p.s. Thanks Big Buckin Agate Monkey for putting this all together.

 

TrooperBari has Argentina winning it all, and the Netherlands not coming out of that group. I have the Netherlands winning it all and Argentina not coming out of that group. Interesting.

 

Bumping this up for those resurrected the old thread.

 

Loathe as I am to put much faith in Abbondanzieri's goalkeeping, I have even less faith in RVN and Edwin van der Robot's ability to carry a bunch of kids in the World Cup. Van Basten has already admitted he's building for Euro 2008 - no sense contradicting the manager.

 

BAR CLOSES IN ABOUT 12 HOURS!!!!

 

I hope you have all of the picks recorded and locked away in a safe location!

 

These are sure to be award-winning.
