World Cup Predictions

[Thordic]

I havn't gotten a prediction wrong so far, but I figure I'll go on record here and predict the rest of the tournament.

Brazil over Ghana.
Spain over France.

Germany over Argentina.
Italy over Ukraine.
Portugal over England.
Brazil over Spain.

Germany over Italy.
Brazil over Portugal.

Brazil over Germany to win another World Cup.

We'll see how these pan out. So far I've guessed the winner in almost all the matches.

[Thordic]

Brazil up 2-0 at the half.

What amazes me is Brazil doesn't even have to play well to dominate a game. Its like watching the NY Yankees play the Bad News Bears sometimes with them.

[Muzikman]

My prediction? The US is going to get their butts whooped. Oh, wait, that already happened...never mind.

You should be a very rich man then afterall the bookies would have given you fantastic odds for predictions to this stage.

Stats say Portugal will lose against England...scoreline will be either 1-0 for England or a total collapse and 2-0 to Portugal.

I predict that Soccer will catch on in the USA at the same time the Metric system catches on...

[magman007]

In order, im rooting for Ukraine, England, and Germany... its what ive got lineage in

Seeing as chile wasnt even good enough to make it to the world cup, ive had to fall back on my reserve teams

Just cause Italy was a full half of our offensive production for the entire tournament

Not enough padding in soccer for americans plus unless you get subbed you have to play for the entire 90 mins

[Thordic]

Mark, most bookies also use goal differential, so picking a winner isn't always enough.

ANd of course, as soon as I start gambling, my teams will start losing

There were a few surprises but most of my picks made it through to this round.

[Thordic]

Well I blew one prediction Looks like France is gonna eliminate Spain.

Sets up Brazil for a revenge match against France though.

I know what you mean I can pick winners in a horse race or at the very least a place but if I put money on...pennies not real money I always lose

I would have got quite good odds on England reaching the quarter finals but personally I am amazed they have got this far as is usual with England they build all the hopes on a single person, this time it was Rooney last time it was Owen, well Owen is out and Rooney is most of the time average and far from match fit, Joe Cole is awesome but you can't rely on individuals. Hence Brazil doing as well as they are, they play as a team sure they have some stars but that is just icing on the cake and if Ronaldo was fully fit the score lines would have read a lot different as he would have got the World Cup goals record before the group stage was over.

I disagree, Brazil did not play very well. Ghana by all means out-played but unfortunitly they weren't able to finish anything. Brazil's second goal was off sides too, Brazil got really lucky on this one. My Predictions is Brazil over France, Portugal over England, Argentina over Germany, Italy over Ukraine. Then Portugal over Brazil and Argentina over Italy. For the final I'm taking Portugal over Argentina, though my prediction is very biased. I'll be in Portugal for the semis and the final so I really hope Portugal makes it that far because it would be amazing to be in Portugal for all the celebrating.

Uhm, no, I hate basketball. What does that have to do with anything?

As for Brazil, one of their goals may have been offsides, but early in the game Ronaldo was called offsides when he was onsides, so it all balances out. And my point is Brazil playing badly can still beat a team 3-0. Today Ghana played well, Brazil didn't, and look at the scoreboard. If this happened once in a while, it'd be a coincidence. But Brazil has not played very well all tournament and they havn't lost a game.
