Just three days to go until the group stages commence. If you want to make changes, you may change until the deadline.

I know that at least one of you is missing a game. If those games are not entered, then you will not be able to score credit for that game.

In any case, 20 entries are in, we can always use more!

Shoot, forgot to post these.

Australia 11 - 3 - 9 Japan

United States 9 - 5 - 9 Czech Republic

Italy 21 - 0 - 2 Ghana

Right now, including the Australia game, we have ZBoyer and HeartLockArt leading with 8 points out of 9 games.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to harness these prediction powers to predict lottery numbers...

Back on topic - I predict a 2-1 win for the US over Czech Republic. I know the Czechs are good...but I have a feeling...

Just posting the standings after the first 16 games.

Wow! Tank the soccer expert is in last place..... (not that I'm doing any better mind you, but I'm glad I got the Tunisia/Saudi Arabia game right :))

I saw, I came, I left.

Looking back, I severely regret picking a draw in the Sweden-Paraguay game. I wasn't thinking at all when I picked that. So far, that's the only one I regret. :P

Let's take the predictions for the first four second round games now. Remember, all games in the 2nd round are worth 2 points, and all games are final after 90 minutes. If you think the game will go to extra time or penalties, then the proper selection is "DRAW".

Germany v Sweden: GERMANY

Argentina v Mexico: ARGENTINA

England v Ecuador: ENGLAND

Portugal v Netherlands: DRAW

These will be due Saturday morning at 8:00 AM EDT.
