Either there is going to be a long lull in the bidding, or $73 for Brazil is going to be a steal.

TIME

[digamma]

The last two Algeria bids are no good.

[Chief Rum]

Go Cote d'Ivoire!

[cartman]

Cool. I'd rather have them at $5. Steal of the draft so far.

[digamma]

Today's results:

USA $13 -- digamma
Ivory Coast $30 -- Chief Rum
Switzerland $19 -- britrock88
Honduras $7 -- cartman
Greece $11 -- Critch
Spain $65 -- Landshark44
South Korea $13 -- hahnkim
Algeria $5 -- cartman

[cartman]

Spain I think is going to be the highest risk/reward team. They are in a tough group that they might not make it out of. But if they do survive and make it to the knockout round, they should go deep.

[cartman]

QS has me worried. He has probably figured out how to get England, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Argentina and The Netherlands for a total of $7.

[Toddzilla]

Pfft, QS could get them for $5

[britrock88]

Oh, man, gotta get ready to kick back into gear with this.
