So, for fun, I'm going to be picking the games in each group. These picks are not scientific, and they are chock full of my own weird biases and nonsense ideas.
Group A
South Africa vs. Mexico (6/11) - Draw
Uruguay vs. France (6/11) - France
South Africa vs. Uruguay (6/16) - Uruguay
France vs. Mexico (6/17) - France
France vs. South Africa (6/22) - France
Mexico vs. Uruguay (6/22) - Draw
1st Place: France 2nd Place: Uruguay
Rationale: I thought about writing a lot of different things here. I could write about how Diego Forlan is a reliable scorer for Uruguay. I could write about how home field advantage will buoy South Africa in that opening match. I could talk about how the various scandals and controversies that the French are dealing with could make them pull together and play better like the Italy '06 team. But I won't. Instead, I'll just say that my hatred for the Mexican national team burns hotter than a thousand suns.
