All right. The quarter finals are set. Only DaveC picked Paraguay in this round and Emrah picked Uruguay in this round. Things tightening up at the top.
Just updated.
Watched Public Enemies the other day. The movie is about the true story of John Dillinger who was a high profile bank robbers in the 1930s. The movie was like a cross between The Untouchables, Goodfellas, and Heat. Well probably more by like The Untouchables. The movie is somewhat hard to follow at the start but eventually settles and is very good. It was also weird to see Marion Cotillard in an English movie since I had seen her in French movies before and didn’t seem to me like an actress that could pull it off. Well I guess she earned an Oscar (for another movie) so I guess I was wrong. Johnny Depp was excellent in it (as usual). I give it a $7 rating. First round is over. Quite a few upsets. Commercial drive is pretty quiet for some reason.
Standings Group C and D are done. England will be in tough against Germany in the next match.
Please keep an eye on your results in the Master sheet. I may have made some mistakes. The pool has been updated again. Group A and B are now completed so lot of points awarded. Emrah still in the lead. ok the pool has been updated to include the weekend results. Seems like Emrah will be hard to beat although Milan and Eric are still there. In case you feel like being at the WC in SA, we have created a WC version of www.prayforsnow.com. Check it out. Watched Angels & Demons last night. This movie is another Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) book turned into a movie. It is the story about how an underground scientist society called the Illuminati planned to destroy Vatican City right during conclave. Once again Tom Hanks is playing Robert Langdon, the Indiana Jones like super symbol specialist which can solve pretty much any puzzle thrown at him. I had read both books before seeing Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code and I have to say I preferred this movie over the other one. The Da Vinci Code felt too rushed while this one felt just right. Although it had been longer since I read the book for this one so perhaps my memory was more vague. Nevertheless, from what I recall, they followed the book pretty closely except for one part at the end which was probably the most unbelievable part in the whole book so probably good they took it out anyway. I give it a $7 rating. I see that they are planning to release “The Lost Symbols” so I best go read that book now. I cannot update the pool because my computer at work is off due to power outage. Update will have to wait until Monday.
Ronnie is probably happy although he didn’t know Denmark was playing today. |
