I have 4 "summer Fridays" where I can take a half day or burn two and take a whole. I'm waiting for the knockout stage to go get hammered in the day...pub style.
Anyone playing the ESPN bracket predictor on FB? Send me a PM and we can connect, or if someone wants to organize a OC group and send invites. I can't do it right now, too much going on at work.
First game at noon, so not much time.

Poland grabs an early 1-0 lead over Greece. The Greeks are really going for broke.

Well, Poland's road just got easier in this game. Papastathopoulos just got sent off after his second yellow.

wow, what some awful calls. Red card and a missed handball gets another yellow for the Greeks.

What a freaking game. Very odd, but a nice dramatic start.

For the lack of luster this game has on paper, I'm thoroughly enjoying this game.

Russian national anthem always reminds me of the Hunt for Red October.

After early Czech dominance, Russia gets a goal.

Czechs look to be having a bit more possession, but the Russian counter-attacks are too much for the Czech defense. 2-0

Russia is looking good on the offensive counter.

Great through ball by the Czechs, 2-1, now.
The game hit a lull for a bit, but the goal definitely has energized the Czechs and made this game interesting again.
