Brasil 2014 Predictions Game!

With merely eight days left to the beginning of Brasil 2014 (can you smell the excitement?!), it's time to get started on our predictions game for the upcoming World Cup. If you could email me your predictions for the following categories by the start of tournament a week Thursday, I'll add you to the mix for brand new LOB Cup.

correct team plus an extra point if you get them in the correct

order)
* The winners of each of the eight Round of Sixteen matches (3 points

per team)
* The winners of each of the four Quarterfinal matches (4 points per

team)
* The winners of each of the two Semifinals (6 points per team)
* Champions! (10 points)
* The scorer of first goal scored in the tournament (2 points)

* The first match to go to a penalty shoot-out (2 points)
