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.

Day 3 Standings

1 Jake 21
2 Andy 18
3= Tim 17
3= Phil 17
5 Steve 16
6 Stu 14

Angola v Portugal 0-1


Angola v Portugal

Figo et al to surely take 3pts with an easy start to their group....no-one has gone for anything other than a Potugal victory.

Preditions:
Jake 0-2, Stu 0-2, Tim 1-3, Steve 2-4, Andy 0-1, Phil 0-2

Andy gets his first 5 pointer, 4pts for Jake, Stu & Phil. 3 for Tim & Steve.

Had a very pleasant evening with the Rev. Stu & Meriel. (although I just call him Stu). Don't quite know why both Tim & Stu have been up here within a week or so....someone must have told them I was thinking of wearing an England shirt and they were paying their last respects....but it was good to see them nonetheless.

Mexico v Iran 3-1


Mexico v Iran

Predictions for this one:
Jake 2-0, Stu 2-0, Tim 1-1, Steve 3-1, Andy 1-1, Phil 0-0

Was enjoying a beautiful day on the beach in North Berwick and just caught the last 10 minutes of this one.

Steve - maximum points (5) (the first maximum of the competition), Jake & Stu 3pts.
Andy & Tim 1pt each. Phil - a big fat zero.
