The Official sj.com World Cup '06 pool

Trust me, I thought about it as a homer (mom's parents came over from Sicily on the boat) but couldn't talk myself into it until it was too late. I do have them in the finals, though.

 

No. I think it's a gamble with the allegations.
However, I'm adopting the Arruzzi if/when the Americans get knocked out.

 

Had a random thought today. (I'm new to futbol pools, so pardon my ignorance.)

If pick a team to advance through knockout play, do we get points even if we had them coming through the wrong slot? Example, the Netherlands makes the finals, but does so as a group runner-up instead of a group winner as predicted.

 

Sorry, but no.
You get three points because you selected them to advance to the knockout stage (instead of five had you picked the correct finish in the group standings).
But you can only get points from that team again if they win the whole fuckin' thing.

 

THIS IS A TEST!!!! HOPING TO POST POINTS UPDATE TONIGHT!!!

That needs some work.
If anyone has a good idea on making this work, I'm listening.

 

What are you looking to do?

If you are trying to space things out, try using periods or the underscore.

Well done, B Bam.

 

I challenge those preliminary results. They can't be right. There are six people with worse predictions than mine.

 

Yeah ... and there's four of us doin' as shitty as you.
