You don't need to provide your selection for each game when you register. You can enter your pick for each game up to an hour before the game. We are hoping our average score can best the Seattlest and Shanghaiist competitors and prove Chicago has more knowledgeable soccer fans.

Chicagoist also suggests you start complaining to your boss today about feeling ill so when you call in sick tomorrow you sound more credible.
