First Round
Group A: 2 for 2, I had Germany and Ecuador advancing in that correct order.
Group B: 2 for 2, England and Sweden in that order another 2 for.
Group C: 2 for 2, Argentina and Netherlands, off to a Super start in the first 3 groups.
Group D: 2 for2, I had Mexico and Portugal just in the wrong order.
Group E: 1 for 2, The homer US pick failed but the Heritage Italy pick worked.
Group F: 1 for 2, Getting Brazil was tough, Japan let me down in game 1 collapse.
Group G: 1 for 2, I got France, no South Korea and had France in the #1 spot, my worst group
Group H: 1 for 2, Got Spain which was easy, and say no to my shocker Saudi squad.
Total: 12 for 16, I'd say that was pretty good, just got burnt by the Asians and US.
Second Round
It's a lot harder to predict the second round in these group stage tournies because you can't necessarily predict what the matchups are going to be. But I had the first two matchups right.
My Quarterfinalists were: Germany, England, Argentina, Netherlands, Italy, France, Brazil and Spain.
So I had Spain instead of the Ukraine, and Netherlands instead of Portugal, so 6 for 8.
Quarterfinals
The matchups I had were different again with the exception that I had Germany vs. Argentina lined up, I also had the Italians play France in this round, just two rounds early.
My Semifinalists were: Germany, Italy, Brazil and England.
Missed out on France and Portugal so 2 for 4.
Semifinals/Finals
I went 0 for the semifinals I had Germany vs. Brazil, so no dice on those picks nor the finals. 0 for 3.
Total
In total I think I did pretty well for myself. 20 for 31, that's batting over .600 on the decisions from the day the tourny started. Certainly better than my baseball picks have been of late.
