Why not post our predictions in this thread? It would be interesting to compare them.

Just for the record, if you predict for example Italy as winner of the Bermuda Bowl and they lose in the Semis, you still get the points for predicting a correct semifinalist (6 p.)

[pclayton]

Have they posted the groups yet?

[Gerben42]

Groups? What groups?
There is be a complete RR then QF, SF, and Final just like last time.

Ahh, there it is, thank you Roland.
Now I only have to make a plan so I can watch vugraph while I am at school

BB:
QF: Netherlands-Brasil-Ireland-Sweden
SF: China-USA1

Why can't we predict all 8 QFs and 4 SFs ?

[PeterE]

mmmh, just one hint

I guess, Gerben wants us to name those QFinalists that will lose and those SFinalists that will lose, so you should have 8 different national teams for every event eventually ...

But I must admit, I also needed a minute to come to this conclusion
