Scoreboard Confusion

When I first saw the picks and results board for Yahoo! Sports Fantasy World Cup 2010, it took me a second to distinguish between an incorrect pick and the actual outcome between any given two countries.  There was something counterintuitive about their choice of icons and color coding for each row's status - it was using green checkmarks for wins, but gray checkmarks for selections, including incorrect ones.  And it was using red X's to mark the winner of the actual game outcome.

This meant that if you picked Italy to win against Slovakia (where Slovakia won), it would show you a gray checkmark on Italy to indicate that you picked it, which you might mistake as a winning result based on the similar green checkmark and background for actual winners.  In this case, the actual winner is marked by a red X and background, which you might mistake as an incorrect pick, rather than a correct result.  Seeing that the red X and background of the score prediction in the right columns actually do indicate an incorrect pick rather than result, this inconsistency only adds to the confusion.  (See the first screenshot.)

What I'd propose (in the second screenshot) is a modification that clearly distinguishes all actual outcomes the same way, say, with a bounding border with a soccer ball (not a trophy, as only one ultimate team gets a trophy).  The green checks and red X's would then be reserved for what people associate with them - correct or incorrect - in this case, the correctness of your pick.  After all, it doesn't make sense to call a country's actual win "incorrect", so it's best that the green/red system doesn't correspond with actual results at all.
