The tourney will play out on a later date, but those are the seeds and first round match ups. Feel free to vote.

I'm pumped about this. The Italians are the early favorites, but the Mexicans and French are hip picks. If you're looking for an upset, the Vietnamese feels they should be a #3 seed. The English are pissed that they couldn't get Indian food and curry as their own, even though they claim there are more curry restaurants in London than any Indian city.

As for the first round match ups, the 4/5 match up in Group1 should be interesting, Jamaican vs Kosher. The Spanish can’t be happy about having to face former colony Argentina, who should be pumped and looking for the upset. A lot of people think the Koreans can upset the Greeks in Group3, and the Brazilian vs Lebanese match up is fascinating. Both the Turks and Egyptians are not pleased about having to face each other in the first round. The two Arab nations would rather face off against a non-Arab nation, but that just happens to be the luck, or unluck, of the draw.

Wait what’s this!? Oh my, we’ve just received word that the Venezuelans are giving up their place in the competition… and oh my! Unbelievable! Chavez has decided to give up the Venezuelans spot to the Cubans! Change your brackets everyone, it’s now:

(3) Moroccan vs (6) Cubans

This could change everything! Okay people, vote if you’d like!
