Man. Only 1 taker on the pool, huh? I thought we had a few football (soccer) fans on here.

I guess people are unwilling to join in because they are already keenly aware of my mad skills and uncanny ability to accurately predict which team will win the cup and don't want to be embarrassed. That's ok. I don't blame you -- not everyone has mad skillz like I do...

Well, anyway -- if you change your mind, it's really super-easy. All you do is pick which countries you think will beat other countries. Just get your guesses in before the beginning of the first match on June 11. Oh yeah, and if you do decide to give it a "go," make sure you sign using "XMTS" as the "sub-league name."

Olé, olé, olé, olé....
