World Cup Calcutta Pool Day 3 Auction Thread

[digamma]

The auction will run from when I post this (around 12:00 PM Eastern) to 4:30 PM Eastern. After that winners of teams will be declared.

Minimum bid amounts: $1.
Minimum increase: $1.

To bid, post in this thread. The time stamp will be final as to who is the first bid at a dollar amount and who is the last bid for the day. 4:30 is a good bid. 4:31 is not a good bid.

Bids should take the following format:

BID SPAIN $74
