    Looks like you don't have to feel bad for Mexico after all.

    No kidding, I guess I just had to send some feel good thoughts out to them and they would respond. And boy did they ever.

    Any chance they can leapfrog CR into first?

    I think so, but I think they need to win, CR needs to lose, and the goal differential needs to be 4 or something like that. Also, I'm hoping for CR to get 1st and Uruguay to get 2nd. I was the idiot who had England finishing first.

    I had Uruguay 1st and Italy 2nd so one of my two teams will advance. I'm not sure if I'd rather have Italy take 2nd for the extra point or Uruguay since I had them making the round of 8.

    Tough call, I guess it depends on whether you still believe Uruguay can make it to the 8.

    Seems like ESPN scoring is messed up right now. It looks like they have Uruguay getting the 1 and CR getting the 2.

    It certainly is. In the past 30 minutes cross referencing brackets, scores changed 4/5 times.

    @grze hard to believe England/Italy would net 0, that's for sure.

    @Syracuse12 you sandbagging sumbitch! First place so far? JK Nice picks.

    It looks like it is fixed now, but I also noticed there was a moment when they showed Brazil being eliminated.

    I noticed @Syracuse12 and I have a very similar picks coming out of the group round. Only remaining difference we have is the order of France and Switzerland.

    I actually think it is almost impossible for me to beat you.
    Before this tournament started, I had not watched a soccer match since the last World Cup. Literally. Anyone can get lucky. My downfall is coming.
