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 7 standings

1 Andy 50
2 Jake 49
3 Steve 48
4 Phil 45
5= Tim 42
5= Stu 42

Sweden v Paraguay 1-0


She's on the phone to me.....A Must-win game for both teams if they hope to progress.
No-one has the exact same prediciton:
Jake 2-1, Stu 1-0, Steve 3-1, Phil 3-0, Tim 1-1 & Andy has a win for Parguay 1-2.
Talk about leaving it late! Stu happy with that goal (5pts)- but Tim (1pt) will be cursing a certain Mr Ljungburg....Jake & Steve 3pts. Phil 4pts and Andy 1.

England v Trinidad & Tobago 2-0


I'll be watching this game with Andy, so am expecting some first rate hospitality.
Everyone has an England win:
Andy 2-0, Jake & Tim 3-0, Stu 3-1, Phil & Steve 4-0
Pants! Andy & I did not enjoy this game - we were rubbish. They had better improve as either Germany or Ecuador - neither of whom are exactly brilliant will knock us out.
Pts for everyone - but Andy gets 5, everyone else 4 except Stu who gets 3.

Ecuador v Costa Rica 3-0


A draw or victory for Ecuador will mean that Poland are officially out (Phil will be pleased I cleared that up). An Ecuador victory will mean they will qualify with Germany and will then play to win the Group. Ecuador v Costa Rica

Here are the predictions:
Jake & Stu 1-1, Andy & Phil 1-0, Tim 2-2, Steve 2-4
Blimey! 3-0....Andy & Phil get 4pts - and Andy surges into the lead. Ecuador only need to draw against Germany to win this group. Who would have thought....?
