Welcome to the third-ever HWCI World Cup Pool based on our successful HWCI NCAA pools.  The 2010 World Cup will take place in South Africa from June 11 through July 11.  You will choose the winners of the 48 round-robin games, the 16 teams who will advance to the Round of 16 and the winners of each match after that- 80 choices in all and all before the first game is played!

The pool is open to anyone with ten bucks though FIFA referees should think twice before entering.  Feel free to pass the pool info to your friends and family and/or link to this page.  If you have any questions, email worldcup(at)hwci.com.
