When do we need to pick for round 2 bud ?

8.00pm on Tuesday please

Round 2 looks quite tricky...after not a single draw so far, there might be quite a few in the next group of games.

I hope I'm not using them too early - Netherlands please.

I think you're right

Weigh in with one of the big guns or go with a lesser light that isn't likely to feature later on...

I'm going to have a stab on Japan

Netherlands for me too please

Bosnia for me

With some of the selected teams not playing until tomorrow at 5pm (Belgium and Algeria) and Russia (11pm) not playing their first game 'till after Brazils 2nd game !, it may be prudent to post your 2nd round picks in advance in case you don't get chance before the 8.00pm deadline

Just post them as for eg Iran to win ( pending Belgium winning)

(Will PM all those who haven't got their teams playing until tomorrow as well)

Cheers

If Belgium get through then can I have South Korea for the next round please?

If Belgium get through then I will have england next round please.
