In the aftermath of Luis Suárez hand-ball in the Ghana game some pretty ridiculous things have been said. The worst, in my opinion --expressed by his coach--, is that what he did wasn't cheating. That by doing something in the rule book and being duly punished amounts to playing within the rules. Suarez and Diego Forlan have come out and said that he made the best save of the tournament.

For a while I was asking myself if England were the only idiotic team in this World Cup. But no, misery loves company, and France and Italy have truly outclassed England in every way. No team have owned the first round. But some of you poolsters surely have. Who can help but be impressed with our leading triumverate of jackson.bodtker, gilbert, and John Burgess? And then you poolsters who still have all 5 teams in contention: drigo and Masterpick. Failure to mention perennial pool underachievers marcus and giuliana22 would be remiss as well.
Let's take a closer look at the neighborhood which has spawned this pool frenzy:

It's called a daily blog. So that means I blog each day. Today, like any other day, therefore demands attention. Saturday June 19th, consider yourself remarked upon.

So who'd have thought that the mighty Spain would fall at the first hurdle to little Switzerland? Arwen, Beatriz and miguelb, that's who. Oh, and Masterpick, in this mindbogglingly psychic (his words) comment. Masterpick, now known as Aaasaaaamasterpick, tried to muscle his way to the top of the leaderboard, but I'm declaring Arwen the winner for the end of the 1st round of the group phase!!! Because it's my pool. And she's my daughter. Here's your first winner:

Masterpick moves to the top of the table grace of alphabetism. Jack Russell, who always picks the eventual winner of the tournament, moves into a joint tie with vox sambou and brainsoverbrawn. Big shout out to blow hard! She puts her husband (soon-to-be-ex) to shame!
Now for some pics I took today:

No Major Movement on the Leader Board today, though el_keks has now moved up to third with her German/Dutch juggernaut. If those two do well she'll run away with the Pool. nanabanana, britt and Masterpick still have shots at finishing Part 1/Round 1 with 14 pioints. Otherwise it's Ripe GreenIdeas to take first bragging rights.
