I set up a private World Cup pick'em group at Yahoo for any Union fans. Click here: http://y.ahoo.it/KQCdVthZ The group number is 16993 and the password is pplpark. Good luck! Mods, sorry if this belongs elsewhere.
Last call for sign-ups and a last reminder to everyone to make your picks, with twenty-odd hours left until first kick off. Good luck everybody!
this is the best thing ive ever read. http://screamer.deadspin.com/the-hater-s-guide-to-the-2014-world-cup-1588867715
10 games down and my 11 year old is crushing all of us and threatening to run away with the title. LOL. http://us.wc.fantasysports.yahoo.com/world-cup/group/16993
There was a lot of, "You suck at predictions, Dad" in my house yesterday. (And I'm in fourth place!) Best. Father's. Day. Ever.
So who is "Mike F"? Leader after the group stages, with 31/48 picks correct. I am resolutely mid table. Time to do your round of 16 picks! http://us.wc.fantasysports.yahoo.com/world-cup
My kid is back on top kicking all of your asses (mine too!). He was 8 for 8 in the Round of 16 (picked Belgium to beat the US 2-1 LOL) and is in 2531st place in the entire competition. (By comparison, Amscray is in 239,284th place overall. I'm not much better in 106,101st place.) Anyone know how to figure out how many people total are in this thing? ("Kyle" is in 313,474th place so there must be more than that.) And, how can I parlay this into a college scholarship?
Clean sweep for the good guys. My son, Bryce, ran away with the crown and I was runner-up. http://us.wc.fantasysports.yahoo.com/world-cup/group/16993 Overall my son came in 2,438th place out of about 400,000 people. Not too bad a showing for an 11 year old at overnight camp during more than half of the tournament.
Congratulations to you and Bryce! I wish you hadn't included the bit about him being away for so much of the tournament; it was hard enough getting my rear kicked by an 11 year old!
