World Cup Predictions Game
One more day and we're in World Cup heaven, lads. I'm going to toss out a proposal for a predictions game. I'm certainly no math expert, so I'll keep this simple. If you want to revise the rules in any way, go right ahead. Here's what I propose:
1 point - Correct prediction for each team that qualifies for the Round of Sixteen.
2 points - If you get the correct placement; i.e. first/second place in the group.
4 points - Correct prediction of Quarterfinalist team.
6 points - Correct prediction of Semifinalist team.
8 points - Correct prediction of Finalist
10 points - Correct prediction of World Champion.
6 points - Correct prediction of top scorer/Golden Boot.
That adds up to 120 points for perfect predictions (if I haven't screwed up the math). I'm going to let the rest of you take a crack at it first and I'll be back later with my predictions.
Good luck!

This is too much for me!!
I sort of agree with a gooner which is killing me.
I will pick the Gooner picks but as a Golden Boot I pick Gerrard/Ronaldiho with seven.
You've actually got the brackets wrong from the Quarters onward. Based on your picks from the Round of Sixteen, these would be the Quarterfinal matchups:
Germany vs. Argentina
England vs. Ivory Coast
Italy vs. Switzerland
Brazil vs. France
Give us your final four and finalists from that lot.
