So did I, who did you put as a winner? It was between Holland and Argentina for me

 

[The Curr]

Holland won't win it.

 

[Dragon]

Neither will Argentina me thinks

 

[The Curr]

Then why was it between those two?

 

[Dragon]

I don't know, in the end it's what came up and I was too lazy to change it. I suck at these prediction games anyway! I wish I was good because there is one going on at work and the first prize is like $500

 

[Gabriel]

predicting that mexico will win all their games

have you guys actually watched them play besides a couple friendlies? they're awful

 

[Dragon]

They're not that bad but Uruguay will beat them 4 sure

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I think it's just for the group stage.

Good point, I'll change it to a draw with Uruguay.

 

[swag]

Do you guys remember in Austria when Franz Beckenbauer was disguised as Lilian Thuram and Torsten Frings and Arne Friedrich were chopping off peoples' hands while blaring the French National Anthem, and how "lightning strikes" caused the TV signal to go out so that the German team could get the key to the bribe money from the referee so that Franz Beckenbauer disguised as Lilian Thuram could head to the bank so that he could pay off Michel Platini who was disguised as Sami Kuffour to fix the tournament for them?

Those were good times. I expect more of them this June.

The Euro at its finest. It's no wonder why my TV got scrambled when Turkey was playing Germany and folks were waiting for the checks to clear.

England to win WC Wayne Rooney to win top scorrer

 

[Ken]

I find it surprising that the only team you guys think to score against us, of those 3, is bloody Japan.

 

[Bianconero81]

pictures or it never happened

p.s i always wanted to know whats life like for u there bianconero81? i mean is it a nice place to be at or would u rather move some where else?

I love it. Btw, I am in Cairo now I'm here visiting family and talking to clients for the next couple of months. I can tell you all about life in Thailand

 

[Bianconero81]

I predict the following QF line-up:

Brazil
Spain
Italy
England
Holland
Argentina
Germany
Uruguay (They will finish top of their group, face Nigeria in the 2'nd round and eliminate them)
