I did? Where am I in the rankings?
I must have used a disposable email when signing up, can't get back in :(

Huh - I'm actually doing better than I thought I would be, in 11th place so far.

Still haven't watched a second of any of the games though. :D

I've been in a downward spiral since Saturday.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I haven't checked this since Friday, and now I'm kinda afraid to do so.  :ph34r:

Duque de Bragança

Not a bad day for most people, Maladict scoring a perfect.

Valmy predicted a Russian win over Denmark, letting le Goupil Gris escape.  :hmm:

I keep thinking Russia should be good. They usually are good at sports. Just not this one I guess because they always seem to underachieve.

Ah yes, using ice hockey knowledge à la ...

Russia/SU used to, at least in the '60s (Yashin invented modern goalkeeping) and had a decent level till the '80s with only some flashes afterwards.

I did not pick Russia. Russia sucks.

Just like Turkey, the sheer number of Russians should help them find 11 world class players. Maybe Putin and Erdogan find soccer stars too threatening to their regime and keeps having them assassinated if they get too good.

Sheer demographics are not a good tool to gauge a country's footie potential. You have, on one hand, tiny countries like Uruguay and Portugal, punching way above their weight, and on the other behemoths like Russia and Turkey that most of the time suck donkey balls. Not to speak of China or India, of course.
