    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.

    Tough to do as we don't know who will play who after the group stages. A lot has to do with GD...

    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.

    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)
