Germany (even though I've just guessed at Holland reaching the final

They'll both lose in the same round! Well, OK, I'll go for Serbia.

Algeria (although I wouldn't be surprised to see them both end bottom
of their group)

Nice one. Ivory Coast, but I'm actually 50-50 on this one. This
outcome will have as much to do with how well Brazil do their homework
and how much of a surprise North Korea might pose on a given day, than
with POR and CIV own performances.

Nice one as well. Serbia. While I believe the round of 16 is the
probable finish for both, I think Serbia has a bigger chance to go
further.

(If I decide to explain another single pick, then I should be
disqualified for oversophisticating this truly unsophisticated game).

North Korea


Very, very nice choices of teams to compare. Well done.

While I managed to shut up and avoid disqualification, let me add for
the record that this contest is more sophisticated than it seems at
first. The system is simple, true, but the picks are subtle.
