World Cup Challenge Quarterfinals Update

Sweet Mother of Pearl! Annie B and her Funky Bunch are annihilating the competition and have built such a massive lead over everyone else that they're already planning their victory parade. They've even gone out and signed DeMarcus Cousins for good measure. Is it all over? Should we just cancel the rest of the World Cup and get back to Wimbledon? Probably.

But! According to my abacus, Jeff and Diego still have an outside shot at winning this thing. Diego needs Uruguay to defeat Russia in the finals and have Brazil defeat England in the 3rd place match. And all four of those teams must win their quarterfinals, of course. In other words, all remaining matches must break exactly right for Diego. Jeff has a little more wiggle room, but his simplest path involves an England over France final, coupled with a Brazil over Russia 3rd place match.

Be sure to catch all the quarterfinal action this Friday and Saturday. I'll post the next round of updates afterwards.
