    Ha! That's too funny, I'd been curious myself how others had picked so I guess it ended up being for my own information.

    I don't see a very realistic way of the US advancing without three points today. Perhaps they beat Portugal but without three points today I'm down on their chances.

    Or if Germany abuses Portugal a man down and they quit which isn't likely.

    First red card of the tourney was actually Wilson Palacios of Honduras yesterday v. France, but don't think anyone had him...

    @Mbo108 same for me - work in KoP, live in ChesCo...

    Since I won this first mini-BIF, I thought I would pay it forward and run my own.

    Choose the winner or if it will be a draw in the 2nd 'round' of group play matches. I will send a Texas box to the winner. Picks must be in before the Brazil game at 3pm EST tomorrow.

    Brazil vs. Mexico
    Australia vs Netherlands
    Spain vs Chile
    Cameroon vs Croatia
    Colombia vs Ivory Coast
    Uruguay vs England
    Japan vs Greece
    Italy vs Costa Rica
    Switzerland vs France
    Honduras vs Ecuador
    Argentina vs Iran
    Germany vs Ghana
    Nigeria vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Belgium vs Russia
    Korea vs Algeria
    USA vs Portugal

    Tie-break: total goals scored during this period?

    Should we have a separate thread for this?
