So, for the matchups:

France - Germany
Very few has anything but a German advancement into the semi-finals, and this could be the biggest bout of the qrtr finals due to the impact. 9 people have France making it into the next round.

Brazil - Colombia
The Brazil v Colombia game impacts the people picking Brazil to win, except for DerekB, who has Colombia advancing, and would boost him on the leader board.

Argentina - Belgium
Everybody has Argentina, and nobody Belgium, so that game impacts mostly people that has Argentina winning it all.

Netherlands - Costa Rica
QuizGuy66 is the only one with Netherlands in the semi finals, and ABCar has Costa Rica(!)
 
good gravy did I make a mess of my picks.

Had Chile and France in the semis. didn't have Germany making it out of group play.

These scenarios are without a correct Golden Boot pick. Right now nobody has it correct, but that could change (primarily by Messi and Mueller).

Current standings:

James Rodriguez: 6 Goals, 2 Assists (nobody can beat him on minutes, so need to pass his stats)

Thomas Müller: 4 Goals, 2 Assists (472 minutes)

Lionel Messi: 4 Goals, 1 Assist (453 minutes)

I don't think it's realistic to expect anyone else to be in the race.

I'll be happy as long as my friend CM SS stays in last place, and Gator Jr. beats Gator.

That should be all reasonable scenarios I believe...

ETA: The only other "possible" Golden Boot winner is Aguero, who will need to score 6 goals, with 2 assists in 2 games to get in the mix.

If I repeat this pool gets renamed after me , right?
:thumbup: AND you get to run it next year...
Awesome, we're doing one for the Women's World Cup? IN!
Actually considering doing something for the next qualifying cycle, all nations...
That might be drinking out of a fire hose :)

I think though in 2016 if you do a combined Euro / Copa America pool, that would be fabulous.

 
The Rules:


For the final game, 5 points for each correct team will be awarded, with an additional 10 points for the correct winner of the World Cup.
JtC found an error in my standings sheet... Currently the sheet gives 5 points for each team making the finals, or the 3rd place game, but it only awards points for the final game in the calculations (which it should).

This means that some will be getting points (incorrectly) for Argentina, even if they lose their game today. I will be fixing the sheet and post updated scenarios in a bit.

Sorry for the confusion.
