Thanks to all for playing and I hope it will be a good contest and keep us amused over these long winter nights.

I think poster "dec" has 7 of the 8 most common picks, choosing Switzerland instead of Uruguay.
Most common final pairings are Brazil/France with 11 and Brazil/Argentina with 7.
The thread will be locked until the entirety of Round 1 is complete. Scores will be posted at that time.
Remember each country will have their goals scored added to the points from the group...it will be World Cup GAA-style with Goals and Points counting.
