@Louis: I'll need your tiebreaker answers, and I take it you have Spain beating Brazil in the final?
@Sasaki: I know soccer has a bad reputation in the US, but 54 goals total? There are 64 total games in the tournament.

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.
