2014 World Cup 2.0 Teams and Odds (Updated)



Alright 2.0 pool members. I am posting the teams and odds so everyone will have a reference to check their own teams and everyone else's in the pool. I have also ranked them based on the odds of winning, placing much more weight on the favorites. I will update the odds, which keep changing, one final time right before the cup kicks off.

1. Fredi -
BRAZIL 11:4
Bosnia & Herzegovina 150:1
Cameroon 750:1
Costa Rica 2500:1

When you get Brazil, you get automatic 1 ranking. Nobody else on your team really poses a threat, but they don't really need to.

2. Tim -
Argentina 4:1
Belgium 20:1
Uruguay 28:1
Croatia 175:1

Best collection of teams, with all 4 possibly making it out of their group. 3 powerhouses. Buckets keeps winning.

3. AJ -
Germany 6:1
Italy 25:1
Chile 50:1
Australia 2500:1

Germany was the last pick and ended up being your best. I'm sure you would have been happy with just Italy, but the rich could get richer. Chile also a dark horse.

4. Lorenzo -
Spain 6:1
Portugal 22:1
Ecuador 125:1
U.S.A. 250:1

Spain was a big pull for me and I couldn't be happier with them. Winner of the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 Euro championship thingy. Portugal was another good get since Christiano and I are like kindred spirits. Got them in both pools.

5. Bobby -
France 22:1
Colombia 40:1
Greece 200:1
Algeria 1500:1

France and Colombia lead the way and I couldn't feel more different about them as countries. Mostly because the French suck. Just look at Heather. Better hope Colombia uses their country specialty to get their players ready to go...Coffee of course! They could also be somewhat of a home favorite, being so close to Brazil...

6. John -
Netherlands (Holland) 28:1
Russia 80:1
Nigeria 300:1
Honduras 1500:1

The Netherlands are your best shot. They were runner-up last cup so they could be a dark horse. Russia's odds keep going down too so they may be a nice longshot. Maybe a shirtless Putin on a horse can rally them.

7. Mark (Gary) -
England 25:1
Mexico 200:1
Ghana 200:1
Korea 250:1

Pretty much your only shot is England. They're a good team though so anything is possible. Could be worse, you could be this next guy...

Dead Last. Mike Wong -
Switzerland 100:1
Japan 150:1
Ivory Coast 150:1
Iran 2500:1

The guy who got bit by the snake. This is a tragic draw. Don't think I've seen a worse one ever. Time to root for complete chaos.

If you want to trade teams this is totally allowed, but all trades have to go through me so no collusion happens. These trades can happen before the cup AND during. I don't trust you assholes.

Worst of luck everyone!
