Well, Maladict must have been sleeping or busy, so he missed a somewhat easy prediction, though a tie was predicted by more than a couple of people.

I seem to have locked myself out of the pool. Did I not enter all the group matches?

Thankfully, le Renard Gris was one of the few who bet on a tie between Batavians and Austrians so there is still suspense at the top.
All in all, a pretty easy day yesterday (Thursday).

Harder day. The early matchups are where my lack of soccer knowledge hurts. 4 Interchangeable teams. YOLOed it.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

I think it's wise I didn't do any actual betting on this tournament. :(

Canadians having a good showing in the pool. Just need BB to pick up his game.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Hard to "pick up your game".  If you just make all the same safe picks as everyone else you won't get ahead - you have to call for some upsets.

So Scotland-England being a draw is me reaching for an upset.  We'll see what happens.

That's a ballsy one, but not one I would do.

i picked the same, so here's hoping. my last tie call let me down though.

This would ruin the fun of watching it.  :P

No!  I called draws on the other two matches today, but picked the Czechs in this one!

I'm going to go 0/3 today. :(

Woohoo!  Never been so excited for a 0-0 draw before!

I went 1/3 then today.

It was a better 0-0 than the horribly tedious Spain-Sweden, to be fair.
