THE WORLD CUP!!!
- Thread starter ECG
- Start date
So much for the mysterious North Koreans. I guess that game against Brazil was a total fluke. I knew I should have picked Portugal to win by a landslide, but this has been a strange World Cup when it comes to heavy favorites.
At least I got both of the other games right on the money. All of the South American teams are really playing great (except maybe Uruguay) & a pleasure to watch. I guess playing in South Africa isn't as big of an adjustment for them as it is for the Europeans.
Today's a day I've been looking forward to, as it will be time to say goodbye & good riddance to France!
My predictions:
Mexico 0, Uruguay 0
South Africa 1, France 2
Argentina 3, Greece 0
S. Korea 1, Nigeria 1

Never would have predicted them to win if I'd known that Domenech would drop 5 starters.
Too bad the hosts couldn't knock in a couple more, but I think South Africa did better than a lot of people expected them to do.
The Uruguay goal came totally against the run of play, but what a beauty.
Congrats to South Korea for hanging in there even if it was more of a matter of Nigeria blowing it. Still can't believe Yakubu missed that shot in front of a wide open goal.
Predictions:
USA 2, Algeria 1
England 2, Slovenia 1
Germany 2, Ghana 1
Serbia 2, Australia 0
Hopefully in 2 hours time, the World Cup will be over for England.
Then we just have to wait for poncy & poofy Wimbledon to pass and then we can have an enjoyable sport free summer.
My predictions:
USA 1, Algeria Zero
England 0, Slovenia 1
Germany 2, Ghana 0
Serbia 14, Australia 2

Congrats England. A well deserved victory!
I can't believe the grit & determination the USA showed today!
The Algerians played for a stalemate, something I will never understand as they had a chance to advance with a win, but the USA kept pushing forward. The game would have been so different if Dempsey's early goal would not have been disallowed. He was clearly onside & the ref got another one wrong. But the team never gave up in spite of all the close calls & they were rewarded 2 minutes into injury time with that fantastic strike by Donovan. What a team! What a game! USA through to the round of 16 - top of the group!
Can't wait for the Germany game to start to see who both teams play next. I really hope Germany win & we get another classic England-Germany encounter on Sunday.
