    World Cup 2022 Big Soccer Columbus Bracket Challenge

    Don't tell me "Qatar Quest" doesn't sound like a point a click PC game from the 1990's

    Anyways fill out your brackets

    Then join our league here!

    I can't wait for the Final between Costa Rica and Australia - it's going to be Epic

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for starting the league, Commish.

    (Well, so much for creative team names…)

    I'm sure it was to avoid controversial names like

    Pulisic Thrust
    No Means No Zack
    Club Foot Montreal

    Good luck taking on Markus.

    Originally, we had created a joint bracket. Then, Geeg wanted a pay-in league for a bracket. So I gave Markus the entry to the Big Soccer league, and I made a different one for the money league.

    So of course, Markus’ bracket will most likely score more points.

    I trace my peak of USMNT-fandom to 2002. What a year. Ever since then? Long dive. I remember Qatar being drawn and my feelings then, Jurgenism, failing to qualify, etc., etc. Long road. Life happens, right?

    This time around, I tried to watch qualifying when I remembered to. Now? I am trying to catch World Cup Fever. For instance, Jimmy 'Trash Can' Conrad's podcast has brought me to near tears and laughs along the way as history as been recounted and the praises for this current team have been endorsed.

    My kids (Markus especially) help me to remember the joy with watching one's national team. I am trying. And I am a total Yank-fangirl at heart.

    The first fifteen minutes of this World Cup have been a little nutty.

    One of the most bizarre things ever to happen in a WC (much less a Final), and what a whimper of a way to end one’s career.

    Hilarious graphics! Kudos!

    Argentina struggling is likely to hurt just about everyone pretty equally though. My Money is still on Marcus beating all of us anyway.

    With the opening round of the World Cup coming to a close today - I give you my Group Stage Summary:

    upload_2022-12-2_9-34-19.png


    Rejoice - be glad! Unlike anyone else from CONCACAF - you get a second chance (side note group D could not possibly have hurt as bad as a pelvic contusion....)

    Second Chance Brackets go LIVE at 5 PM Today

    This portion of the World Cup was brought to you by the Cristiano Ronaldo Hair Clinic (Real Thing)

    Current Standings (With two groups left to finish up today)

    My Money is definitely on ToddK811!

    Not even sure why we bother. Everyone knows North Korea is going to win it again this year anyway.

    Group E and Group F really hurt Markus’ bracket.

    Yeah, WTF? I made my picks, saved, went back in and made a change and re-saved. Has to be a glitch that the program didn’t take my entries.

    I’m filing an official protest with FIFA. In touch with the US Department of Justice as we speak.
