Footie Fever

 So I'm in the process of preparing a World Cup guide. Here is a preview .pdf, it is a massive file, Freddie Coups helped out, take a look if you have time. (Scroll down to the middle of the page).
Also wanted to put my predictions on paper (virtual paper), please add yours in the comments.

group a: mexico, s. africa
group b: argentina, south korea
group c: england, algeria
group d: germany, serbia
group e: netherlands
group f: italy, slovakia
group g: brazil, ivory coast
group h: spain, chile

round of 16
1st bracket:
mexico v. south korea: mexico
england v. serbia: england
holland v. slovakia: holland
brazil v. chile: brazil
--
mexico v. england: england
holland v. brazil: brazil
--
england v. brazil: brazil

2nd bracket:
germany v. algeria: germany
argentina v. south africa: argentina
italy v. cameroon: italy
spain v. ivory coast: spain

germany v. argentina: germany

not very bold choices I know, but the last stages of the World Cup have never really produced surprises. Competitive imbalance.

France looked feeble today gents. POrtugal will get pushed around by bigger and stronger teams later in the tourney, just like they were pushed around by germany 2 years ago in Euro 08.
