Pete,
I thought I was being scientific about things as I found a web site that gave a run down on all the teams - I hadn't got a clue about some of them.
I was wrong and my predictions demonstrate that.
Hopefully, the next round might be easier as there's some historical data to base my picks on. However, I'll be around last place by then so the exercise will be futile

Its been almost 50% draws so far so I'm sticking with that strategy.

I'm outside enjoying the evening and just heard a huge cheer go up from a house way down the street. I can only assume that Germany has taken the lead?
..or not

What the hell is going on with this World Cup?
Serbia 1 Germany 0. All of us remain in the standings as we did last night. Only .77% picked Serbia. My final standings prediction is now Switzerland, Mexico and the USA.
