I thought it be cool for people whoa re interested to post their predictions
and then checking how much you got right, you could get points or something

Its just for fun and this is just the plannign thread, i'll mnake the other thread as soon as we establish some rules

for the points:
you get X number of points if your prediction comes true, with increasing increments for each round of play (i.e. you'll get a lot more points for predicting the final right than for predicting a quarter-final)

We could either do predictions for the round that is currently being played, or we could predict the whole chapionship

the first option might be easier for people who don't know the teams as well as others. (im leading towards the first one because the toher might be too complicated)

soo, anyone is interested/got suggestions for this?

Here's my prediction: Brazil wins it.

Hmmm, a spot on match save I think Australia are going to shock the Croats, they put in a tough performance against the Dutch and beat the Greeks in their warm ups and to me look like a good side. I'm not sure if Croatia still cut it these days.

YEah, but Greece didn't even qualify, and Austalia comes from a really bad area, with almost no good national teams, they lack the experience of European or South American teams

You trying to get me lynched or something. If that happens, as an Englishman in Brazil, I am going to have to go into hiding.

It'll only happen in the semis...I got the rounds slightly confused... :D

Group C:
Ivory Coast
Argentina


The one C prediction I agree with. People put waaay too much emphasis on the Dutch. No offence, but to me they are like the Spanish- underachievers.

Yup, and no Bergkamp magic this time either :(

Just Arjen Robben, the miserable, diving, cheating, and hissy fit throwing bastard.:mad:

I still get lynched though.

You really don't like the Chelsea players do you (with the possible exceptions of Terry and Cole it would seem.)

Great. Another Clinton Morrison. :rolleyes: :p

LOL, I was an English man in Germany during Euro '96. The odds were against me the next day, but I lived through the pain and torment.

I was also there for the 5-1 mauling in 2000 :D Revenge is so very sweet. Esp. when a good team conceeds to Emile Heskey.

EDIT: I like a few players, Duff, Cole (both of em), Terry, Lampard, Gudjonson, Huth (although he's moving), Cech, Cudicini. I just hate pretentious bastards who think that every time a touch is made, they go down, but when the ref sees through them and doesn't give the foul, then throw a fit about it. If robben or SWP came near me on a footie pitch and fell over, I would make sure next time I would give them a reason to fall over.

Great. Another Clinton Morrison. :rolleyes: :p

Huh?

*Goes to google - returns*

Clinton Morrison (born May 14, 1979 in Wandsworth, London, U.K.) is an Anglo-Irish footballer of Jamaican & Trinidadian descent who currently plays for Crystal Palace F.C..

Well I am Anglo-Irish (sort of) but I am not of West indian descent, and I would never have sunk so low as to play for Palace. :p

I would never have sunk so low as to play for Palace. :p

The lad couldn't hit a bloody barn door at ten feet.

He's a byword for a sportsman who only plays because they weren't good enough for their first (or second) choices, and then finds a long lost granny... "Oh, look at that. I'm Irish an' all."

A 'hired' Irish footballer.

And he's shit.

OK.

Tomorrows games. Predictions anyone?

Germany 3 - 1 Costa Rica

Poland 4 - 0 Ecuador.

(Without the advantage of playing at nearly 3 miles above sea level, Ecuador are not very good.)

What are you doing in this thread. Norway were eliminated in qualifying, and so was Turkey :p

Germany - Costa Rica 1-0
Poland - Ecuador 2-2

I have the winner of Brazil-USA to win it all

P.s. Canes are sweeping the Oilers

Lol, I'm guessing you're American, the USA aren't going to get out of their group.

Lol, I'm guessing you're American, the USA aren't going to get out of their group.
hell yeah they will. Them and the Czechs. The US is going to surprise those in Europe and S.America

Wait and see man, wait and see.

(They are good. Go look at their team (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2006/teams/ivory_coast/default.stm).)

Do you seriously think they're going to finish above Argentina - Riquelme, Messi, Crespo, Sorin - be serious.

Lol, I'm guessing you're American, the USA aren't going to get out of their group.

Don't be so sure. They might sneak second place given that both Italy and the Czech Rep are badly beaten up at the moment.







It is unlikely though. Most probable finishing position - 4th.

hell yeah they will. Them and the Czechs. The US is going to surprise those in Europe and S.America

Well with the Czechs and Italy in that group I'm guessing that this magical US team isn't the same one that lost to Morocco less than a fortnight ago.

Do you seriously think they're going to finish above Argentina - Riquelme, Messi, Crespo, Sorin - be serious.

I live in BRAZIL.

Suggesting that Argentina might do well is like a Scotsman supporting England. Grounds for an insanity plea.

Argentina? No.

Holland. Yes.

Lol, in that case I wholly accept your predicament.

Argentina? No.

Holland. Yes.

That's a tad more plausible, I just think that the Ivory Coast are one of these bandwagon teams that everyone suddenly thinks are going to take the world by storm without really having any reason to do. If Holland get turned over by these guys it will be one hell of a shock and I can't see it happening to be honest.

Did you look at their results in their warm up matches?

They are a good team. Remember the Cameroons from Italy 90 (I guess not), but they are at least as good.

If you are Brazilian, I now hate you (sorry, just because of alingments and stuff)

True that

I see them coming in third or fourth, depending on how Serbia & Montenegro does

What alignments?

Brazil has never aligned itself with anything other than a good party.

(The football team is vastly overrated at the moment).

Oh, and I am an ex-pat Brit, not Brazilian, but the weather and women are definitely hotter here.

Cameroon have always looked like a good side as far back as I can remember although I wouldn't have remembered them in Italy 90 since I was only 5 at the time. I did have a look at Ivory Coasts performance in the warm ups and have to say that I was distinctly underwhelmed by their draws with Chile and Switzerland. Still, Senegal's performance in the last W.C just sprang to mind and it occurred to me that perhaps I ought to at least see them play before I write them off.

they are a good team indeed, I jsut dont see them at the level of Argentina or Holland

And comparing their win over Cameroon (basing yourself on a game 15 years ago) as a standard, is not very good

It really is one hell of a group though.

I meant my alignments with my nation, and the fact that we're Brazil's arch rivals

and if you're a Brit living in Brazil, well then, the two most rival teams

You misunderstood me.
I was comparing the quality of the current Ivory Coast team to that of the Cameroons team of 16 years ago. Their recent victory over cameroons is irrelevant as you say.

Why does everyone seem to rate Juan Roman Riquelme. Come on people, Barcelona shipped him out and brought in Van Bommel in his place. He is OK over a dead ball, but in open play he is a liability to any team.

Buenos noches Hermano. Te odeio também :p

Sorry, my spanish is very limited.

Argentina? No.

Holland. Yes.

Seriously,
What is your problem with the dutch? Out of all of our warm-up matches, we have yet to lose a match. And I agree that Van Basten line-up might be a little controversial (leaving out makaay, davids and some other prominent players.) But we still have Cocu, Bronckhorst,van Bommel, Van the man, Robben ,(who, although we are not very proud of him after his "performance" in england, is still a fantastic player) and the new arsenal wonder: Van Persie.

I thik we should at least be able to beat Cote d'ivor, though I agree that Argentina might be a little much.



Wait...


Your not german, are you?

I've seen him play twice - once against England in a friendly and once for Sevilla in the champions league Semis. He was average against Arsenal but against England he was utterly phenomenal, he looked like he was going to make something happen every time he got the ball and it seemed like not one of our players were capable of getting near him. By all accounts the guy has trouble with consistency but he can be, and often is, phenomenal. I can't wait to see him in the world cup.

I've seen about a dozen matches where he has played, and to be honest I cannot remember one where he hasn't appeared to think that he is God's gift to football and done jack shit.

The semi final against Arsenal was typical of his performances that I have seen. Maybe he can turn it on once in a while, but that is not enough, you have to perform every week, every match, if you want to be great.

Yes, the man is either excellent, or average
btu hopefully for the cup he'll turn it on, and play well in every match

I will get ostracised for this here, but at least Riquelme is better than Robinho, who struggles to make average.

you wont get any complaints from me on that one

Not wanting to upset you or anything, so if you don't want to answer, don't, but what is your view, as an Argentine, on the 6 - 0 result against Peru in 1978? Was it a fix?

Agreed over here as well.

Don't see a problem with that

I hope Mexico gets violently sodomised by the Iranians, and then riots break out, And Ahaminjad is stuck in it all, surrounded by American Jews....

One can only hope.

Yes, that's exactly what we're all hoping for. :rolleyes:

I always see Robinho as the next version of Denilson. All fancy tricks but no end product, kinda like Joe Cole for West Ham a few years ago :)

Yeah and the rest of us who want a football match go tell you to leave the politics well out of it.

Not wanting to upset you or anything, so if you don't want to answer, don't, but what is your view, as an Argentine, on the 6 - 0 result against Peru in 1978? Was it a fix?

Fix. The dictator of a military Junta visiting a dressing room of a team playing his own country in a game where his own country must win. Which they do. Hmmmm.

Quite frankly, it wasn't anything to do with the Argentinian team, just those in power. Another reason why politics should NEVER interfere with football.

About a fortnight ago the bookies had odds of Peter Crouch to win the golden boot at 40-1. I regret not putting a few quid on.
Nah nah look at Adriano of Brazil.
Hell just sit out front all day and collect rebounds mwhahahahahahahahahahahhahaha
----------------------------------------------------------------
Great Work Franberry:)

Only one game is being played tonight right?
Germany Costa Rica.
Germany 4-1
I'll make predictions for the rest in the morning including top 2 qualifiers etc.

Germany to win in the last minute with an own goal.

Poland to beat Costa Rica with one early goal and two late ones on the counter attack.

Both games will be defensive and will give me time to gets oem shut eye.

I think I read yesterday that the odds of Australia of winning the final were 160-1

worth placing a couple of bucks on I figure :P

it is jsut going crazy over here though... everyone seems to have it in there heads that just cause we are in the world cup for the first time in 25 years we are gonna win it...

We're not going to win it. I'd be happy if we won a game or two & made it out of the group stage.

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Dude, you stand a very very good chance of getting passed the pool matches sure you'll struggle against Brazil but you drew with Neanderthal so you should get some points against Japan and Croatia well Australias honour is at stake, you have a large enough Croat population in Australia that you must win to keep them in their place otherwise there will be riots and vandalism like last year when 2 club teams played each other.
----------------------------------------------------

Poland Ecuador is an interesting match up, New Zealand back in 03 played them and although Poland won we played really crap and Ecuador might show a bit of flair.

My Prediction Poland 2 Ecuador 1
I Had Germany 4-1 4-2 aint bad.:D

Nice prediction

I was rooting for the Costa Ricans (even tho I predicted otherwise :P)

and yeah, Poland seems the most likely to win

My predictions:
England v Paraguay 2:2
T&T v Sweden 0:3
Argentina v Ivory Coast 1:3

By the way, Togo's Coach left (!) over money. Now.

And in other news, it's Okay to be German Again (http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,420558,00.html).

England 2 - 0 Paraguay.
Sweden 3 - 0 T&T
Argentina 3 - 1 Ivory Coast

England 2 - 0 Paraguay
very lopsided match

Sweeden 1 - 1 T&T
suprise draw by the inexpierenced Tobago side

Agrentina 3 - 0 Ivory Coast
complete domination by the south americans

http://www.stuffhistory.com.au/

Hehe. A funny marketing campaign by Nike that they're running here. A nasty old man called "History" doesn't like the Socceroos (he's a Brazil fan).
Particularly have a look at the TV spots in the bar at the top.

I like the training one. :p

England 3 - 0 Paraguay

Sweeden 2 - 0 T&T

Agrentina 0 - 2 Ivory Coast

And Argentina will also have the first player sent off at this World Cup.

USA wins it all.


kthxbia :upyours:

England 3 - 0 Paraguay

Agrentina 0 - 2 Ivory Coast

And Argentina will also have the first player sent off at this World Cup.

Do you have a particular player in mind?

USA wins it all.


kthxbia :upyours:

They were probably just trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security by getting turned over by Morocco a fortnight ago then.

Do you have a particular player in mind?

One of the back four, Drogba will get to them, he is an irritating sob.
Most probably Coloccini.

Today's Games

England 1-1 Paraguay
England fans pay for udnerestimating a good side

T&T 1-2 Sweden
T&T lively but Seeden just too strong for their defence

Agrentina 0 - 1 Ivory Coast

Drogba scores and Toure brothers lead a strong defensive effort.

Groups:

A: Germany and Poland
B: England and Paraguay
C: Holland, Ivory Coast
D: Porugal, Mexico
E: Italy, USA (if scandal affects, Italy then Czech team get second)
F: Brazil, Australia

H: Spain, Ukraine

I predict England 3-1
Sweden 3-0
Argy Bargy 4 -Ivory Coast 0

quietly hums "Three Lions"

Nice prediction

I was rooting for the Costa Ricans (even tho I predicted otherwise :P)

and yeah, Poland seems the most likely to win
Yep Poland proved they are crap and Ecuador showed a 'bit of flair'!:p

E: Italy, USA (if scandal affects, Italy then Czech team get second)

I dont think Cote D'Ivorie is gonna get out of the group after what happened today, then again, they might do a sock win over the Netherlands

You are probably right, but I would like to see someone break the European/South American hold on soccer.

Then again, I'm predicting an all Euro final four.

yeah

Once Africa develops itself, and they have money to put into the players, the rest of us are doomed :(

Nederlands V Serbia Montenegro 3-0.

Mexico V Iran 1-0.

Portugal V Angola 2-1.

I have predictions for who will win every group stage game on my blog. The URL is..

www.leftyhenry.blogspot.com

just in case anyone wants to check it out. The only game I've gotton wrong is Trinidad v. Sweden but who would've guessed the outcome of that??

Holland 3 - 1 S&M

Mexico 2 - 1 Iran

Portugal 2 - 0 Angola

Holland v S&M 1:0
Mexico v Iran 2:3
Portugal v Angola 3:0

But I have managed to guess precisely zero right so far. So don't pay attention to what I'm saying.

Nah nah look at Adriano of Brazil.
Hell just sit out front all day and collect rebounds mwhahahahahahahahahahahhahaha
----------------------------------------------------------------
Great Work Franberry:)

Only one game is being played tonight right?
Germany Costa Rica.
Germany 4-1
I'll make predictions for the rest in the morning including top 2 qualifiers etc.

Maybe, but you won't get odds of 40-1 for Adriano.

Re yesterday's predictions for me:

England - Paraguy: Result - Correct / Score - Incorrect (wrong by 1 goal)
Sweden - T&T: Result - Incorrect / Score - Incorrect (wong by 3 goals)
Argentina - Ivory: Result - Correct / Score - Incorrect (wrong by 1 goal

2 out of 3 and 5 goals out over 3 games - not a bad start.

Here's how I see today's matches:

Holland 2 - 1 Serbia
Mexico 1 - 0 Iran
Angola 0 - 2 Portugal

Holland 2 - 1 S&M

Mexico 2 - 0 Iran

Portugal 2 - 0 Angola: or game stopped due to red cards

Holland 0 - 1 Serbia

Just because I'm in Holland right now, and the taunted me for the game vs. T&T :D

Holland 0 - 1 Serbia

Just because I'm in Holland right now, and the taunted me for the game vs. T&T :D
ahahahhaa *points and laughs* 0-0:D

i say 1-0 for Holland

Nederlands V Serbia Montenegro 3-2

(Note - there is no Serbia Montenegro any more politically - just Serbia and another country called Montenegro )

Australia 2 - Japan 0
:D

Australia 2 - Japan 0
Hmm... I'm picking a 1-1 or 2-2 draw for that one.

All the games tonight=average.

For today's games:

S&M vs. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/joint.gif 1:2

http://www.baja.net/fud/images/smiley_icons/mexicoflag.gif vs. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Nukey.jpg 3:1

Colony vs. Colonist 2:3
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/fussball.jpg

Serbia vs Neanderthals 0-2
Mexico vs Iran 3-0
Angola vs Portugal 1-1

For today's games:

S&M vs. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/joint.gif 1:2

http://www.baja.net/fud/images/smiley_icons/mexicoflag.gif vs. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Nukey.jpg 3:1

Colony vs. Colonist 2:3
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/fussball.jpg

I agree, except for the colony vs colonists. The colony really hasnt got a lot to show for. At all. I reckon that will be a real beating, like 1-4 or 1-5

Nederlands V Serbia Montenegro 3-2

(Note - there is no Serbia Montenegro any more politically - just Serbia and another country called Montenegro )

Australia 2 - Japan 0
:D

There's only 3 games that matter to me at the moment
Australia vs Japan
Australia vs Brazil
Australia vs Croatia

One's rather tough ... :D

Maybe, but you won't get odds of 40-1 for Adriano.
Perhaps but Couch will get 2 goals if he is lucky where as Adriano will get at least 4 which aint much but might be enough.
Klose is looking good and Roberto Carlos might go crazy.

Are you doing virtual football (http://www.tvnzvirtualfootball.co.nz/)?
Nah i didn't even know it was going on until half time of Germany vs Costa Rica.
Are you doing it?
I'll have a look and if it is still open i'll kick some butt.
I am doing Yahoo's Fantasy Football.
I had that German chap who got the last goal Fring or whatever and also Ulyssys of Ecuador who had a mighty game on defence.

Just a reminder about the 1998 World Cup:

Quarter Finals, Yugoslavia (aka S&M) vs Netherlands: 1-6

:D :D :D :D


EDIT: Not actually true, this is (sure, Yoda)

WC98: 2-1
EC00: 6-1

sorry....:(

I reckon that we might be in for a surprise - after all, the two underdogs we've seen so far have played their games rather unexpectedly good! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/fussball.jpg

Yeah Davids was so inspirational in all their games, the way he wore his glasse you just knew they would do well.:p

Group A - Ecuador, Germany (the German defence is so BAD they're not going to win the group, even against comparitively week opposition [look at the group the USA got lumbered with])
Group B - England, Sweden
Group C - Argentina, Netherlands
Group D - Portugal, Mexico
Group E - Italy, Czech Republic
Group F - Brazil, Japan
Group G - France, South Korea
Group H - Ukraine, Tunisia

The German result has been all over the place (3:1 that is) and I've made that prediction last week even before the cup started.

I sure hope for the best. Hope y'all can enjoy the games!

Spain 4-0 Ukraine (running score)

Tunisia 2-1 Saudia Arabia
Germany 4-1 Poland

Tunisia 0 - 2 Saudi Arabia (just to be different)
Germany 2 - 0 Poland. (Poland have to play better than the last time out)

Judging by my luck with the Spain-Ukraine game... make that... Germany 0-7 Poland.

England 2 - 0 Trinadad & Tobago
the loss of Avery John is felt as the newcomers get stung by the vets

Coast Rica 2 - 1 Ecuador
A close match that is decided by a late miscue by the Ecuador back line

Sweeden 1 - 0 Paraguay
The Swedes prove that the draw with T&T was just a fluke with an early goal and play ironhide defence afterwards

Sweden 1 - 1 Paraguay

Ecuador 2 - 1 Costa Rica

England 2 - 0 T&T

I hope the English get into gear, I want to see them score some goals. Plus, they'll need to hit some good form if they're going to win the office sweep for me. :)

Costa Rica v Ecuador -Both teams fall ill with Syphilis and Ring worms nil all.
Swedeland v Paraguay- Sweden suffers an Iron deficincy for giving too much to Germany in World War Two where as Hitler comes out of hiding to play for Paraguay scoring two goals and setting up Chilavert for 3 making Chilavert the first goalie to score a World Cup Goal even more amazing is Chilavert now weighs 344 Kilograms but has reduced the number of swear words he says from 5 per sentence to 2.
Final score 6-0 Paraguay

Does Chilavert still do the scorpion kick though?
I don't know, he ain't in the squad and he was pretty fat at the last world cup.
He was awesome in '98 geting the boys so far and in Japan/South Korea the lost to Germany 1-0 in the Quarters if i remember correctly but it might have been the 2nd round.

Well, how are your predictions going?

So far I have correctly picked Group A (Germany, Ecuador) and Group B (England, Sweden). The other groups seem mostly on track, except it looks like I missed out by going with the Ivory Coast (Group C), the U.S. (Group E - sentimental pick), Croatia (Group F) and Ukraine (Group H) to pick up the second spot in their groups.

I messed up with Poland, but meh.

As to the others, The Ivory Coast will still finish second in their group, but I messed up by picking Holland not Argentina to win it.

Croatia and Ukraine will both finish second. They have played and lost to the teams that will finish first in each case.

Tonight, I reckon it will be:

Argentina 2 - 0 Serbia & Montenegro

Netherlands 3 - 1 Cote d'Ivoire

Mexico 2 - 0 Angola

Tonight, I reckon it will be:

Argentina 2 - 0 Serbia & Montenegro

Netherlands 3 - 1 Cote d'Ivoire

Mexico 2 - 0 Angola
I won't disagree with you.
Before Serbia's loss they hadn't lost in there last 4 games (3 wins) i think and only allowed 1 goal in qualifying.:eek:
But Fred Dejong is a Dutchie so he canna be trusted.

Today's predictions are:

Argentina vs. Serbia-Montenegro 3:0

Netherlands vs. Côte d'Ivoire 2:1

Mexico vs. Angola 3:1

I think tonight's results will be:

Portugal 2 - 0 Iran

Czech Rebulic 1 - 1 Ghana

Uhm, that was aimed at the lame game yesterday afternoon - after you predicted a borefest I told the players to get their act together and play football.

The other stuff was meant to be for those who had asked for World Cup songs and I figured they might drop in and take a look at that during halftime.

That's all, carry on ;)

I'd laugh if France lost.

Costa Rica vs. Polen 1:1
Paraguay vs. Trinidad & Tobago 1:1
Sweden vs. England 1:1

I love Paraguay too bits as an underdog team but they needed the Chilavert, he was the only reason(Apart from Spain sucking in '98 and Nelson Cuevas coming off the bench against Slovakia when Paraguay were a man down to score a double??? in '02) that Paraguay made the last two 2nd rounds.

I reckon the results of tonight's games will be:

Angola 1-0 Iran

Portugal 2-2 Mexico

Cote d'Ivoire 3-1 Serbia Montenegro

Argentina 2-1 Holland

Angola 2-1 Iran
Portugal 3-2 Mexico
Cote d'Ivoire 2-1 Serbia Montenegro
Argentina 2-0 Netherlands

Lots of goals :)

Angola 1-2 Iran
Portugal 3-1 Mexico
Cote d'Ivoire 2-0 Serbia Montenegro
Argentina 2-1 Netherlands

I think Holland is beating Argentina today.

For tonight's matches I think it will be:

Italy 1-1 Czech Rebublic

Ghana 2-1 USA

Croatia 1-2 Australia (Go Socceroos, you can do it!) :)

Japan 0-2 Brazil

I think Holland is beating Argentina today.
I tihnk you are off your rocker!

I drew Greece in the Euro 2004 Office Sweepstake and was roundly mocked for having the worst team. I laughed when I pocketed the £30 pot.

I have drawn Switzerland this year. And I was roundly mocked as having a team that could never qualify. I am waiting for my cash!
