This World Cup and this betting pool will likely come down to the fantastic quarterfinal matchup of Brazil vs. Netherlands. If Netherlands wins, David and I are looking pretty good. If Brazil wins, Carla and Giovanni have the upper hand. I was impressed with Brazil today - not so much because of their offense, which we all knew was potent, but because their defense seemed impenetrable. Even when Chile had the ball deep in Brazil territory, I sensed no danger. In the group games I thought Chile had an impressive offense, but they didn't really get close to scoring, despite having a fair amount of possession. I picked Netherlands over Brazil, and (sorry, Carla) I hope the Dutch win. I love Kuyt and Sneijder and Robben (who I think is one of the top 5 strikers in the world, better than Van Persie, much better than Rooney...), but after today I have serious doubts. We've seen at least 3 goals is each round of 16 game so far - this is going to be a great knockout round!
Standings through today:
John: 48
Giovanni, Carla: 45
Corinne, David: 43
Joseph: 42
Kit: 40
Tom, Chris: 39
Jeremy: 38
Hallie: 37
Cara, Taylor, Ali: 36
Dean: 35
