Since I don’t see that anyone else has started a thread on this game yet, I will. So, who here is cheering for Brazil as much as I am. (My wife’s Brazilian, and if I want to live to tomorrow, they better win!) ---

Well, sofar I think Brazil is looking a litle more dangerous, but a quick counter could change everything. ---
