Okay, one more crack at the World Cup. Now that I've had a chance to see the teams in action (unlike the NCAA tourney, where you have an entire regular season, plus conference tourneys to see who's hot), I want to take the knockout teams and play it through, because matchups are sooo crucial to this thing.
Round of 16 Germany:Sweden, Argentina:Mexico, England:Ecuador, Holland:Portugal, Italy:Australia, Switzerland:Ukraine, Brazil:Ghana, Spain:France
Quarters Germany:Argentina, Australia:Switzerland, England:Holland, Brazil:Spain
Semis Argentina:Switzerland, Holland:Spain
Vice-Championship Switzerland:Spain
Championship of the World Argentina:Holland
And never will.

So your argument is that this is a better guess because you're more informed. As evidence, you cite the NCAA. Which, by the way, you weren't exactly 100% on...
'cause the GATORS one!
WAHOO! GO GATORS!
Glad you're enjoying the big city.
Won as well as one.
