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.

5 Steve 210

Going down to the wire...

Italy v Ukraine 3-0


Italy have arguably the easiest of routes to the semi final.
Ukraine really have gone as far as they should go - and Italy, Like England, Portugal & France haven't really shown much yet. But now is the time to deliver.
The only one of us to have Italy in final 4 is Andy - and in order for him to win this, they must win. No pressure then....
Too easy. Andy a happy man....

Germany v Argentina 1-1 (4-2 on pens)


Tasty....
A lot rides on this game, and that's not just for Argentinians or Germans....
For Tim to win the competition, either England have to win the world cup, or it has to be an England v Germany final.
Looking at the maths again, I now think it's not possible for Phil to win.
We all have Argentina to make it to semi's - except Tim - and he's the only one who has Germany there.
Should be a cracker.
Oh dear. Pants. Good news for Tim (and all the other countries left in it). Tim 7pts. I now he hopes he wins this thing....Jake & Andy's winners & Steve's finalists are OUT.
