Already got my Vuvuzela ready to go

How do we match up against Bosnia & Herzegovina?

The WC starts now.

They're a very slow team, both in style/pace and athleticism

How does Argentina get a cake walk to the semis?

They tied Canadia, got crushed by the Swiss, and beat Qatar (who went 0-1-2). US should advance here. I hope easily, but I suspect we will make it harder than it needs to be...

They are going to park the bus bigtime and pray for a counter or kicks.

Who you got in each match up? My best guess...

• Germany over Paraguay
• France over over Sweden

This creates a monster match up in the next round! France advances.

• South Africa over Canada
• Netherlands over Morocco

Pretty easy path for Netherlands to advance.

• Portugal over Croatia
• Spain over Austria

Pretty easy path for Spain to advance.

• USA over B&H
• Belgium over Senegal

USA! USA! USA! should advance.

• Brazil over Japan
• Norway over Ivory Coast

I'll take Norway to row into the next round.

• Mexico over Ecuador
• England over DR Congo

Another monster match up! Mexico probably moves on (sadly).

• Argentina over Cape Verde (bye bye Cinderella!)
• Egypt over Australia

Argentina cake walk.

• Switzerland over Algeria
• Colombia over Ghana

Colombia most likely advance.

Should be a fun week of incredible football!

Mexico gets to play in Azteca at altitude 3 games in a row. I would hardly call that getting screwed. Assuming England win against Congo (hardly a given how they have played) they will have 4 days to acclimate.

I would trade spots with Argentina in a second.

Yeah they have an easy path no question.

Is espn the most popular bracket challenge app?

I don't know about ESPN but FIFA is simple and doesn't require guessing goals so easier for casual fans to fill out.

Loving the videos with the ex-coaches. Guess Jurgen didn't get the invite.

Impossible for Mexico soccer to get screwed hard enough.

Anyone else have a budding feeling that the Canucks screw up today?

Why do I dislike the Caandian team over Mexico now?

Picks aside, this is how I want a bracket formatted for ever more.

Because they're a bunch of hosers, eh?

Go Bafana Bafana!

That being said, I've got America's Hat winning 2-1.

They're both insufferable, but Mexico is actually decent at soccer while Canada is over-hyped. I view MX the same way I do tu - root for whoever their opponent is, expect to see atrocious fan behavior and relentless whining when the result doesn't go their way.

Yokel's anthem reviews
I know that South Africa's anthem is well liked by some, but I find the combination of two different tunes musically incoherent.

"O Canada" is not a particularly good song, but I have it defeating South Africa to move on to the round of 16!

Liam Millar has an eminently punchable face.

South afreeca

Letting em play

South Africa playing with fire there

Great game so far. Both teams on the attack.

Give South African goalie a raise

How that ball didn't find the back of the net is a miracle

Fantastic no call on that penalty shout

Lol at Canada's players preventing Marsch from talking to the ref.
