The Real World Cup

[honez 79]

i no england will win .

Five words, four mistakes and misspelled your own moniker (or you like standing on doors).

A definite, dyed-in-the-wool England fan.

 

Five mistakes, England won't win.

Not sure about the misspelled moniker, He could be known as Strange Ron - the Door.

Or a misspelled Strange Ron Theodore.

Portugal 2 N Korea 3

Chile 1 Switzerland 0

Spain 3 Honduras 0

 

Wow! 3 out of 30 odd and still the second half of the Spain game to go. What an amazing result for Portugal. 7-0. Who'd a thunk it.

 

Anyway, tomorrows results

 

France 3 S Africa 1

Mexico 1 Uruguay 1

 

Greece 1 Argentina 3

Nigeria 1 S Korea 3

On the other hand, if you had predicted a 1-1 draw for every match so far you would have doubled your hit rate with six. A 1-0 prediction for all or a 0-1 prediction for all would also have bettered your success rate with four each.

[themaninblack 2,112]

South Africa 0-0 France

 

France have the arse and so do South Africa. The most pointless match in World Cup history awaits...

 

Mexico 0-2 Uruguay

 

Uruguay to win the group. They fancy this..

 

Nigeria 3-1 South Korea

Argentina 2-0 Greece

 

Nigeria to make an amazing escape into the second phase.

Argies on cruise control...

Tomorrow's scores

 

Slovenia 2 England 1 (How strange that their goalkeeper is the highest joint top scorer for England in the WC so far)

USA 3 Algeria 1

 

Australia 0 Serbia 2

Ghana 1 Germany 3

I'm taking on board that advice with my next predictions, Godot. Here goes

 

Cameroon 0 Netherlands 1

Denmark 0 Japan 1

 

Paraguay 1 N Zealand 0

Slovakia 0 Italy 1

 

Of course, I now expect the scores to read 1-2, 2-3, 3-1 and 1-2 respectively.

[Paul Bearer 5,714]

My prediction for England is the first two group games boring draws followed by a really crappy perormance sqeaking a win and qualification in the last 10 minutes of the final group game. Then we might actually start playing . . .

Uncanny! Bloody well predicted Deedublya. (Although the last 10 minute bit was slightly out)

It probably fits the USA a little better for the last game, but not too bad if I do say so myself. Now, let's see if my final prediction is fair and we actually start playing better.

1-1 after extra time - and the usual penalty shoot-out failure. Shall we have Heskey and Gerrard muffing the spot kicks?

Who shot Fernando Torres?

 

[honez 79]

An infallible Octopus predicts Germany will beat England. So it has to be true.

[themaninblack 2,112]

Who shot Fernando Torres?

 

 

They probably hauled him off shortly after half time with the sheer embarrassment of it all...

[Terminator 13]

I was disappointed when Torres appeared at the World Cup, looking like Ronaldo. Now it looks like he's playing just like him....

[Paul Bearer 5,714]

Hopefully FIFA will look at the footage of that and other 'incidents' and tear the guilty parties a new arsehole.

Honestly, that was quite ridiculous - the penalty area was at least a couple of yards further on. He can't be happy with that performance!

ps Did anyone else take note when the commentry pundit on the USA v Ghana match said: "Mensah should have been cleverer than that"?

 

It made me smile.

 

DWB

[Paul Bearer 5,714]

Is there a game on today?

 

OK then.

 

Germany 2 England 2 (aet penalties 5-4)

 

Argentina 3 Mexico 1

[themaninblack 2,112]

England to nick it 1-0 and cue the most overwhelming celebrations since VE Day...

 

Argentina to comfortably oust Mexico, and then we get the same jingoistic bollocks all over again...

[Monoclinic 39]

Anyone for cricket?

[Paul Bearer 5,714]

Anyone for cricket?

 

There's already a cricket thread.

[Windsor 2,144]

I really hope England win now.

 

If they lose, we will never hear the end of this unrecognised goal.
