Huge games tomorrow. Anyone want to pick any upsets?
I think Portugal might be in trouble.

They were really, really lucky in the first game.

Re: Segunda B - The death of the triplete dream for the Other Teams... thread.
For some reason, the Algeria-Egypt playoff has most of my attention. Could be a better tussle off the pitch but I'll be hoping Algeria win out on it.
Bosnia-Portugal ... Hoping for Bosnia, but I think Portugal will get an early away goal and that will be enough.
Ukraine-Greece ... couldn't care less but I'll take Ukraine at home.
Slovenia-Russia ... the tournament would be better if Russia went through, but I'm hoping my Köln boys Brecko and Novakovic will be on the big stage next summer.
France-Ireland ... Heads will roll if France don't complete the job. A bit tough on Ireland who have done well in this campaign.
Uruguay-Costa Rica ... Los Ticos blew their chance in front of their home support. Can't see the Los Charrúas doing the same.

That Algeria-Egypt tilt is a spicy one, isn't it? I heard on the Guardian podcast that the Algerians who claimed that their bus was attacked prior to the match this weekend were making it up.

^^^ I got 65/72.
(it was hard remembering that some countries no longer exist or have changed names over history)

Re: Segunda B - The death of the triplete dream for the Other Teams... thread.
Tsk tsk tsk, and this from a well traveled man.
So... in the Egypt/Algeria match, it's halftime and Algeria are up one from a badass goal: from center midfield about 35m out, it's lobbed over to the right side of the box where Anthar Yahia smashes it first time and hits the underside of the crossbar on the near side and in.
Second half should be crazy!

Check out this picture today on Marca.com: 
No real explanation for it, it just says it was after a press conference in Rome.

It appears that Greece scored to go up 0-1 and Egypt tied up the game in the second half.
EDIT: Did Egypt tie it up? I'm confused by the ESPN Soccernet website.
