What are the picks?

Or did I miss that post?

I was in a World Cup Pool last time and it was all by bracket, similar to an NCCA pool I guess. You know, had to pick the order of finish for each group and then remainder accordingly.

Finished dead last.

And I actually follow the sport.

Of course, I had Ireland going all the way.

Stupid heart! Always lead with the brain!

They are coming, Pat. Our soccer guy Sheamus is supposed to put up a preview of each team. Picks as well, I believe.

I was surprised at how good the Ecuadorians looked this afternoon. Aside from a brief stretch early in the second half, they owned the Polish squad.

apparently all but one of their wins in qualifying were at high altitude thus the low expectations (I love these crazy wc facts)

poor Poles - now they have to beat Germany or hope for a miracle
