Would it even be worth it to join this thing? I've played fantasy sports before, but I'd have to know players and rankings and stuff, and I don't know anything. Should I just pick random people and learn through it, or would that bring the game down?

you can easily just pick random players and learn through it..
world cup official site
http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/
fantasy game site
http://en.fifaworldcup.fantasysports.yahoo.com/
the bbc has a decent site on the world cup too:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...06/default.stm
(just try to ignore the many articles stating "football legend/coach/pundit x says england's going to bring home the trophy")
but they have team guides and headline news for every team comprehensively on one page
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/foot...ms/default.stm
and even info on general football rules
