Looking on other places of the internet I'm reading A LOT of nigerians and croatians quite confident of beating Argentina

No, we will get through, i'm not so negative. We usually prepare well for world cups, even when we have bad qualifiers. I just don't want to jinx giving results here

My predictions for Round 16 progress: A - 1st Uruguay, 2nd Russia B - 1st Spain, 2nd Portugal C - 1st France, 2nd Denmark D - I have a prediction but I won't share it here E - 1st Brazil, 2nd Serbia F - 1st Germany, 2nd Mexico G - 1st Belgium, 2nd England H - 1st Colombia, 2nd Senegal

oops, just missed Mexico I'm happy Nigeria came out last, they are capable of getting points from Croatia, especially in a first match.

I predict we will get Mexico, Nigeria (or Serbia maybe) and a nordic country.

I think the opposite, for me group D looks the easiest... cuba, finland and puerto rico are very weak compared to what they were 6/7 years ago, Poland and Bulgaria in a very low moment... Iran could sweep that if they recover some team spirit... As for the second round... if the format is like someone said above, then I think you won't face France or Brazil if you get 1st or 2nd place in the pool (I think you'll be crossing with 3rd and 4th from group B).

What a nasty group. All tricky teams in it.

Actually it's 12 games, one less than 2014.

This system is so bad i don't know where to begin... The main flaw however is that it makes tomorrow's draw absolutely decisive for any team with pretentions to make the third round.

Are hoy seriously comparing Kirchner to war criminals? You are outta your mind

Keep that MMA thing away from the olympics please. I wouldn't add anything. I'd actually drop skateboard and surf to give more quota to karate and climbing tbh.

We should have both honestly. At least I would rather have both olympic tournaments than world championship (If I had to pick).

Aside from that, why it says only men's ice hockey for the Winter olympics?

May 4-20

Draw for the Women's World Cup was done: Pool A - Pool B - Pool C - Pool D - Pool winners advance to QF while 2nd and 3rd placed teams will have to play a "round of 16" match (similar to water polo WCh format).

I don't think their taste is that exotic They will give points to at least 2 of them.

From now on if Colombia gets any points Ireland is out of the race.

Got my 12 points I'm a big fan of instrumental only for a change (and rules don't forbid).

If had to guess their taste I think Brazil will vote Ireland and Colombia surely (I think more points to Ireland than Colombia). USA maybe they vote, but maybe not.

dcro we know you voted Colombia, just post it already

woooooow Indonesia 12 I never would have expected

20 points clear from Canada with 3 juries to go. We have to keep that top 5 at all costs

In fact we had two ties, and both went in favor of one extra point for Colombia and USA.

I didn't vote for USA though, I think Matt gave it a 11.

We basically shot ourselves in the foot with these votes, but anyway Congratulations Ireland for having the only song we all three liked.
