Wait...What Are The Rules Again?

World Cup debutantes Bosnia and Herzegovina made it seem like they didn't quite understand how to play the game. In reality, they scored twice to Argentina's one goal, but just to be sure they knew what to do, they scored once on each goal. That is to say, three minutes into the game Sead Kolasinac accidentally knocked the ball past his own goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. Argentina didn't even have to work for it. This is the only free pass they'll be getting in a World Cup hosted by Brazil. Not to be outdone, superstar Lionel Messi finally scored his first World Cup goal since 2006 in the 65th minute. Bosnia and Herzegovina finally got their act together in the 85th minute when Vedad Ibisevic scored for the Dragons and left this game a respectable 2-1 loss. Now that they get how to play, the Bosnians should be a tough draw. Surely, Sead Kolasinac will be wondering "what if?" about his own goal. Though losing the first game makes it harder to advance to the knockout stages, they're not out of this tournament yet.

Today was Father's Day, and just saw proud poppa Ferrarius scored 4 points today, with a two bonus point performance. That great showing was topped by Artifex who had a 3 for 3 day picking up two bonus points along that way. Congratulations contestant Artifex. You are today's Player of the Day. Here is your Niko Kovac smile...

Today we have learned the advantage of a Super Bonus point, as it moved Ferrarius from worst to first for a brief showing. Now, that contestant sits second in the grouping. Though Super Bonus points do not grow on trees, there will be more out there to grab. Keep your eyes open, contestants. May the best and brightest of you shine.
