The9 Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 Come on, we've all got quirky ideas of what might happen, get them down here for maximum glory or utter humiliation. Doesn't matter if it's group winners, score predictions, outsiders you think will make the semis or what. Put them here, or save the "I told you so"s for off the board. I'll start : South Africa and Mexico to qualify from Group A Holland to reach the semi finals (Denmark might beat them in the group though) No goalscorer in North Korea v Portugal on June 21 Ghana won't score more than 1 goal in the tournament USA and England will BOTH make the QF (and maybe further).

ChrisPY Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 USA to knock out the Germans. The group of death to be decided by a nice draw seeing brazil and Portugal both get the point they need but neither team to get past the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 8 June, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 June, 2010 Paraguay to make at least the Quarters. Not a bad shout given the crappy group they're in, but they'll have to beat one of Italy (to win the group) then most likely Denmark or Holland to do so...

toofarnorth Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 England not to get through the group. Shock loss to USA, then win their second game only to concede a 90th minute penalty in the 3rd to see us go out on goal difference. Uruguay will be the suprise package making it all the way to the semis, with Diego Forlan winning the Golden Boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 Netherlands not to get out of their group, New Zealand to get out of theirs.

SNSUN Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 England will win their group, play Serbia in the Last 16, win that, play France in the quarter finals, win that, and lose to Brazil in the semi finals. Final will be Brazil vs Argentina, Argentina will win. Suprise team of the tournament will be Japan, losing to Spain in the quarter finals. Biggest team to go out in the group stages - Portugal.

Andy_Porter Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 I think Italy will go out in the first knock round, they only reason they will get that far is the easy group. Mexico will be the shock team of the tournament. South Africa will be the first world cup where a host nation hasn't made it past the group stage.

Joensuu Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 England to be sent packing on Sunday 27th, after losing to Germany. New Zealand to come second in their group F, but get knocked out by Holland in an embarrassingly close game. Spain not to conceed until the Semi Finals.

I make my suggestions and you shoot them down just because i say Lampard (The highest scoring midfielder in premier league history) could possibly be the top scorer in the world cup.

Barney Trubble Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 1) Lampard to be top goalscorer 2) France won't qualify from group stages 3) There will be an African team reach at least the semi-final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 USA are just a hard working and fit side not anything special. They will probably finish second in our group and then lose to Germany. The Germans will probably contrive to finish second in their group, to get an easier path to the Final. So they'll probably meet us in the round of 16. Prediction: They beat us on penalties (3-0, three England penalties missed/saved), and I throw my TV out of the window. Holland beats Argentina in the Final. I buy a new TV.

saintkiptanui Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 Germany or Italy to make final, Klose to be top scorer, England to go out in quarters again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 June, 2010 Share Posted 8 June, 2010 Can't believe anyone will put money on Italy to do anything, they are an ageing squad that lacks any world class goalscorers, Pirlo is the only man that makes them tick and will be man marked throughout, fact is, if it wasn't for an easy group i would say they would crash out at the group stages. Germany a good shout though, not only hardworking as usual but have a touch of class these days, though i think Villa will be on fire and perhaps Podolski to be top goal scorer for ze germanz. As for fat frank, he is the top goalscorer in premier league history etc etc but the fact is Chelski build a team around him, with two defensive midfielders and a big man upfront. England don't. I have got a bet on Nilmar being in the top 4 goalscorers at 10-1, slapped a tenner on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I detected a look in the players eyes at the end tonight that tells me that for once they want it as much as the fans. COME ON ENGLAND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
