Jake's World Cup Predictor Blog

A World Cup blog for predictions and any other random thoughts that I might have over the next 6 weeks or so. Should be updated with scores, predictions and rants about poor refereeing, lucky Germans and why we can't take penalties.

Jake's final 16 (Argentina to win)

From my Group matches, here's how they'll line up for the last 16.
There are no African teams. Sorry Africa....
I'll put the winners in red:

Germany v Sweden
Argentina v Mexico
England v Poland
Portugal v Holland
Czech Republic v Croatia
France v Spain
Brazil v Italy
Ukraine v Switzerland

Quarter Finalists will line up like this:
Germany v Argentina
Czech Republic v France
England v Portugal
Brazil v Ukraine

Semi Finals:
Argentina v France
England v Brazil

3rd Place: France

Final:
Argentina v Brazil

My head tells me that Brazil will win - they are the best team with the best players, but I think that everyone else will be predicting them to win - so, for once, I'm ging to be different.
Besides, it'll be a bit boring if they won the thing yet again. Give someone else a chance!
Of course I'd love to see England win it - with a bit of luck it's possible - but they are certainly not favourites as we tend to get stage fright as the tournament goes on.
