I have updated the sign up list and have also added a clear list of the rules and points scheme to the fixture list post.

Just to make clear, if you wish to make Golden Boot & Total Goals predictions then you need to submit your predictions before the start of the first match at 21:00 GMT on 12th June 2014

Thanks to all who have signed up so far.

Also, I have decided to have a higher scoring scheme for the knockout matches to try and encourage a greater spread of 'Joker' usage.

My predictions for the totals and the first round of games:
Total Goals scored in the tournament (including successful penalties in shootouts): 164

Golden Boot Winner: It'll be one of Miroslav Klose, Sergio Agüero and Phil Jagielka. I'll go for Miroslav Klose and he probably won't play a game...

First round of games:
Code:
Brazil    0    0    Croatia
Mexico    2    0    Cameroon
Spain    0    0    Netherlands
Chile    4    0    Australia
Colombia    2    1    Greece
Côte d'Ivoire    2    1    Japan
Uruguay    3    0    Costa Rica
England    1    1    Italy
Switzerland    0    0    Ecuador
France    3    0    Honduras
Argentina    3    0    Bosnia-Herzegovina
Germany    3    2    Portugal
Iran    1    2    Nigeria
Ghana    0    1    USA
Belgium    1    0    Algeria
Russia    2    0    Korea Republic
