World Cup Predictions

[redfiona99]

Because it's getting close to the World Cup time, and because @Tiberius_Jolly and I were bored, have our entirely unlikely to be accurate World Cup predictions:

Group A

Brazil & Cameroon

Group B

Spain & Chile

Group C

Colombia & Ivory Coast

Group D

England & Uruguay (Don't look at me, I got out-shouted by a maniac who thinks England are likely to go through on goal difference.)

Group E

France & Switzerland

Group F

Argentina & Nigeria (I'm backing Bosnia & Herzogovina as possible dark horses in this group.)

Group G

Germany & Portugal

Group H

Belgium & Russia (this relies on Russia not pulling a Euro 2012 and actually performing as well as they can.)

Then:

Brazil beats Chile

Uruguay beats Colombia

France beats Nigeria

Germany beats Russia

Spain beats Cameroon

England beats Ivory Coast

Argentina beats Switzerland

Portugal beats Belgium

Then:

Brazil beat Uruguay

Germany beats France

Spain beat England

Argentina beat Portugal (unless Ronaldo is Maradona)

Then:

Brazil beat Germany

Argentina/Portugal beats Spain

Then:

A final of Brazil vs either Argentina (oooh) or Portugal

And if Portugal get to final, nevermind winning the thing, we have to actually start asking the Pele, Maradona or Ronaldo question.

Australia got Group of Death this year, so no luck for us. But a Brazil vs Argentina final would be awesome.

I think if Australia pull a Denmark and beat the Netherlands, that is an escapable group. Only that sort of depends on which Holland turn up.

Slightly related - with Australia being out, I wouldn't be surprised if the Aussie ref (and his linesmen) gets at least a quarter final game because he's been having a good tournament.
