Just coming up to the halfway point, and think my group is already decided. Aguazul and Kiryu-shi going undefeated while top seeded me is struggling to keep third place just isn't what I expected.

The user behind Star is probably pretty happy to be second right now. On the other hand, Starblaydia the nation is probably confused as to why they aren't first.

Yeah, I've been pretty much absolutely shocked checking the scores thread for the past few days.

And I'd maintain that the probability of me getting fewer than four wins from here on out is much, much greater than the probability that I'd come anywhere near matching this first half.

Armed Bears winning an 'away' victory over you (and doing so after losing all but one of their previous games, at that) wasn't what I expected...


(I'm not complaining about it, though... ^_^)

Fifth is about right for me, but I'm worried about my 3-0 loss to Bostopia having happened at home this time. In WCQ60, we tied them 0-0 at home and had our 3-0 loss at Bostopia. Really, at this point all that's left is pride for defending fifth place from Arcadian Islands, if I can do it.

Awesome! Not that my needs trump anyone else's, but I'm looking forward to seeing the scores before I go to bed.

For me, the scores are gonna come up at like 3 am-5 am. I guess that'll be OK - I'm going back to school on Wednesday, and I wake up at five to six in the morning on school days. Also, does anybody know the team who I replaced in qualifying?
