World Cup Brazil 2014 game
(I post this here because it's kind of urgent and not everyone of our small group reads the sports forum.)
I've been thinking we should have a game - World Cup is only every four years, you know.
I'm trying to make this reasonably simple and quick, so you'll only need to read this post carefully and make one post and you're set for whole tournament.
The game - like the tournament - is in two parts: group stage and knockout stage.
For group stage you guess which two teams qualify from each group. You get one point for each right.
(Copy-paste/quote the following and remove two teams from each group:)
A: Brazil Croatia Mexico Cameroon
B: Spain Netherlands Chile Australia
C: Colombia Greece Ivory Coast Japan
D: Uruguay Costa Rica England Italy
E: Switzerland Ecuador France Honduras
F: Argentina Bosnia and Herzegovina Iran Nigeria
G: Germany Portugal Ghana USA
H: Belgium Algeria Russia South Korea
For knockout stage you choose one group A to H. You get two points for each game won by the two teams that continue from that group (except only one point for bronze game).
So choose of the groups A to H one you think has best teams.
(If you chose wrong from the group you still have which ever teams did qualify from that group.)
My and mom's choices:
Kaunisto:
A: Brazil Mexico
B: Spain Netherlands
C: Colombia Japan
D: England Italy
E: Ecuador France
F: Argentina Bosnia and Herzegovina
G: Germany Portugal
H: Belgium South Korea
group B
Simelius:
A: Brazil Cameroon
B: Spain Netherlands
C: Ivory Coast Japan
D: Uruguay Italy
E: France Honduras
F: Argentina Nigeria
G: Germany Portugal
H: Algeria South Korea
group B

Re:
I'm really not interested in this game at all Kaunisto. I find football extremely boring, and I'm not too impressed with Brazil.

Re:
Don't do football either.
I love the tennis, but nobody else here seems to enjoy it so I don't talk about it anymore.

Re: World Cup Brazil 2014 game
I need a new audience for my games.
Somebody, please, take a wild guess.
It'll be more fun for the next month (for me).
