ESPN World Cup Bracket Predictor

[Game Plan]

In short, think of a March Madness bracket only for the World Cup.

Set up your bracket, and let's see who really knows something about football (soccer)....or who is just lucky as well. Just sign up if you don't have an ESPN account (it's free), make your entry and join the group. Here's a quick break down of how the scoring is done:

A correct answer in a given round is shown below:

[B]Group Stage[/B] - 1 point per correct pick
Group Stage Bonus - 1 point per pick if team is in correct slot
[B]Round of 16[/B] - 2 points per correct pick
Round of 16 Bonus - 2 points per pick if team is in correct slot
[B]Quarterfinals[/B] - 4 points per correct pick
Quarterfinals Bonus - 4 points per pick if team is in correct slot
[B]Semifinals[/B] - 8 points per correct pick
Semifinals Bonus - 8 points per pick if team is in correct slot
[B]Finals[/B] - 32 points for correct pick

Also you can have 5 total entries if you want to set up another group among your friends/co-workers/etc. Only one bracket for the group please.

Fixed the post that had the different date. There is another thing ESPN has for the Cup and realized I was looking at that.

So remember, picks in by the 11th.

I root for the African nations first, the Caribbean nations second and Brazil. I also root for the US to fall on it's face. Because we always think we can buy our way into a title

Nothin wrong with that. The African nations are faced w/ some tough injuries but maybe they will surprise ppl and can over come it. Should fill out a bracket and see how you do.
