That's a bit blurry. For those that can't read it, it's from the New York Times showing how hard the draw is. Left is an easy draw, right is a hard draw. The black line is the actual draw. According to this the socceroos could barely have received a tougher draw.

the Socceroos are the lowest ranked team in the comp, so I guess that makes sense.

Although the rankings are a good part bullshit. It depends on who you choose to play. It rewards good results against mediocre opposition rather than maybe narrow losses against better opposition

Bimp for R16 picks.

There were 136 goals in the group stage.

Potential prizewinners at this stage:

1) 3oneday 28pts
2) Marto 27pts

Wooden spoon at this point: shazza_rs 20pts

Still 16 points to play for...

LeftyHoges
27th June 2014, 11:41 AM
At this stage with only 16 points to play for I'd say it comes down to anyone who's 3 or less back can still win (which narrows it down to about 5 guys). 3oneday has been pretty consistent over the 3 rounds so clearly knows his stuff. Gonna take a good effort or a ballsy tip to snatch it from him, methinks. The guys on 24 are still a show, but would have to go damn near perfect home to win it.

I'm really regretting missing putting my tips in for the first 3 matches of Rd 2!

4 players got all 8 R16 games correct: 3oneday, Marto, Lefty, Lucasto - Nice work!

Potential prizewinners at this stage are the same:

1) 3oneday 36pts
2) Marto 35pts

Bimp for 1/2 final picks.

5 players got all the 1/4 final results correct: Marto, Xray, Lucasto, Buzz, 3oneday

Same top 2 as before:

1) 3oneday 40pts
2) Marto 39pts

With the next 2 players on 37 points, and only 4 points to play for, the prize winners are close to being nailed on, but would only take a 1pt swing for Marto to take the crown as he has been closer at predicting the margin games.

No pressure...

These two games are a lottery. An old Netherlands against a well balanced Argentina side missing di maria.

No idea really :)

I think you'll find that with a difference of 2 between Marto in 2nd and Lucasto and I in third we can still steal the 2nd place prize. Would take a freak occurrence and some dodgy tipping but it can happen.
