Hey guys, I'm pretty new to keeping up with soccer so I'm not very familiar with the lesser known teams. I'm filling out a bracket for my office, and was hoping to get some help with 2 of the first round games: Columbia vs Uruguay and Costa Rica vs Greece. I was inclined to pick Uruguay before I realized they just lost Suarez. I'm thinking of going with Columbia and Costa Rica now. Are these pretty safe bets? Also who's y'alls pick to win it all?

Suarez may play if they appeal. At least that's the last I heard

I would pick Colombia regardless. Costa Rica is maybe the favorite I guess.

I believe FIFA stated his suspension holds even in the event of an appeal.

Suarez can only appeal the fine

What are y'alls top 3, in order, most likely upsets in the first round? When I say upset, I mean a 2 seed over a 1.

1. USA over Belgium
2. Chile over Brazil
3. Greece over Costa Rica

Those are the most likely, but I think Costa Rica beats Greece and Brazil probably beats Chile.

Thanks! Chile worries me as I have Brazil winning it all.
