    The SPI is way more accurate than the crap FIFA uses.

      Haven't seen it yet, but the twitters are alive saying John Oliver took down FIFA pretty well tonight on his HBO show.

      ETA: Just saw it. He eviscerates FIFA.

        If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

        BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

        Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

          It's on HBO. If it gets posted on YouTube I'll link it. I didn't know FIFA had spent $28million on a movie about FIFA starring Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter. It would have been perfect if he had spliced it with "The Godfather".

              So knowing how crabby FIFA is, England won't be getting a World Cup for 40 years.

                ESPN is also doing a pick 'em of every game in the World Cup. If you're interested in doing this in addition to the bracket I made a group.

                You'll have to keep checking in on it after reach round to pick the next slate of games.

                EDIT: This is not the bracket group that was previously posted. This is a new group and game. Unlike the other, which is a bracket predictor, this group is a game-by-game pick 'em of all 64 games.

                    The new laws, the criminal court FIFA set up in South Africa, the board room modeled after the War Room in Dr. Strangelove...that was new to me.

                        They are two different things. The first group is a bracket predictor. Mine is a game-by-game pick 'em. Pick all the group stage games, then wait for the round of 16, pick those games, quarters, etc...

                          The Dr. Strangelove board room was new but I knew about the others. Bill Archer on Bigsoccer has a tons of posts on this subject.

                                We should get the first referee assignment tomorrow. Supposedly since they're following UEFA's 48-hour rule.

                                Mark Geiger of the US is one of the potentials for the opening match.
