    I'm not a soccer fan, but I do like having a reason to care about a sporting event. Therefore, I am gauging interest in a BIF involving the World Cup. I realize it's a little early, but just seeing what the interest is.

    It would be similar to NCAA tournaments where you pick the winners of each group and each game.

    Post if you are interested. If we get enough support, I'll set it up.

    As an update, @grze and I will work together to put on the best World Cup BIF BA has ever seen*. We hope to have something figured out and up within a week or so. There is clearly enough interest so it is happening. Stay tuned for updates. World Cup kicks off on my birthday, June 12.


    * Assuming no other World Cup BIFs have taken place.

    I hate to piggy back this brilliant idea, but I'm thinking about doing a fantasy EPL soccer league through ESPN next season. Would anyone be on board for that?

    Like OP, I'm not a big soccer fan, but I'm down for yelling at my tv while I watch myself give away beer.

    Feel free to piggy back. I unfortunately don't know anything about soccer...so I don't think I'd bring much value. The World Cup is my limit, just looking for a reason to root for games like Uruguay and Ivory Coast.
