2010 World Cup Bracket Prediction Thread

[drone]

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:

1. France , Mexico , South Africa , Uruguay
2. Argentina , Greece , Nigeria , South Korea
3. Algeria , England , Slovenia , USA
4. Australia , Germany , Ghana , Serbia
5. Cameroon , Denmark , Japan , Netherlands
6. Italy , New Zealand , Paraguay , Slovakia
7. Brazil , Ivory Coast , North Korea , Portugal
8. Chile , Honduras , Spain , Switzerland

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

After the group stage, I may put up a secondary contest for predicting the bracket as it is actually laid out. I think johnhughthom is doing actual game score live predictions in the World Cup thread. Someone else should fire up a World Cup fans (babes) contest.
