Bracket A - all times EDT
July 4th, 2014 - 12pm Brazil/Chile (6/28/14 - 12pm) V Columbia/Uruguay (6/28/14 - 4pm)
July 4th, 2014 - 4pm France/Nigeria (6/30/14 - 12pm) V Germany/Algeria (6/30/14 - 4pm)

July 5th, 2014 - 4pm Argentina/Switzerland (7/1/14 - 12pm) V USA/Belgium (7/1/14 - 4pm)
Netherlands - Mexico should be good.
And France vs. Nigeria, but on July 4th?! Isn’t that like an open invitation for the Islamic terrorists to strike again at one of their viewing events?
I predict there will be at least one South American team in the semifinals.
I think you’ve answered the question I asked hubby the other day about World Cup brackets.
You can only do the bracket thing when a loss leads to elimination, correct?
I pick Netherlands v. Germany in the final.
You’re really going out on a limb there.
So if the Netherlands loses the Final, will they be known as the “Buffalo Bills” of soccer?
