They are advertising this on ESPN* and i was curious if people wanted to participate and if so, what level? Team pick'em? Draft a team? Both Other ideas? Perhaps if we had a $5 donation to 65 Roses for each entry, we could come up with a decent prize (Objectivo shirts or soccer.com gift card) and get people in other forums to join and make it a fundraiser for this important charity. *We obviously won't do it on ESPN, as their fantasy sucks.
i guess we could just start over each stage. guess groups and whoever gets the most right there gets so many points. a point for each team to advance from groups or something. and then a bracket for each knockout round? 2 points for the qfs, 4 for the semis, 10 for the final? something like that.
Groups Group A 1. South Africa 2. Mexico 3. Uruguay 4. France Group B 1. Argentina 2. Nigeria 3. South Korea 4. Greece Group C 1. England 2. United States 3. Algeria 4. Slovenia Group D 1. Germany 2. Australia 3. Serbia 4. Ghana Group E 1. Netherlands 2. Denmark 3. Japan 4. Cameroon Group F 1. Italy 2. Paraguay 3. New Zealand 4. Slovakia Group G 1. Brazil 2. North Korea 3. Côte d'Ivoire 4. Portugal Group H 1. Spain 2. Switzerland 3. Honduras 4. Chile Begin predictions....now!
Here's my best guess...(mostly just based on fifa rankings, etc.) Group A: Mexico, France Group B: Argentina, Greece Group C: England, United States Group D: Germany, Australia Group E: Netherlands, Cameroon Group F: Italy, Paraguay Group G: Brazil, Portugal Group H: Spain, Chile
No real group of death to speak of (maybe G? Ivory Coast is a sleeper). I was convinced we were going to draw France from pool 4. Just about jizzed my pants when Slovenia was picked! Group A Uruguay, France Group B Argentina, Nigeria Group C England, United States Group D Germany, Serbia Group E Netherlands, Denmark Group F Italy, Paraguay Group G Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire Group H Spain, Chile
Tough group to call. I feel like FIFA would let Ronaldo dribble the ball with his hands to get Portugal to the next level. Ivory coast is really tough tho.
G is the GoD... Brazil, North Korea (0 GA in qualifying), Ivory Coast (Dogbra is pretty good) and Portugal (Tranaldo is fast and likes to fall)
