This are the standings after Groups A,B,C,D & F have finished play. Things are getting really tight. Five guys still have a shot to win with some big games coming up.
Also, Dan and Fodor have made some proposals in the comments. In the previous entry. Please everyone let me know your thoughts. Here's what i'm gathering so far.

I understand the want to redraft, especially if you have only one team left like Tim (Japan wins and moves on for Dan).
ReplyDeleteIf we do redraft we need to figure out a few things.
1 Order? How do we determine it, cause like i said, who ever picks 8 is screwed
2 When? When are we going to make these picks, Group G and H finish play tomorrow and elimination round starts Saturday. That'd be a tight turnaround.
Lastly, it's also tough decideing on rules into the draft cuase people's opinion can be based on how they are doing.
Let me know your thoughts
I honestly don't mind not redrafting - of course, I already have Uruguay in with Spain and Denmark looking like strong possibilities. The complications outweigh the benefits.
ReplyDeleteWhat I STRONGLY object to is the 'winner take all' which basically means none of the bracket games will matter except for the final. We all know it's a 95% chance that either Brazil, Spain, or Argentina wins this thing. Why not do something to make all the games count in the elimination rounds??
1/2/3/4 pts seems like common sense to me.
Points are a problem for someone with only one team that made it through like Tim and potentially Dan, assuming Japan blows the 1-0 lead. Their only hope to win is for thier team to win and that someone with 2,3 or possibly 4 teams doesn't outscore them. Just get behind your team.
ReplyDeleteYes we knew that there were levels of teams
Favorites: Spain & Brazil
Good Chance of Winning it all: Argentina & Netherlands
and Contenders: England, Germany, Italy, France and Portugal. Yes France and Italy completely blew up, but going in, they were all thought of as having a chance to win it all.
Everybody, outside of Derek, still has a conteder left meaning everyone has a shot to win. If we go points, Tim or anybody else who only gets one through has almost an even worse shot of winning the money.
I just hope Spain doesn't come out and crap all over me tomorrow. Rooting for Uruguay all the way is not how I imagined this pool ending.
