That is pretty sick. Same things can be said for summer/winter olympics. They live the host cities/countries with a glut of debt. Another strong example of corporatism.

I'm gonna try to revisit this tomorrow but just in case I don't: I have Germany winning the whole thing beating Spain in the final. Brazil beating Portugal for 3rd place.

My predictions:
Argentina vs. Brazil (all S.American Final) - with Argentina winning the cup.
Spain finishes 3rd.

Give me Argentina's road to the final, I guess. I couldn't get them past Portugal in my bracket, I think Portugal's offense breaks them down.

Argentina vs. France/ Swiss/ Ecuador/ Hondurus - (IMO it will be Ecuador)

Germany finishes 1st, Portugal barely finishes 2nd in their group to advance. Portugal faces Belgium in a tough game but wins out.

Argentina vs. Portugal (Going all out to secure 2nd spot in Group of Death and a tough game against Belgium will have Portugal exhausted...Argentina takes them out - too much offense for those tired legs)

Semifinals:

Argentina faces Spain
Brazil faces Germany

Argentina beats Spain...Brazil beats Germany


Finals:
Argentina beats heavy favorites Brazil in the Finals

Spain beats Germany for 3rd (cares NO ONE)

It's funny that you and I both have ARG-ECU and BEL-POR in the round of 16 with the same teams advancing and Portugal suffering to do so (I actually have them winning in PK's). It's plausible, but I feel biased running with that.

Belgium is very under-rated. I'll not be surprised one bit if they knockout Portugal. I also think playing against Russia or S.Korea isn't a lot of fun. So group of death got it really tough even after they advance.

Who do you think finishes 2nd in Group B?!? I'm going with Chile.
