pilfered from my brothers $10 money pool ... sorry if the formatting is wonky ... much easier when its a fill out in hard copy, scan and email pool lol ... ive attached the QF bracket image to visually assist with the knockout phase picks ... note: ill try to update standings in a timely fashion but Ill likely be away the last week of June



Predict the result of each match by either bolding the team you think will win or the ‘v’ if you think it will be a draw. 2 points for each correct result (Number to the left denotes tournament match number out of 24).

Group A
01 POL v GRE
02 RUS v CZE
09 GRE v CZE
10 POL v RUS
17 CZE v POL
18 GRE v RUS

Group B
03 NED v DEN
04 GER v POR
11 DEN v POR
12 NED v GER
19 POR v NED
20 DEN v GER

Group C
05 ESP v ITA
06 IRL v CRO
13 ITA v CRO
14 ESP v IRL
21 CRO v ESP
22 ITA v IRL

Group D
07 FRA v ENG
08 UKR v SWE
15 UKR v FRA
16 SWE v ENG
23 ENG v UKR
24 SWE v FRA


Place a bolded number next to where you think the team will finish in the group ( i.e. 1 Poland, 3 Greece, 2 Russia, 4 Czech Rep ). 5 points for each correct final position.

Group A
Poland (POL)
Greece (GRE)
Russia (RUS)
Czech Rep (CZE)

Group B
Netherlands (NED)
Denmark (DEN)
Germany (GER)
Portugal (POR)

Group C
Spain (ESP)
Italy (ITA)
Ireland (IRL)
Croatia (CRO)

Group D
Ukraine (UKR)
Sweden (SWE)
France (FRA)
England (ENG)


The Knockout Phase: Place each team where you think they will finish. If you think Denmark will top group B, then put them in B1. If they finish second, then you will still receive 10 points for correctly predicting them in your quarterfinals. You can only place a maximum of two teams per group in the Quarterfinals (i.e. you CANNOT put NED, DEN, GER & POR all in the quarterfinals… BUT, you could have DEN finishing 1st above but not in your quarterfinal bracket as a way of guaranteeing some points). ALSO, you CANNOT place a team in the semifinals or finals that you have not placed in the preceding round (i.e. you can’t have DEN in the final but not in the semis, or in the semis but not the quarters, etc.).

Quarterfinalists: 10 points each; Semifinalists: 20 points each; Finalists: 35 points each; Champion: 50 points.

yup looks ok mattola

and guys ... just remember "BUT, you could have DEN finishing 1st above but not in your quarterfinal bracket as a way of guaranteeing some points"

not saying this is the way to go ... my bro and his buddy have had this pool since World Cup 2002 and I cant recall a top 3 finisher using this strategy successfully

I gotta find my Deutschland world cup jersey from '06. Pretty sure it has stains all over it from my minor stint of playing pick up soccer.

I fear they will get slaughtered in that pool.
(I still feel guilty about them getting fucked by my fellow Frenchman Thierry Henri)

Most likely, although I'm hoping teams take them lightly and they somehow escape that group. I'm not delusional enough to think they'll win the whole thing.
