After Ten Days

It has been an exciting 10 days of soccer action. There have been a few big upsets and more poor showings than expected.

The biggest of upsets came from Switzerland who beat the reigning European champions, Spain. 1-0. Also being upset was Shareski favorite Germany, losing to Serbia 1-0.

As much as the losses have been shocking there have been quite a few draws that are shocking.
France and Uruguay, England and the US and Algeria, Italy and Paraguay and New Zealand. All games you would expect to be won by the bigger name squad but anything can happen in 90 plus minutes of play.

So here are the current standings as of Sunday June 20.
Andrew Aden Jamie are in the lead with 14 correct matches, Steve and Brock are right behind with 13. There is a bunch up at 12 points with Jim, Jeff, Pete, and Dick. Dan and Kent have 11 points and rounding out the group are Ryan, Mark, Al, Lumpy, Elaina and myself.

More exciting games to come over the next three weeks. We are sure to see some more upsets and at least one blow out (although none will match the 7-0 drubbing that North Korea just got from Portugal).

Keep checking back for updates throughout the week.
J.
