##Vote: JC

no way there's two joadas in this game

I'm still close with my best friend from kindergarten, but I rarely talk to anyone else from elementary through high school, although I am connected with some of them through Facebook or Instagram. I still talk to a few friends from college but not many

Im tempted to change my name before I go. I heard Japan requires your full name on bank and ID cards, and I literally never use my first name (or full version of my middle name), so itll be so annoying having to correct people all over again

I strongly recommend you actually do this. Having a middle name in Japan is the worst

I think usa led in possession and attempts in all their games. Just could not score enough despite ample opportunity. Dest has been absolute trash this whole tourney. His only good game was the Iran game. Is he the dest America has to offer these days?

fixed

Its not like its not a famous soccer family or anything >_>

I'm a filthy casual and I wear it

Watching the game with Japanese commentary I thought Weah's name was Ware until I saw the back of his jersey

Finally get to watch a USA game since they're not playing at 4:00 AM for once

I also never heard of this movie until this topic, which didn't really surprise me because I'm not a huge movie guy and don't really stay up to date on what's coming out, but seeing that it was a Disney movie really threw me for a loop. Even I've never been ignorant of a Disney release before iirc

It might also just be psychological, like people wanting to believe the patch actually improved things

the opposite is also true tbh

what are digital game prices like in bulgaria

like is this just a cultural issue where Vlado doesnt want to buy digital Live a Live remake because it would cost the equivalent of $400

No Vlado just hates any game made after 1990

It's very unlikely, but Japan vs Korea in the quarter-final would be absolutely incredible

Soccer out of bounds rules are weird but I'm glad they are

14/30

I made my first account in early 2002 though

In again

Japan has looked good when not benching all their good players

all according to keikaku

longest 7 minutes of my life

I wish I could have watched this Germany/Costa Rica game too

I was getting sleepy but I'm wide awake now

Beat Japan that will potentially rob us of a group stage upset?

are they supposed to just lose on purpose? >_>

Fucking Costa Rica, the absolute fucking selfishness is unbelievable

what did they do?

I think it's fitting to laugh at Japan one more time for blowing second in the group. You would've had Morocco in the last 16!

You'll be eating that laugh soon enough my friend

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks.
-The deadline to make a pick is before the official kick-off time of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully.
-The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET).
-Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post.
-I get my spreads from an online site providing lines from several sources, both in Vegas and out. Although these sources may continue to change their lines throughout the week, the ones I post in the topic are frozen and final for our purposes.
-You may use bonus points to skip any level after it is guaranteed you cannot pass it (at the end of the week's games, typically). You may only skip the level before I have posted the next week's topic. The price for skipping is in proportion to the level you are skipping. Skipping level 1 would take 1 bonus point, level 2 will take 2, level 5 will take 5. So on and so forth.

Explanation of Levels:

Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2.

Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second.

Level 3: Level 3: 2 Games with Spread. Using the spreads I provide, pick 2 games. You must get both correct to move on. Spreads work by giving (-) or getting (+) points. The team that is the favorite to win "gives" points to the underdog. If you choose the favorite to win, they must still win after "giving" those points to the underdog. If you choose the underdog, you would be correct if they win the game after "getting" those points. For example, if a game says "Giants (-2.5) vs. Cowboys," if you pick the Giants, they must actually win the game by at least three points; if you pick the Cowboys, you would win if they actually won the game or lost by two points or less.

Level 4: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you do not advance. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins.

Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance.

Level 6: Pleaser: Pick one team to win using the spread, but with the pleaser, you lose 6 points on the spread. In other words, add six points in whichever direction makes it harder to win. For example, a (-2.5) spread becomes (-8.5), a (+3.5) becomes a (-2.5) spread, etc.

Level 7: QB, RB, WR: Pick 1 player to throw a touchdown pass, 1 player to rush for a touchdown, and 1 player to catch a touchdown pass. They must all be from different teams, and must also combine for at least 4 touchdowns in their respective positions. Typically you will be picking a QB, RB, and WR, but you may pick players from other positions to fill those roles (i.e. a TE or RB to get a receiving touchdown). You must make it clear what role you are picking the players for if it is not the standard QB/RB/WR or QB/RB/TE. If the player gets a touchdown in a different way (i.e. your rusher getting a receiving touchdown), it does not count.

Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

Level 9: Rank 'Em: Pick starting quarterbacks and rank them in order of passing yards they will have this week, from most to least. You must get the entire order correct. TWO CHOICES: You may rank three quarterbacks whose team wins the game, OR any four quarterbacks. All selected quarterbacks must start their game. You must pick all players at once; you cannot make a partial pick to complete later.

Bonus Question: How many touchdown passes will Deshaun Watson throw in his return?

Okay, but why are you high-fiving those that bought 25-50 games specifically?

I just realized that the Japan game is tonight at 4:00 A.M. and not Friday night/Saturday morning, so I have work at 10. Gross

This might be the first month I've never heard of any of the games (well, except for Xenoblade)

New England Patriots

I also have some spare armors if any Violet people want a Armarouge
