Bye-Bye Me

Poor Chile.  The only R16 team to not score thus far.  

Well, 52 of 67 entries picked both NED and BRA today.  For some reason, my main entry (Futbol Fabone Four (51st-Tied, 66 pts) was not one of them.  As such, I am eliminated.  I still have slim hopes for my last entry, Zulupalooza (49th-T) which is only a point ahead of my eliminated pick.  60 picked NED and 58 picked BRA.  I Hate Vodka Alot (64th-T, 56) was the only who picked Slovakia and El Ruso (25th-T, 73) the only one to pick Chile.  Almost.

As usual, Coin Tossed (33) was the only one to go 0-2 today but she is not the only one to get only 1 of 6 Quarterfinalists correct... I Hate Vodka Alot and Da Fermo (66th, 55) also have picked just one thus far.  If Holland wins it all (I'll be rooting for them since that is what I picked for Zulupalooza), I am waiting for Warner L (Da Fermo) to complain about how he picked the correct champion and was left out of the money.  He finished 7th last time despite picking Italy to win it all.  If all you had to do was pick the correct champ, then why should I let you guys pick the other 62 matches??

LB and Serrano, tied for 45th (69), both still have a chance to win firstReckin Crew now holds the distinction for still having a chance while being placed the lowest:  51st-T (66).  Lionelmessi can't win first despite being in 3rd (82).  How frustrating must that me (probably not as much as being eliminated).  Neither can Corner Kick Kid (4th-T, 81) and Dime 23 (6th, 80).  I'm surprised there are still more than half the entries (39 of 67) are still alive for money and 16 still have a chance for 1st.

Forza Pazza (90) still has his six-point lead and has a 32.8% to win 1st and 59.8% to win money.  He is one of two (El Chileno (4th-T)) to pick 5 of the 6 quarterfinalists.  The top 11 entries have picked either Spain or Brazil.
