So my bets for who gets out of the group stage:
Brazil
Croatia
Spain
Netherlands
Colombia
Cote d'Ivoire
Uruguay
Italy
France
Switzerland
Argentina
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Germany
Portugal
Belgium
Russia (though I wish them all the worst and am rooting for South Korea
I think that France and other Muslim countries can be affected by their religion and players not eating or drinking the whole day. Wonder how much of an impact this is going to have.
Also, I'm changing my prediction for the opening game. Brazil 2:1 Croatia.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
