The Teams for the Tournament

By: Dave Martinez | March 3rd, 2008

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have 32 teams! Now comes the hard part.

I will be taking the better of 2-3 days (as necessary) to touch base with EVERYONE, and arrange a set, convinient time for everyone to be on. This is 32 INDIVIDUALS we are talking about so its no easy task.

Once we do, we will give you all the passcodes for the seperate leagues (group stage). There will be groups of 4, A through H, and the top two from each division will advance. The twist to the first round? Unlike World Cup, YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY EACH TEAM TWICE. Thats a total of 6 games for round 1.

RULES and FURTHER Regulations will be coming out shortly.

Here is the up to date list.

    I just did the group stage draw . . . and it came out with two insane groups of death. Being a geek, I videoed the thing so NO ONE thinks it was rigged. Ill post that later today or tommorrow.

    For now, I am working on a Red Bulls piece. So stay tuned.

    very nice, very nice. i guess i should pick up my fifa 08 and start training.

    besides, it’s always nice when people choose the mid-level teams rather than relying on the bigs. nothing brings me more joy then when i take out a barca or a chelsea! (ok, well, there probably are other things…)

    are we in one of the so called groups of death?

    Oh hell no. We are NOT group of death. But some of the OTHER writer here in the offside have a STEEP mountain to climb if ya catch my drift. lol.

    And I have to get into training myself. Ive been losing in ways I couldnt even imagine.

    I’m my own group of death – my own death that is.

    Ack! I just put two and two together – I’m headed out of town (and away from the 360) for a week this Saturday. If that hoses everything up, just cut me out now Dave. Silly trips…
