Updates Galore

What an incredible 8 matches so far.  There have been 28 goals and just two of the 16 teams have been shut out.  There also have been no ties (typically 30% of the round robin matches end in a tie).  Also, 4 teams have rallied to win (just 3 in 2010) so far.  Two former World Cup champs have been shocked as Spain and Uruguay now face an uphill battle.

But, more info on the pool have been revealed.  8 matches is a nice cutoff point so the first Pool Standings are now up.  Earlier, the Team Distribution (how many entries picked which team to win each match plus how many entries picked a team to reach what round) and Everyone's Picks were posted.  And I'm using Excely's World Cup spreadsheet to update the Results.
