The 2nd round was couples round |
There are two other couples of a different kind remaining after the second round. Brian Markwood and Doug Samuelson both have Argentina and Belgium and Ivan Glenney and his uncle Matt Snyder both share Brazil and Columbia.
The second round saw Argentina, Germany, the USA, Belgium and Portugal removed from the draft board. The third and fourth round selections will set the true contenders apart from the rest as everyone tries to land two World Cup dark horses with their remaining picks.
Greg commented on most of my observations on the 2nd round already, so I will only add a few comments. Not just two, but three Rutz family members will be routing for Mexico. Two brothers share Belgium: Doug and Greg. Two other brothers share Germany: Evan and Gray. A mother and daughter share Italy: Sharleen and Emilie. (Carol B.)
