You better you bet.

Daniel Austin (aka Don Roid) isn't a member here AFAIK, but he's an occasional contributor over on Sumotalk and periodically features sumo on his podcast, where he's interviewed Mike and others of the ST crew along with Moti, Osunaarashi, Byamba, and others.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but: I need England to lose in 90 minutes and break his chain right there to take it to PKs. I can't score any more goals beyond the 3 slot because either a) Switzerland wins or draws and breaks my chain in the 4 slot or b) Switzerland loses, breaking my chain at #5 regardless of the ENG-COL result due to it being my (R) team. If his chain doesn't break at 3, I give up a goal at slot 4 if Switzerland wins, at slot 6 if Sweden wins, or in both slots in case of a draw.

Other eliminated C/R teams are still listed.

Need to scratch Senegal and Panama.

The nightmare scenario I feared has come to pass, but I don't regret my picks. Onward to the consolation rounds....

Please confirm? Thanks.

Does being an "Inactive member" have something to do with it?

Confirmed, and choices submitted.

Is it too late to join the party?

Impressive cluster (of unimpressiveness) here, incorporating two different rikishi with the same shikona.

Except Tuxedo Mask looks cooler and travels with his own theme music.

NHK World is also available on Roku devices as a "private channel"--it's still free, but it's not shown on their channel listings and you have to add it manually: https://www.rokuchannels.tv/nhkworld/
