2010 FIFA World Cup

[WhiteBlue]

Spain vs Portugal 0:0 at half time. Spain had a lot more ball possession. I'll stick to my prediction that they will win this.

Edit: 1:0 at 62. minute

Edit: yellow card for Alonso 73. minute

[WhiteBlue]

R.I.P. Portugal

Too little too late.

That ref in the Paraguay/japan match was terrible... and I thought the NBA refs were bad and Biased...FIFA takes it to a whole next level

[andrew]

Can't be as bad as the one in the Ghana v USA game. The anount of free kicks that the USA got for "fouls" that turned out to be dives on the slow mo replay was just a joke. The ref just seemed to be againmst Ghana.

[WhiteBlue]

My next round of wishes/predictions would be:

2 July
Uruguay v Ghana

2 July
Netherlands v Brazil

3 July
Argentina v Germany

3 July
Paraguay v Spain

Semi finals will be:

6 July
Uruguay v Brazil

7 July
Germany v Spain

And the final:

Germany v Brazil

But at this level every game can be a sudden home ticket. So I just keep my fingers crossed.

Argentina is going to stomp on your Germany.

[andrew]

Nevermind wishes and stealing my gimmick!

The actual games will be:

2 July
Uruguay v Ghana

2 July
Netherlands v Brazil

3 July
Argentina v Germany

3 July
Paraguay v Spain.

Semi finals will be:

6 July
Uruguay or Ghana v Netherlands or Brazil

7 July
Argentina or Germany v Paraguay or Spain

My money is on a Brazil v Germany final (and being Scottish, I keep my money on bits of elastic so you know I'm onto a good thing when I place a bet! ). I would be surprised if Argentina beat Germany (sorry Belatti and mx tifosi!) but you never know.

Take it easy on the only Belgian we have in the tournament will you?
Anyways, what was terrible? I didn't see that match.

As for Spain: YES!!
As for Germany: I am not a fan at all, I hope Maradona's guys can knock them out. His press appearances are refreshing.

It can easily happen, or the other way round, which I would prefer.

Refreshing?!!?!?

I would add bizarre

I think he handed out like 6 yellow cards, 5 of which to Japan(Par was clearly the bigger & more aggresive team)... 4 of which were totally uncalled for, missed all types of calls, was totally unaware of anything going on, got in the way several times, the list goes on and on, but it was clear he was biased against Japan, because all his bad calls went against them.

Nothing new, the african teams have allways gotten the worst calls

Argentina could barely manage mexico. No disrespect to mexico cuase they represent the best of concacaf, and always beat my country

I don't think they will stomp Germany. Germany are going to use their under 21 players and humiliate Argentina.
Messi hasn't really done anything and the team doesn't seem to be very strong even against mediocre teams like nigeria.

I'd say germany 4 argentina 2.

Ghana will beat Uruguay on speed and power alone in extra time, like they did the US.

I predict a german brazilian final.

Which players on the argenitina side do you think will be the game changers?
The germans are more physical, taller and carry a lot of speed. Argentia will have keep the ball on the ground since there are no chances they will be heading in any balls on those germans.
They need Messi, and messi doesn't seem to be doing so well. Higuain and tevez are pretty good, but nothing the germans can't strategize against.

A Scotsman being tight? I thought you hated racial stereotyping.

BTW you never responded last time. Were you joking or being serious? As I really couldn't tell.
