Wow. Big nod to Cantona and the Continentalist for perfect scores in Round 1. Looks like the Continentalist is back to his winning ways after coming in mid-table in the last pool. Cantona is already building on his Runner-up finish from CL Pool 2008 and appears to have even called the order (1st and 2nd) that each side would finish. His predictions in the comments are eerily correct and worth a re-read. The man knows his footy. Moving forward the Quarterfinals will separate the wheat from the chaffe as each correct pick is worth 4 pts.
