World Cup 2010 Moves To Bracketville:
Buckle Up, Buttercup

Break out the calendar and the sharpie, and adjust your own personal plans accordingly.

No more ties. Win or go home, and draws get the added fun of 30 minutes of extra times and then the "lottery of the shootout".

In other words, it's about to pick up a notch.
