The 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off today and we’re excited to watch all the thrilling action over the next 31 days. A case of fútbol fever broke out this week in our office, which is currently adorned with team jerseys and scarves. We’re ratcheting up the fun meter by having an internal bracket tournament. For some of the most exciting matchups, whoever guesses the winning team and number of goals scored gets to take home a jersey of their choice. But first they have to wear it around the office! So let the games begin!
What country do you think is going to win this year?
My bet is on the USA (obviously), but judging from a few shout outs around the office sounds like many are for France, Spain and even Mexico.

USA will NOTTTTTT win!
Go México!!
Well, Brazil and Germany have been in 11 of the past 13 World Cup finals so I’m going with Brazil. I want the US to win but the realist in me is overshadowing the optimist!
I bet all my money on Africa. The guy who took the bet gave me great odds, and even gave me a discount if I paid in cash!! (I’m not a big fan of dark sunglasses and oversized trenchcoats, but this guy really pulled the look off!)
Hmmm… Just found out that Africa is a continent, not a country. (Darn, Shakira’s music video really had me convinced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0)
By the way, if anybody sees a guy with sunglasses and trenchcoat driving around in an unmarked van… let me know.
