2014 World Cup Confidence Pool

Another World Cup, another chance for the USA to show the world how much we
hate
love
soccer
"football"!


Rules:

Each player ranks the 32 teams in order of how they think the teams will do from best (the team that you think will win it all) to worst (the team you think has no shot of even winning one game). These rankings will be used to determine the multiplier you give for each team when scoring...like so:

Best team - x32
Second best - x31
Third best - x30
...
Worst x1


So for example, if you think Brazil will win all the glory, and rank them #1, you would be giving them a multiplier of x32. If you rate England as the second best team, you would be giving them a multiplier of x31, etc.


Scoring:

Each team will earn a certain number of points based on how many games they win, and how far the advance.

Group Stage

Win: +3 points
Draw: +1 point
Loss: 0 points

Each team that advances to the knockout round will earn an additional bonus point.


Knockout

R16: +6 points for win
Quarter: +7 points for win
Semi: +8 points for win
Finals: +9 points for win


Winning:

At the end, I will take each team's points and multiply it by the multiplier you gave for that team, and add em all up to create your final score. The person with the most points wins!

Spoiler: Here's a small example:
Player A ranks the teams
1. Brazil
2. Spain
3. England
4. USA
5. Germany

And Player B ranks the teams:
1. Spain
2. Brazil
3. England
4. Germany
5. France

Using the games from the 2010 World Cup:
Brazil - 14pts (Group: 2 wins, 1 draw, +1 Knockout, R16 win)
Spain - 37pts (Group: 2 wins, +1 Knockout, R16 win, QF win, SF win, F win)
England - 6pts (Group: 1 win, 2 draws, +1 Knockout)
USA - 6pts (Group: 1 win, 2 draws, +1 Knockout)
Germany - 20pts (Group: 2 wins, +1 Knockout, R16 win, QF win)
France - 1pt (Group: 1 draw)

Total Scores:
Player A - 2509
Player B - 2406


Accepting submissions until the first match starts - (expired on 2014-06-12 16:00:00)

If I haven't fucked up anything yet, these are your points, atm:
MTD: 477
BlackPawn14: 456
gamsimbre: 429
Not as if it was a relevant result, but since one sixth of the group stage is over, I figured you might be interested.

This group stage has been a mess.
And I hope it stays like that.

Your current points are: 960, 936, 934, but a more relevant result, imho, is the one calculating without the Brazil-Mexico match (as then every team has played exactly one match):
gamsimbre: 925 (out of 1062)
MTD: 896 (out of 1020)
BlackPawn14: 891 (out of 1101)

(Again, if I haven't fucked up anything.)
