2010 World Cup
Just a quick review, since we're in the midst of world cup fever right now anyway.
Group A provides us with an insane coincidence... we see Slovakia and Paraguay advance, while Italy finishes 3rd and doens't make the group stage. If the 4th team was New Zealand instead of Togo, I'd be really creeped out(this is exactly what happened in group F in the real world).
The USA drew group C with France, South Africa and Chile. They earned only 1 point as France and South Africa advanced.
Group D brought more weirdness where Ghana and Saudi Arabia advance over Greece and Holand.
Mexico failing to make it out of their group with Argentina and Switzerland is the only other noteworthy group event.
The second round sees the world powers start to fall as Slovakia beats Brazil on pk's. Paraguay beats Germany.
In the quarters, Ghana beats Slovakia, Paraguay over France, Spain over England, Argentina over Ivory Coast.
Ghana takes down Argentina 2-1, Paraguay beats Spain 1-0 in extra time.
Paraguay beats Ghana 2-1 to win the world cup. Spain over Argentina for 3rd.
