Football Season 09-10/2010 World Cup Thread

[Patrick Bateman]

Brilliant last half an hour in the Slovakia-Italy game, and Webb shockingly didn't make a total arse of himself!

His linesman did though. That was never offside.

*edit* GOAL!!!!!

[Pani]

It's astonishing, Asia is in the 1/8 finals, France, Italy are out.

[Patrick Bateman]

Denmark's problem was that they didn't record a World Cup song with Blue Swan.

Now we have ...

Uruguay:South Korea
USA:Ghana
Germany:England
Argentinia:Mexico

Spain:Portugal

Now we have ...

Uruguay:South Korea
USA:Ghana
Germany:England
Argentinia:Mexico
Netherlands:Slowakia
Brasil:Chile
Paraguay:Japan
Spain:Portugal

Prediction time - I think the quarter-finals will then be:

Uruguay v. Ghana
England v. Argentina
Netherlands v. Brazil
Paraguay v. Spain

Semi-Finals:

Uruguay v. Brazil
Argentina v. Spain

Final:

Brazil v. Argentina

So, Japan v. Slovakia it is.

Drico.

[Pani]

Final:

Brazil v. Argentina

That's exactly what I have bet.

I think the Argies will blow it. They remind me so much of the Dutch. They always throw in one crazy performance.

Capello's English is coming on a treat:

Okay, I'm going with Uruguay, USA, Germany (fingers crossed ), and Argentina this weekend.

[Fugitive1979]

Paul, the psychic octopus, predicts German win.

[Patrick Bateman]

Suarez's second goal reminds me of this.....

[Undertaker]

I've hated Ronnie Whelan ever since that.

[Patrick Bateman]

Nice one-two. I think you're confusing it with the previous year's Final though.

[Undertaker]

82 was it? I remember him scoring twice. I was only 7 and already had hate in my face for footballers.

[skyhigh]

ghana will beat the usa.
