World Cup 2010 - Group C
FIFA's World Cup, the premier international soccer tournament, will be played this summer from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa. This is only the end of a very long and intricate series of qualifying matches that have taken over 3 years and included more than 200 squads representing countries from around the world. 32 teams have advanced to this stage and will compete in a round robin (Group) stage and with the top 16 advancing to the knockout stage to determine the champion. It is one of the most anticipated sporting events and will also be the most watched televised sporting event in history with over a billion viewers expected to tune in.
So we'll a have a little competition of our own.
Group Stage:
This cache is one in a series of eight representing the eight groups of the round robin tournament phase. You can find them in any order you like. If you wish to be part of the competition, when logging your find include in your log the two (2) teams you think will acquire enough points to advance out of the group phase.
After the last group game June 25, I will tabulate the results and the top 16 cachers with the most correct picks will move on to the championship phase. In the event of a tie between 2 or more cachers, the earliest date of finding the last of the eight group caches will be the tiebreaker. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a random draw.
Championship Phase:
Shortly after the last group stage match, June 25, the top 16 cachers from the group stage will recieve (via email) advance notification of the placing of the final cache. The race will be on.
World Cup Champion FTF - Certificate and Commemorative World Cup ball.

Sorry, no FTF for the group stage caches.
When logging your find, include the top 2 teams from this group you think will advance to the knockout stages:
Group C
England
USA
Algeria
Slovenia
Please be aware that these are very high muggle activity areas. It may be best not to attempt some of them during weekday evenings or weekend days.
If there is a match being played, stop and watch for a bit. You may see some very good quality soccer.
Bring your own pencil.
