Ummm, the Jeff tribe has Sweden twice and no NORKs.  I'm guessing N. Korea is their $1 bet.

There is an idol hidden. Guesses prior to today do not count. So it is possible that the guess could have been said. Although, I do not recall this one being said

Soo.. as I see it, the only way Adams can win is if the US scores 1 or fewer goals.  So.. what we are rooting for is a 1-0 result, with the US scoring the lone goal after the half.  We could also win with a 1-1 tie.. or US loss.  Odds aren't good for us.
