Yeah, I start all kinds of contest! And this one is more worldly than any of the others! ;)
I love soccer, and most of my friends here in Arkansas could give a flip less about the World Cup.
So, I have to live through the rest of you!!

Come join, I'll give 5k GP's to the winner, just make sure I can figure out what team is yours.....

Thanks, and good luck,
Leo

Brazil is stacked with talented scorers not sure how they can't make it all the way. Kaka and Ronaldo are hard to stop.

Just joined Leo. If I had seen this, I would have joined sooner

Had Brazil over Spain as the final. But I wouldn't be surprised if they play in the second round - Brazil's group is kind of hard

I'll put in 250K SIMcash for the winner

Forty Four Years Worlds Abound x October Magic (Lokite Magic) $1K
Piston Azamour x Ipi Tombe (Manshood) $7.5K

My thinking is similar to this though I have Holland winning the tournament. One of these times they have to break through, might as well be this year.

Along those lines I wouldn't be too surprised to see Robben among the leading scorers. He takes more speculative, long-range shots than anyone but he's been hitting them at a fair rate this year, particularly in champions league play. He's nailed some spectacular goals recently.

I remember back in '94 when the cup was in the US everyone said Brazil stunk that year too. They don't look terriboly impressive but they always have to be in the mix of favorites.

If Argentina wasn't being managed by a total psycho I'd say they'd be the deserving favorites, but the hand of god will almost certainly manage to * it up somehow.

My first glance at this thread made me think of World Cup, the SIM stallion. Then I realized that it was soccer.

I'm in.
