thaibel Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 My predictions for 23-06: Togo - France: 0 - 4 (they know they will have to knock, but with players as Trezeguet, Henry Thierry, Makelele, Barthez, Thuram it's possible. A good mix of experience and players on their top). Switzerland - South-Korea: 2 - 2 (I keep it to a draw to save my QF-prediction . It could also be a win for 1 of the teams with 1 goal of difference?) Saudi Arabia - Spain: 1 - 4 (no comment) Ukraine - Tunisia: 3 - 1 (Ukraine scores easy, but also weak in defense) The results for 23-06: Togo 0-2 France (France did what they had to do, winning the game) Switzerland 2-0 South Korea (Damned Swiss people and then saying they r neutral ) Saudi Arabia 0-1 Spain Ukraine 1-0 Tunisia I got three winners (but not the good score), only Switzerland and South Korea ruined the fun). 24-06 pics: Germany - Sweden ------> 3 - 2 (it will be a thuogh and tight match, Sweden has some really good players like Ibrahimovic, Larsson and Wilhelmsson in the offensive zone. But at the end Germany will win because the advantage of playing at home) Argentina - Mexico 4 - 1 (Argentina will play the final and be the champion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibel Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Okay, Zeusy, u started, the betting abt the 1/8 finals. What's the price? My prognoses the results Germany Sweden 3 - 2 2 - 0 (Germany was playing his best game so far, But can they keep it like that against Argentina, still the best team IMHO) Argentina Mexico 4 - 1 2 - 1 England Ecuador 2 - 0 1 - 0 Portugal Netherlands 1 - 2 1 - 0 (Oranje never made it this WC and why leaving Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the dugout?) Italy Australia 2 - 0 1 - 0 (Italian score, and if necessary the dive for it) Switzerland Ukraine 3 - 1 0 - 0 (0 - 3) Brazil Ghana 4 - 2 3 - 0 (1 nice goal, 1 in offside but very close, but the referee can see that but the linesman) Spain France 3- 1 Stll not played Until now the referees were lousy, although part of them. But my opinion is that FIFA justed overwhelm the referees with a lot of instructions. A good (mostly European referee is used to lead this great matches). Some matches were ruineed by to much interuptions and very wrong decisions made by referees and linesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiaranM Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 didn't post yesterday, but germany and argentina were hot favourites although argentina found it tough going against mexico !! england 2-0 ecuador ... should be a fairly comfortable game for the english ... although i would love to be wrong. potugal 1-2 holland ... this one is really tough to call. could go either way, just feel the dutch have a slightly more potent strike force. italy 1-2 australia ... just hope the aussies will mug the italians swiss 1-2 ukraine another one which could go either way. just think ukraine r starting to get their act together. also loss of senderos could hurt the swiss brazil 3-1 ghana ... again brazil starting to click and ghana missing possibly their best player in eissien. spain 3-2 france .... this could be a classic, spain have looked a class act and france finally started to remember how to play as a team .... another nail biter. so starts to get interesting now, with some big names sure to depart. bring it on !!

frankenburner2 Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 ok..game on...strange one for me...would LOVE to see portugal lose....but unfortunately, I really don't the the netherlands can pull it off..... at the half: hmm...other than scoring a nice goal and hacking away at ankles, portugal didn't do much. Oh yeah...they got a guy sent off for what was really a 3rd cardable offense...the ref didn't see the 2nd one...so he had it coming. And what about robben in the area? nearly had his head taken off with a high foot, but the call went against him? still hoping my prediction of a 2-1 portuguese win is wrong....looking better now! at full time: stunned.

zeusbheld Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 England 3 Ecuador 1Portugal 2 Holland 1( lots of cards!) now THAT'S a prediction. we all shoulda been predicting number of cards, not goals. btw ciaran, funny you should mention the dutch having a more potent strike force--finishing *was* the problem (that, and the match didnt have any flow coz there were more cards tossed about than ... than... well, TF). i don't understand why van basten didn't select klaas jan huntelaar, the leading scorer in the eredivisie, and i dont understand why ruud van nistlerooy rode pine the whole match. i've been taking it on faith that van basten, as an ex-forward, knows what he's doing, but the um... results speak for themselves. in general he managed to build a dutch team that is more coherent and team like and harder working--by throwing out all the divas, which inevitably purged a lot of the more talented players.
