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.

Brazil v France 0-1


I'm hoping France can repeat their feat of '98. We shall see.
Everyone has both France and Brazil in semi's - except Andy.
As Jake & Andy have the same results (and are currently level), Jake will now be supporting the French....
Would you Adam & Eve it....? France have only gone and done it. I didn't see this one (having been talked down from the roof-top after the game before) but gather it was quite good. France deserved their victory - and good luck to them. Can't say I'm sad to see Brazil out either. They win this thing too often. Let someone else have a go (just so long as it's not Portugal).
The main beneficiary of a France win is Jake, as he now holds the lead and Andy cannot beat him (Amdy was the only person not to have them in the semi's - however, Brazil were Stu & Phil's winners.

England v Portugal 0-0 (1-3 on pens)

Here goes....
Nervous?
Jake, Tim, Steve & Andy all have England.
Phil doesn't have either....but I'm sure we're all cheering on the men in white....

The little shit....I feel better now I've got that off my chest (although I think he ought to wary of a certain Mr Rooney's tackles in pre-season....)
In a funny way, I'm relieved it's all over - watching England is so unbearable, that I'd rather pull my own toe-nails off. I can enjoy the rest of the competition in the thought of what might have been had we had a manager who knows anything about football. Sour grapes? You betcha. Taking Walcott was inspired.
No-one had Portugal, so no-one got any points, and Steve & Tim's winners are out - but let's face it on the performances of our other performance we deserved it - but I hope Portugal don't win it....Come on my new best friends...the Germans! (and I never thought I'd sat that....!)
