Germany vs. Spain: 2-2 after extension, Spain wins penalty shoot
Holland vs. Uruguay: 2-1

You heard it here first, before the octopussy ... Smiley



But lets see if it turns out this way ...

(I hope that Germany and Spain lose, because in the company where I work I betted on Portugal and nobody betted on Holland and Uruguay to win the World Cup, so I could save 5€).

He's an Austrian. This is football. Your suggestion is completely fantastical.

Ill try this and say Germany-Spain : 4-1 [of course that's more of what I want than what will likely happen. Sad ]

I should revise that too 1-0 i think...

Germany - Uruguay 4-2
Spain - Netherlands 2-1

Which would be just enough goals to surpass 2006 and be only the third lowest scoring tournament ever!

My guess for 1/8 and 1/4 finals :

Uruguay/South Corea (likely) RIGHT
USA/Ghana (likely) WRONG
=> Uruguay/USA (toss-up)


Nederlands/Slovakia (safe) RIGHT
Brazil/Chile (likely) RIGHT
=> Netherland/Brazil (likely)


Argentina/Mexico (lean) RIGHT
Germany/England (likely) RIGHT
=> Argentina/Germany (lean)


Paraguay/Japan (safe) RIGHT
Spain/Portugal (toss-up) RIGHT
=> Paraguay/Spain (likely)


And thus 100% latin semifinals ! Shocked

Well, so I was right for 7 out of 8 matches. Good. Smiley

Now let's go for quarter and semifinals :

Uruguay/Ghana (lean) RIGHT
Netherlands/Brazil (likely) WRONG
=> Uruguay/Brazil (safe)

Argentina/Germany (lean) WRONG
Paraguay/Spain (safe) RIGHT
=> Argentina/Spain (lean)

Now my percentage of succes has decreased to 50%. Sad
However, I'd have prefered to be wrong about Uruguay...

So, Anyways :

Uruguay/Netherlands (lean)
Germany/Spain (likely)
=> Germany/Netherlands (likely)

50% success one again... Sad

For the final, I will predict a Spain win, but I think it will be a tough match.

Tempted to wait for the cephalopod predictions for the remaining games, but that might rightly be deemed cheating at this stage...

Germany 4-1 Uruguay
Netherlands 2-1 Spain
