You have done quite well. I will have to take a look at my picks and see how I am doing...

It looks like this for me...
11 correct
6 incorrect (three were either ties I called wins, or games I called ties that had a winner).

I am doing better than I thought.

64.7% of my picks are right so far. Half of then ones I got wrong, were only half wrong (hows that for justification) which really gives me a 73.5% correct.

However, all that said I still heve not picked an exact score. :pissed:

What a frantic ending to the Germany-Poland game. Germany kept on putting on the pressure, especially after Poland lost a man, and they kept on being denied by some acrobatic saves and the woodwork. (Two shots hit the crossbar within a couple of seconds!) The crowd excitement level kept on growing all the time until finally they got a very late goal and the crowd simply exploded.

After the match, the cameras showed a few Germans consoling the distraught Polish team.
