With the world cup just around the corner, I thought it would be good if we had a world cup prediction thing. Although there are good excel predictors around, collating peoples entries will be a pain, so I think the best option is to just post who you think will finish where in each group, and then the results of the knockout phase. Not sure how to score, perhaps a point for correct group placing, and a point for each correct knock out match, bonus points for guessing the tournament winners correctly.

Tournament Format is as so:

Teams
Group A: Germany, Costa Rica, Poland, Ecuador
Group B: England, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, Sweden
Group C: Argentina, Ivory Coast, Serbia & Montenegro, Netherlands
Group D: Mexico, Iran, Angola, Portugal
Group E: Italy, Ghana, USA, Czech Republic
Group F: Brazil, Croatia, Australia, Japan
Group G: France, Switzerland, South Korea, Togo
Group H: Spain, Ukraine, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia

Knockout Format
Second Round
Match 1 - A1 vs B2 (Winner of Group A vs 2nd place in Group B) etc.....
Match 2 - C1 vs D2
Match 3 - B1 vs A2
Match 4 - D1 vs C2
Match 5 - E1 vs F2
Match 6 - G1 vs H2
Match 7 - F1 vs E2
Match 8 - H1 vs G2

Quarter Finals
QF1 - Winner Match 1 vs Winner Match 2
QF2 - Winner Match 5 vs Winner Match 6
QF3 - Winner Match 3 vs Winner Match 4
