Darn this round has lasted for more than a month. Thankfully the following two rounds will last for only a week or so.

2 Weeks should be.
Jesé has ACL injury, out for 7 months or so, what a shame, he was having a really good season

Prediction update follows ^^
After a tight and exciting first round, we'd Vindicator leading with +1 against the rest of the field who were all on 50%. Will our heroes be able to catch up to the evil that is Vindicator? Anything could happen for the next round. 
We start off with Storm-Giant, so far he's made great predictions, but previous round he was really let down by the success of those Spanish teams, and he's Spanish too, you know! Ok, maybe this time it'll be different? First round score: 4/8
Second round score: ... 4/8 again! Giving him a total of 16/8 and way beyond random guessing, or even reasonable seeing as that gives 200%. 
Sadly for him, his Spanish "luck" stayed the same and he scored a total 0/4 for A. Madrid and Barcelona. But maybe 8 points will be enough? Let's wait and see....
...for maybe OhforfShake shall overtake from behind?? Alas, sadly for him, he went wrong at the Mailand curve and only managed 3 points this round, hence forth he couldn't overtake the Storm-Giant.
The evil leader of previous round Vindicator will surely make an example of the puny Storm-Giant, am I right? So for this round Vindicator actually did manage to score an impressive.. wait for it.. ZERO points (he forgot to submit ), and does this mean SG will fool us all and take the trophy!?
Wait a moment.. what is that smell? Is that the smell of the German powerhouse running on full diesel?!? Yes, it is, and SG may really feel the pressure now! They were even for the first round, now they are to decide the title between them, it is Angelito vs. Storm-Giant, who shall be victorious..!? And the winner is.. DRAW. That's right, this time around Angelito was betrayed by the German outcomes and hence forth "only" managed a 50% once again.
Interesting facts about second round: None of us had 2/8 games correct, both on German soil it was:
Bayern M - Arsenal 1 - 1
Borussia Dortmund - Zenit St. Petersburg 1 - 2
A draw is always difficult to predict, in my opinion, I myself tried to something similar with Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but sadly I got it quite wrong. The Dortmund loss I think we can all agree on is a huge surprise.
Now for something much more interesting. Since we gave scores this time around, I'd like to point out that, while his score of 8/16 was good, but nothing exceptional, Angelito managed to guess 4/16 of the scores, or 50% of the games he'd correct he managed to guess the right score, that's very very impressive. In comparison, I'd 2 scores correct. 
Ok, that was all for this round, you can use a chainsaw to divide the trophy you've to share among yourselves, but please be gentle with the trophy, you'll have to hand it back for the next round ^^
IF THE UNIVERSE PERSIST FOR THAT LONG!

I'd probably speak with my heart so...I think I'll stick reading the first pages of this thread.
Funny how right was JJ about Spain & Uruguay chances in 2010 WC before the playoffs began

Some stats (was about to link a pic I found in reddit, but apparently it has data wrong. So I'll go with a shot from UEFA offical page):
Di María and Benzema with 5 assists, and Ronaldo with 4. Madrid ain't no joke this year.

In conclusion, you might wanna drop first half, but if it turns out there has fallen goal(s) when you come in for second, you might drop it as well..

*played Schalke
I did completely forget to make predictions, oopsy doopsy, I don't think I would have done that well, as I would have predicted Arsenal, Gala, and Olympiacos all going through, but unfortunately the upsets didn't happen. RVP 
This year's CL is pretty awesome though, the weakest team is United and on their day they can give anyone a hard time, Dortmund has got tons of injuries so maybe they would be one of the teams you would want to play, but everyone else is scary... I'm hoping we draw Dortmund, would be a great tie but we're still the favorites.
I just hope Real draw someone that can actually defend so Ronaldo can't pad his stats even more. I mean come on, 9-2? Really Schalke? Really?
