Is it Possible?

Yeah, USA... That was highly improbable.  But what about winning money in the pool?  There are 4 spots up for grabs (no Bonus) for the $470 pot.  Just 15 entries have been eliminated as 32 can still win something.  Despite the top two choices, USA and GER eliminated, three teams (ESP, ENG, SWE) are still alive to win the title which means 17 entries can still win the pool.

There is now a tab above for "Possibilities" and you can see what percent of the 2,048 possible outcomes you can win something.  Kds911-2 (1st, 77 pts) has the best chance to win the pool (18.5%) and money (52.5%).

Trying different ways to speed up Excel but didn't quite work out, thus, this is the debut of the Possibilities table (usually, it's after the Round of 16 when 32,768 possible outcomes are run).
