World Cup Prediction Thread - Group Stage

[Solver]

Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry, these folks are usually named as possible candidates. Myself I certainly don't believe Henry has a chance, because I believe (and hope) France won't get past 1/8.

Ecthy, as a sidenote: Solver also thinks Australia will beat Croatia.

[Solver]

Yeah, I do. Up until very recently, I thought Croatia would be the second team to go from that group, but they don't seem as good to me as some 6 years ago, while the Australians have a nice team, and a good coach.

Winston?

[Winston]

I pretended to be a Martian while making my predictions.

[Ecthy]

CR > Germany, yes?

[Winston]

You can say what you want, but at least the Costa Ricans are less German.

[Victor Galis]

Ok, no one's mocked my prediction that England will win yet... what's wrong?

[Ecthy]

It's such obvious bull**** you've been ignored

[Victor Galis]

Bah, I should have picked Serbia and Montenegro! They're not even a country anymore, but I mean Greece did win Euro2004... wierd things can happen.
