OK the group stage is over, and now there are 16 left
28th= (last place) these 5 knocked out after 2 games: CAM (total 0 points), AUS (0), ENG (1), SPA (3), BOS (3)

everyone up there ^^^ we're all losers, though i feel sorry for the ones that got 4 points, as several of the qualifiers only got 4 themselves.
ah well, that's sport. feel free to post up what you're offering as a prize, losers.

shown above are the odds at the start and middle of the group stages then finally the latest odds (all for winning the tournament, nothing to do with the next match)
i know England are out but still it's the best World Cup i can remember watching so far, and NL are still my tip for the crown. any further thoughts from anyone?
if anyone wants to run a separate book, or introduce any new fun rules, please go ahead. a worldcup-virtual-pingolf perhaps? There will be goals, penalties, red and yellow cards, hopefully also some more controversies, so cmon fellas what have you?
