Pool Standings: Round 1

Team EC and Team Jerusalem deserve a nod as they run neck-and-neck for the Runners-Up position, but without question the blaring front page headline of Round 1 is The Terrible Twos perfect 8-0 record. To give this outlandish feat the proper perspective let me give you some numbers. World Soccer Daily asked their listeners to email their picks for the CL Final 8. Out of 2867 responses only 1 got all 8 right. That's .035% of a community of live-and-breathe die-hard soccer geeks. Just take a minute to soak in history, folks, because in all likelihood we'll never see this Round 1 record broken. BigMaggie To-Do List: 1) buy SuperLotto ticket, 2) book room at Bellagio, 3) play ponies at Santa Anita. i Tu estas muy caliente, mamacita! As for the rest of us, well... we can take some solace in the fact that Round 2 picks are worth 4 points each.

Incredible. I'll be forwarding my IRA for a portfolio review to Terrible Two. I was watching football fone-in and heard Steven recite that stat - maybe the two should start calling in there. We'll see if it holds.

Indeed. How did the Twos pull that off? Looks like the old guard of the pool might be in for an upset this year...
