2014 World Cup Bracket

The World Cup will settle who has the greatest soccer team in the world this summer, but we wanted to poll our readers to ask a tougher question: Which World Cup country has the greatest soccer jersey?

After Day 1, it’s clear you guys are big fans of tradition and success, and you are also hugely patriotic homers. Gone are the flashy Cameroons, Croatias and Ivory Coasts of the tournament, beaten out by classic, bold jerseys of the world’s best teams. The biggest upset came from the United States, who knocked off Argentina. Yes: Argentina, whose blue and white stripes are only just about the most iconic soccer jersey in the world.

Oh, well. U-S-A! U-S-A! Voting for Day 2 opens now and will be open until tomorrow, Wednesday, at noon. Make your voice heard!

I entered my preliminary picks into a bracket where I have Brazil taking the win on their home soil by getting the win over upstart Belgium in the Finals. I’ll probably enter another take or two since you can have up to three brackets in our group.
