I'm taking the underdog again.. if Russia can knock out the Dutch, they certainly are poised to embarrass Spain (sorry Jeff :D ). Mother Russia it is.

Guus has never taken one of his underdogs to the finals of a major competition (I think, JV?) - but I like his chances here. Russia for me.

did everyone get the same video feed of the Russia-Netherlands match that I did? shots of very attractive blond dutch girls, with face paint - whole crowds of orange clad people sitting in their seats... and then it shifts to the russian sections, where no man has his shirt still on and no hair style is too short on the top nor too long in the back...

anyway, this city is crawling with russians, and i don't need the hassle of trying to pick my way over their prone figures in the park on the way to work Friday morning.

so let's take Spain.

p.s. Also Thursday is Gay Pride Parade day here in Jerusalem -- and I don't really think I want to see what happens when those two celebrations collide.

espana...

hope we see something at least interesting from golden locks boy fernando this match. he was pretty nonexistant in the quarters.

and where's schubin? i thought he was russian. means he'll probably go for spain this time, despite his record of betting against all teams composed of brown peeps that speak spanish... especially if they are from mexico

I'll go with Spain.

jv said...

agreed, team j... less vodka, more sun.

those dudes looked like they'd just rolled out of a series of siberian caves to begin rummaging for their first spring snack. little orange dutch girls be warned.

Too tough to call. Russia have been a revelation. Spain got a little timid against the Italians.
Will Arshavin run rings around Puyol?
It's very possible.
But I picked Spain at the start of the tournament and I have to stick with them.
Spain.

Me Russian. don't let the EI fool you.

TK has us pegged. spain.

Sorry to miss out on all the banter. Seems we have much more input when its just a gentlewoman's bet. interesting.

Thanks to Fairfax for posting while we were away, but they forgot to include my pick for Germany

gd ?

And fortunately, just back from watching Mexico thrash Belize. 7-0...well, not the best match in the world, but at least I was rooting for Mexico this time....

Real Marin said...

Tough to pick. Should be a wide open match

Arshavin and the Russians are playing the freshest football in the tournament... pero nuestros corazones están con La Furia Roja.

España!

g.d's cool...

he's a pooler who's forgotten his login, not an anonymous turk with a political agenda.

... and no worries, EI.

your emailed Germany pick is valid, though not posted.
