World Cup Predictions

[eversince 76]

Me being Dutch I hold no high hopes whatsoever for Holland to qualify for the knock-out stages. Nor does a British mate of mine fancy England doing the same. So we arranged a meeting for 2 days to see both Holland and (the next day) England play what we think is their final match in the groupstage.

Belgium has a great squad, but no experience. And non of their players other than Kompany, Hazard and maybe Courtois hold a main position at their clubs. I do expect them to get in the QF, depending on who they'll meet in the knock-out rounds.

4 favourites imo: Brasil, Argentina, Germany and Spain (in that particular order).

I have a feeling we'll surprise a few teams and lose to Argentina in the semi's. Argentina will go onto win it.

Off to the bookies

 

[Latics Fan SJK]

I've got a feeling Spain wont get out of the group.

A Argentina-Brazil final with Argentina winning will be the ice on the cake

This. Would be a game of epic proportions

 

[CitizenTID]

Suarez to dive and get Gerrard sent off causing a big ruckus in the Liverpool camp would be nice - a la Rooney & Ronaldo

 

[Pokes28]

Brazil to beat Argentina in the finals

No European team in the final 4.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

England to knockout Brazil in the quaters.

 

[Rammyblues]

None of our players pick up any injuries and return to city in one fucking piece. Not really arsed who wins it, won't be England so as long as good footy is played without diving and theatricals just sit back and enjoy, it will help pass the time during close season.

 

[sam-caddick]

England to knockout Brazil in the quaters.

That's my prediction as well.

I think if we beat Italy in the group - which I think we will - then I see us topping the group, Uruguay are not all that bar Suarez and Cavani and Cavani hasn't been great at all for his national team whenever I have seen him, in the Olympics and the Confederations Cup he was bang average.

A resounding moral victory to England over Johnny Foreigner (again)
