If you assume Podolski is a starter he would be a far more obvious pick than Klose, so I'm guessing in more cases than not it's copycatting

2-0 -- case in point

You're a bit weak up front yourselves without the mighty Eduardo.

Dudu

true

but.. we have "Forrest Gump" Olic... who is OK, Petric scored 13 last season in Bundesliga despite of injury for a while, but I was disappointed Bilic did not play Klasnic...

he plays(ed) for Werder, and was one of the top goalscorers in Bundesliga for a few years, but had needed a life saving kidney transplant... came back after a year, 9 months after the (second! first failed) transplant operation, and scored 6 in 12 games, few times only coming off the bench in those too... I have put him as a top scorer... I feel if Bilic lets him play he will replace Eduardo... he has the skill, and I am hoping for some Lance Armstrong effect... today even if he came on later he couldn't have done much, as there was no play... but I hope he can make our front line work again (Petric seems to be out of sorts, according to this Austria game as well)

and Podloski scores again....

Two nil to the teutons. No more goals please.

[Maquiladora]

Another for Podolski

Classy how he hardly celebrates scoring against the country of his birth if that is the reason.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

OK... Poles score one, and I will be happy...

Victor and me still on top, but LordShiva and Cort Haus jump ahead of the rest

Torres is Spanish so he'll be out after 3 games

You just don't understand anything, do you?

For tomorrow then:

Romania vs France 1-1
Netherlands vs Italy 1-2

[Locutus]

As people generally seem favourable of counting Wernazuma's predictions, I'll agree with Victor's proposal that latecomers can still predict the champion and topscorer as long as it's a team that hasn't played its first match yet -- unless there are others who object to that.

I'm personally less of a fan of germanos' proposal (latecomers would have too much info already with the matches already played IMO), but if others want to see that happen do let me know.

I understand both history and probability theory, you should study them sometime

That will change, at least for Victor, after Romania plays
