Not the best game, but the best team won

July 12th, 2010

The Dutch had their chances, but Spain earned this. And would anyone mind if we please not see Howard Webb on an international pitch ever again?!?!

Larry first, Steven second, Vedad third. Well done, fellas. And thanks to all for participating.

‘Til 2014…

Check my math, but Larry Wins!

Well played, my friend. $300 will be sent shortly. Oh yeah, new rule…it must be spent on something illicit. Sorry.

It’s down to four (people who have a chance to win the pool)

July 6th, 2010

Please check my math, but I think it’s down to Larry (Holland), Hugh (Germany), Steven (Spain), or Ms. Barry Wishon (Uruguay).

All, trying to update spreadsheet via iPad is brutally painful. Will do it when I get home Monday night

Composure. Where was it, Brazil?

Messi and Villa on the same team?

With Xavi and Iniesta feeding them the ball? Frightening.

I’d like to be transferred to the Barcelona office, please.

I trust Mike Flood

Fortunately, the missed call was not a factor

England was disgraceful in the second half

2 – 2

June 27th, 2010

Best first half of the tournament. A disgrace that FIFA hasn’t introduced goal-line technology. Sepp Blatter needs to go.

Defense

I hope we keep Bradley, but we clearly have a lot of work to do in the back. Still should be a great tournament. England – Germany tomorrow? Classic.
