm on time
Van Persie
Villa
Forlan
Klose
Podolski
10 of us get points with Forlan's Goal. Pantalones and McGentrix each get 5.
1 to 1 at halftime.
