2010 World Cup Bracket Prediction Thread
Now is your chance to be the .Org's football prognosticator extraordinaire. Guess the World Cup bracket results, and win the respect of fellow Orgahs and the admiration of women across the globe!
Rules:
Entries must be either posted in this thread or PM'ed to me (if you don't want to tip others with your picks) before the start of group play on June 11th, 1400 GMT(I think...). No edits should be made to these entries after the start of play, smack talking and discussion should be made in separate posts.
PM'ed entries with be made public once play starts.
I will try to post results and updated brackets/tiebreaker stats/point standings at the end of each round. (work schedule permitting).
The person with the most points wins. In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker entries will be used in ascending order to determine the winner.
Scoring:- Group Stage - 1 point (team advances out of group)
- Group Stage Bonus - 1 point if team placement, 1st or 2nd in group, is correct
- Round of 16 - 2 points per team advancing
- Round of 16 Bonus - 2 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
- Quarterfinals - 4 points per team advancing
- Quarterfinals Bonus - 4 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
- Semifinals - 8 points per team advancing
- Semifinals Bonus - 8 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
- Finals - 32 points for correct pick
So to get the bonus points in all stages, you will need to correctly determine the group winners and runner-ups.
For reference, here are the groups:- France :france:, Mexico :mexico:, South Africa :southafrica:, Uruguay :uruguay:
- Argentina :argentina:, Greece :greece:, Nigeria :nigeria:, South Korea :southkorea:
- Algeria :algeria:, England :england:, Slovenia :slovenia:, USA :unitedstates:

For entries, just cut this section (including code tags) out here and make your picks.

I picked very conservatively. Mostly relying on reputation more than form.
Some groups are quite easy to predict, others are impossible. I think goup A is the least predictable, it really could go any way. Group F - now that Drogba is out - I think is the most predictable.
I am relying on Serbia not to succumb to infighting, and on the Americans to take out Algeria for me.

I think Serbia has far better players than Oz and Ghana.
Then again, maybe I'm still recovering from Serbia pwning France in the qualification round.
Which, come to think of it, perhaps isn't all that much of an achievement. And I hear Serbia has a lot of internal strife. Maybe I overestimate their prowess.

Yeah and USA plays 8 games of the 64...8X4=32...54-32= 22, so that's only 34 0-0 ties in the tournemant, not that extreme.

Surprising how you've all gone for such conservative red card counts and goals scored. The last 5 world cups have an average red card count of 19.6. The average goals scored over the last 5 world cups is 147. Plus if you look at trends based on host nation (recent world cups only, for tactical reasons), there seems to be an affect over goals scored, with the defensive minded Italians hosting 1990 where only 115 goals were scored. So a chaotic country like South Africa should foster an attacking tournament.

Where did you hear about internal strife? The atmosphere within the squad (and among the nation and the press, too) is the best I've seen in the last 15-20 years...
EDIT: And what's a "wooden spoon" award?

I dunno, Sarmatian. I thought I remembered reading about volatile internal peace in the Serbian camp somewhere. Don't know where again.
A google reveals that Antic has the authority to be above strife, that the traditionally unruly and fractious players accept his authority. I guess I misread the point of some article then. Whereas Serbia, which always draws from a tremendous pool of talent, has always been prone to internal strife, it is not at this moment.
(Which remains to be seen - will the peaceful atmosphere hold in the face of possible adversity?)
The 'Wooden Spoon' is the Scotland Lifetime Rugby Award.

Here's my entry, anyway, based a bit on previous WCs I've seen, strength of the groups, selected 23-man squads and relevant injuries, so on and so forth. I based my total goal prediction on the fact that some of the stadia can be unsettling and many of the teams, European in particular, won't like those darn plastic trumpets that the South Africans use and there could be some problems with the heat and such. :3

And what is the Wooden Spoon award? Does it mean the team that scores the least, concedes the most, worst overall team, underperforming team? Or is it player-applicable?

Re: 2010 World Cup Bracket Prediction Thread
The Wooden Spoon "award" is for the worst team in the tourney. Least points in the group stage (usually 0), with the worst goal differential. Think USA in 1998. ~:rolleyes:

Re: 2010 World Cup Bracket Prediction Thread
Secura since you have the Netherlands getting to the final I'm surprised you haven't picked van Persie for Golden boot. He's been scoring for fun lately. 4 in the last 3 friendlies if I am not mistaken.

Spain have a far easier group and I'd expect Torres to get at least two or three in the two games he plays for the groups, and then perhaps one or two more in the knockouts; I don't think we'll be seeing someone win the award with a huge amount of goals, it's more likely to be around the five/six mark. :3

The Dutch power through to the finals, being on the fairly weak side of the bracket. Argentina find their form, beat England on penalties, and make it past Spain in an entertaining 4-3 match. Then, drunk with power and high on cocaine, Maradona benches Messi (the eventual Golden Boot winner) and puts himself in at forward to relive his past glory. The experiment is not a success, and the Orange get their star.
Speaking of stars, it doesn't look like England have one on their emblem. What's up with that? Do they feel guilty that the ball didn't actually cross the line in '66? Would they be breaking some sacred heraldric convention by adding one? Is the lack of the star the cause of their woes since '66? It's a very curious omission. :inquisitive:

How so? Just quote the OP, delete everything outside the code tags, and fill in the bracket and tiebreaks. I made the bracket lines 12 chars long, should hold the name of every country in the Cup. The code tags keep the char size fixed, so the formatting stays. It's not ideal, but I'm no webmaster. I'll fix formatting if necessary when I sum up at the start of the tourney.
The number-letter pair at the ends of the lines denote the first and second place teams of the 8 groups (A-H).
