World Cup Prediction Thread - Group Stage

[Dauphin]

You can change your guesses, but only before the matches and best to do so in a new post.

2) Holland

Group D:
2) Iran
1) Portugal

I've taken these to mean that you think Sweden, Serbia and Portugal will win the groups respectively. I was just confused as to your ordering system. If I'm incorrect, let me know.

So far we've had championship guesses for Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Brazil and England.

No guesses for France so far, let alone the USA.

That's because neither of them will win. In the end Holland will win, meaning that my prediction is wrong (I stick with it nevertheless).

Bumpitybump.

Yay! England's 6-0 victory in their last friendly makes me feel nice and confident now

Hmm. A Dutchman predicted the Netherlands would win the cup. How come ?

I always want to predict that my country/team wins, that's because I don't want to have mixed feelings during the matches

Exactly Dauphin.
I copy-pasted your first post and just placed numbers to indicate position based on my match result predictions. (I hope I did not mess these up)

I do the exact opposite. I bet against my team, so that when they invariably go out I get some money out of it to ease the pain.

You know, a guy at work predicted the final would be between Cote D'Ivoire and Iran for the contest we had to predict who will play in the final match for a free meal at the cafeteria

Russia could hardly win, considering that this time we won't play at all. Shame on us, we sucked at qualification. crying

I was being ironic, I know that Russia failed to qualify (as did Austria of course, as usual)
