So, are we going to make a sweepstake of the WC? (not sure if that's the proper term to use, I googled it but I'm not confident on the result). You know, bet on the winner, bet on the result of the games, etc.

Belgium and Colombia are my predictions for dark horse of the competition. Though Belgium is getting too much attention already, so they'll probably just choke.

Ilios is from Beligum, so you can count them out.

I'll certainly join any WC prediction enterprise.

Count me in. Rooney to play < 100 mins is my bet.

No point in betting, the USA is going to win cause we're the best at everything, so it's kinda a done deal.

I can run a predictions (and sweepstake) for the WC if you like - I did it 4 years ago and it worked well

Cool .

USA 3, Germany 1.

Units are goals allowed.

I prefer Switzerland over Belgium as a dark horse.

Belgium really aren't a dark horse with their ranking, seeding and awesome players. France would be more of a dark horse than them.

I would look at Ecuador or Colombia as my dark horses

It's usually termed a pool. A sweepstakes is a luck based drawing.

I was thinking of doing both.

One random.org allocation for shits and giggles, and then a prediction league like last time for more skilled competition
