The 4 teams in each group play each other.  The two teams with the most points (win 3 pts, undecided 1 pt) advance to the next round.  If 2 teams have the same number of points, they look at their goal difference (goals made vs. goals against).  If that is also the same, they look at the result of the game played between the 2 teams.  If they played to an "undecided", then they raffle off the next round.  Sounds unfair, but what else is there - a "drink-off"??  THAT would be cool, though....

So it's 5-3 for every 8 games. So that's 4 times 8 games.\nSo that should make a total of 5x4 win against 3x4 losses, or a 20-12 record.

There are 63 games played over the course of the tournament.\n\n32 in the first round with 64 possible guesses.\n16 in the second round with 64 possible guesses.\n8 in the Sweet-16 round, with 64 possible guesses.\n4 in the Elite-8 round with 64 possible guesses.\n2 in the Semis with 64 possible guesses.\n1 in the Finals, with 64 possible guesses.\nAnd then a Champion, with 64 possible guesses.\nGrand Total of possible picks: 448.\nSo, you have a 1 in 448 chance of randomly guessing all the teams correct.\n\nTo put in in perspective, the winner of the 2005 ESPN tournament got 55 of the 63 correct to win.

If you are referring to the 1:0 (0:0) format, the first set of numbers is the final score and the second set is the half time score.  This was driving me crazy until I found the answer.

There are a total of 63 games to be played (every team will lose exactly once, except the entire winner of the tournament).\n\nIn each game, there are exactly two possible outcomes (given the results of the games leading up to it).\n\nTherefore the number of completely-filled brackets is 2^63, that is 2 to the 63rd power, that is 2*2*2*...*2 (63 times).\n\nThis is an *enormous* number.  To give you an idea, it is 19 decimal digits long.\n\nIn general, if there are n teams, then there are 2^(n-1) ways to fill out the bracket completely.  This formula matches your examply (although, with 2 teams there are actually 2 possibilities).

In http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/regen.pdf , on page 41 it notes the tie-break rules. It seems that in the case of all matches finishing 0-0, (or 1-1, 2-2,... but *not* mixtures of these drawn scores - as goals scored / conceded may then play a part) then the drawing of lots decides the teams goig through, so basically shortest straw wins
