O/T - World Cup, more predicitons

[Plain Peter]

I'm bored.
Germany will score at least 4 tonight.
Spain might score, but it won't be Villa.
Germany will win, and score at least 4 in the Final.
Van Bommel will get sent-off at last!

Not according to the squid that has correctly predicted every German game result so far.

Spain to win against Germany and Holland to win in the final.

[George Dawes]

i think spain will crack to much pressure on them, there media and the expectation is as bad if not worse than ours

[shrimper]

Okay

Germany to win on penalties tonight (making another of my earlier predictions come true).
Germany to beat Holland in the final - not on penalties.

I'm backing Germany now because any team that can do what they did to our team of world class players must be fantastic. We proved in that game, by scoring two, that we were much better than Argentina, for example (because that's how it works).



Oh - and it's an octopus, you're getting your coleoidea in a twist mate!


Anyway - the last word (for now) goes to my pre-competition 'keep an eye on this guy' subject:

"Germany's Mesut Ozil has ridiculed England for saying they were bored between games in South Africa. Ozil said: "If you find the greatest tournament on earth boring, then you probably shouldn't be there.""

Glen & Peter

You should both give it up!

[ockers]

Well done Paul the Octopus!!!!

top result!!!

[Christies Child]

CC's not happy!

That's £750 I've lost thanks to Spain!

[Plain Peter]

Got part of mine right, and I'm hoping Van Bommel will get the red he deserves.
Can only admire Spain's performance though, and the spirit the match was played in.

[Aspers]

Agreed the bastard Germans lost me a wad tonight.
Well done Spain. I really enjoyed the game, look forward to watching the final in the U.S.

Look out for Ramblings of a lunatic NEW York and L.A. Style

[shrimper]

That's the final I wanted. Didn't think it would happen but happy nonetheless.

[John L]

Viva La Roja!!!

That's the final I wanted. Didn't think it would happen but happy nonetheless.

The final you wanted!!! Were you predicting what you didn't want to happen then

[shrimper]

Yep.

I thought Germany would contain and contain and either hit them on the break or keep them out and then beat them on penalties. And, going into the semis, they were my tip to win it. But I (just slightly - not too bothered) 'wanted' a Spain v Holland final.

[ockers]

dilemma if spain win i win £30 in the sweep im already guaranteed a tenner but would love the dutch to cap a win...a hem.....

[George Dawes]

Yep.

I thought Germany would contain and contain and either hit them on the break or keep them out and then beat them on penalties. And, going into the semis, they were my tip to win it. But I (just slightly - not too bothered) 'wanted' a Spain v Holland final.

i thought the same, and the Germans looked like doing exactly that after a slow start they were just starting to get Spain pinned back, then Puyol unmarked headed in!

[Plain Peter]

... then Puyol unmarked headed in!

Yep. He kept well away from all the 6 yard line crap that goes on, and allowed himself a run at it - excellent goal.
