What happens to all of us who litened to jxtuo? Are we all screwed?

Just change over the games that are messed up.

BTW, the Mexico/Argentina game on Univision was awesome. I love soccer in Spanish! (It was cool)

[Keeper]

Lionel Messi will be easily regarded as the best player in the world by 2010, and probably by a larger margin than Ronaldinho currently is.

IMO, Messi has the potential to be one of the best players to step on the pitch.

Oh crud...sorry guys. I'm not really at home right now, so I'm having troubles keeping up with DC. I'll be back tomorrow night though and I'll get things sorted out. Honestly, we'll just make the revisions, and at least the first round games aren't messed up.

Jeeze, sorry I slightly ruined what was a pretty cool game.

Ok, you're going to see quite a few mistakes and errors. This took me so long to correct...but realize that all your mistakes are completely my fault. If you could change any changes I've suggested to you prior to the round of 8, that would be awesome. Thanks a lot, and sorry about all this.

[detroitbasketball]

Me and my special bracket making program = COOL.

Does this mean mine is completely correct?

Ok, Irck is officially a tank. He picked all 4 winners from this round so far for 8 points. Remember that it's 2 points per victory in this round. Good battle going on for 3rd and Keeps is trying to catch Irck...but when Irck picks every freaking game, it's not easy.

Oh, and I passed DB. O'Doyle Rules!

[Ircknewskool]

What can I say, I'm a soccer Guru.

[detroitbasketball]

I feel like a stalled car on the freeway - everyone's passing me.

[jxtuoleafs]

Also, I think I forgot to mention this, but I'm going to announce it now...

A correct bronze medal game result will merit you 12 points, not 16.

[Ircknewskool]

psht dont you worry, you'll all be so far behind by then.

I'm so tired right now...I'm looking at, and I don't understand it in the slightest. It very well could be right. Maybe someone like Tread on Us could double-check this....?

[sep]

Woot, I didnt have to many mistakes, even though I dont know what the problem was..

[Keeper]

Spain - Brazil will decide who wins. If Spain pulls it out, I'm taking this contest.

EDIT: Not to say that I actually believe Spain has a higher chance of winning that match than Brazil. It was just the only match I was fairly sure Irck would pick Brazil, and I've liked Spain. Maybe it's just my man crush on Cesc Fabregas, I don't know.

[Sportsbuck]

That Italy-Austrailia match was b.s. Horrible officiating, the acting on that last call was oscar-worthy, though.

[darjarbinx]

No, it was the right call. I think that was an amazing finish. If that foul happened 15 seconds later, they would have been playing fifteen minute halves. Amazing PK by Totti as well.

Didn't see the Holland/Portugal game did we?

4 red cards and something like 16 yellow cards. Yes they almost got in a fight three times, but it was insane!

[Sportsbuck]

OMG Bama! I was literally more interested in that game than any U.S. game so far. I was waiting for punches!

[Keeper]

Holland v. Portugal was a disgrace.

As our the Italians, he completely blew that call. Dive to a T. Could've carded him for the dive in fact. Doesn't change that it was a stupid move by Neill, but a complete dive, and we should be in extra time right now.
