==================

 

I could see the final being Germany/Spain. M4x18 and clear14 may be on to something.

 

And, is nobody picking the USA even for fourth place?    

 

Note: boxofcorey and Grolin will have to PM me the score of the third place game, as that's the only duplicate I see so far.

 

Thanks again!  We are 48 hours away from the start of the tournament!  I might have to get sick as far as work is concerned. 

 

(Entries due by the end of the day tomorrow - midnight eastern standard time)

Also, no love for the Dutch despite making the last final???

 

I read an article about how they're willing to use "Total Football" or abandon it depending on opponent.  They might have a good plan.

If the USA reaches the quarter finals that would be a great accomplishment .

The Dutch will most likely play Brazil second round, hard to see them overcome that hurdle . Don't be too surprised if Chile finishes second in the group

Yes I know I'm not going to win but here is my emotional/illogical pick for Korea to win it all

1.  Korea

2.  Argentina

3.  3-2 in OT

4.  Brazil vs Spain

This is great, thanks Sauromosis! I'm amazed no one has gone for the mighty three lions of England! (laughing till my socks fall off...)

 

My choices are:

 

1. Brazil
2. Spain
3. 2-0
4. Germany v Uruguay.

If two stadiums burn down and someone gets shot for scoring in their own goal I better win something.

There's love for the Dutch, they are making it over Chile on that really tough group. But no way over Spain in group phase and Brazil in the round of 16.

1. Argentina

2. Spain

3. 2 - 1

4. Brazil vs Germany

Is this the forum to wax lyrical on any of the matches for the next 4 weeks?

1. The Netherlands

2. Brazil

3. 1-0

4. Germany vs. Belgium

 

More wishful thinking than anything else.

1. Brazil

2. Spain

3. 2-1

4. Germany vs. Argentina

Thanks to all participating and many thanks to generous sauromosis,

who is ready to part with the price for the contest.

 

Here is my entry:

 

1. The winning country  --------> Brazil

2. The runner up  -----------------> Spain

3. Final score of the final match (tie breaker) -------> 2:1

4. Pick the matchup of the third place game (last tie breaker)   ---> Italy-Germany (Italy winning 2:1)

 

Having only a few (dozen) participants gives a good chance of winning and this is interesting.

 

Again, thanks for setting up the contest!

 

 

I have a question, what if nobody picks the winner and runner-up? No Gunship for anyone?

If nobody picks the winner, it will come down to who had it "most close."  Someone will win.

England? Wow, I'm a patriot but I'm also a realist. It's going to be tough enough getting out of the group

I agree the group is tough but if we can get through that hhopefully confidence will be high and strange things can happen in a world cup cup (here's hoping!)
