Somber Maradona

No jumping?  No screaming?  Maradona just looked sullen.  I thought GER was 4 years away from doing something great but they're ready now.  A clash of the titans and it's 4-0?  Crazy cup.

GER's win was picked by just 16 and 20 lost ARG as their champ.  That means the top 2 of the top 3 teams (BRA and ARG) picked to be champion are gone.  Will Spain be next?  This was a key game for a lot of entries as 5 were eliminated (leaving 18) but more importantly six were eliminated to win 1st, leaving just FOUR.  And it now guarantees Forza Pazza, who has now built an 8-point lead, will be in the money (unless there is a tiebreaker for 4th) and a 10 in 16 chance to win 1st.  Number 10 has a 6 in 16 chance for 1st, LB has a 25% chance for first, and Stewart W has a 12.5% chance for first.
