LOL pelinho did you copy my bracket? I am pretty sure we have identical selections from the 1st Round to the Final and the # of goals.

That's why he said it was "for sure a winner."

Honestly, that is absolutely wild! I filled out my paper bracket on Tuesday after the selection show. May the best man win!

Sure, why not. Actually, each round might be a bit much, so we can say three: post-Round of 32, Elite 8, and Final.

Given that the two groups of selections and the tiebreakers would still yield a tied result, I'm introducing Tie-Breaker 4 (particularly for Pelinho and myself): Tournament top scorer

I'm going West.

Obviously, I am not going out on much of a limb for my final four, but I like watching possession soccer and I would like to see a first time champion, hence my final picks.  I haven't seen Calvin play this year, but I like what I saw of them in the past couple years.
