World Cup prediction game round 3 and 4: Attack of the 60ft Hugh Dallas

WavyDavy’s 4th rounders…

Mexico vs. USA 2 - 0
Brazil vs. Belgium 3 - 0
Japan vs. Turkey 2- 0
Korea vs. Italy 1 - 2

Here comes kabbes

Germany vs. Paraguay 1 - 0
Denmark vs. England 0 - 1
Senegal vs. Sweden 1 - 2
Ireland vs. Spain 0 - 2

Mexico vs. USA 3 - 1 (I’ve been confidently predicting the demise of the US since game 1, so why stop now?)
Brazil vs. Belgium 2 - 1
Japan vs. Turkey 1 - 1
Korea vs. Italy 0 - 2

Saying that, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there were more 0-0s. We’ve reached the dreaded knock-out stages…

beeblebrox,

You can enter your scores, but you’re already 36 points behind the leader. So you can keep track of how you did.

You may still beat Coldfire, who sucks at this game.

I like how ObiWan has more than twice as many points as Coldfire. Can we start calling him “Leicester City”?

Round 4 in the hiz-ouse!

Mexico vs. USA 1-1
Brazil vs. Belgium 2-0
Japan vs. Turkey 1-1
Korea vs. Italy 0-2

And, as a side note, the US and Turkey win in shootouts. I really want to see the US tie. Their best chance is to just let Friedel go one on one.

Mexico vs. USA 3-1
Brazil vs. Belgium 2-4 (C’mon, Red Devils!!)
Japan vs. Turkey 2-1
Korea vs. Italy 0-4

Leicester City, eh? Only if I can call you Fortuna Sittard. :smiley:

Good Lord, they’re worse than us!

For Round 4

Mexico vs. USA 3-1
Brazil vs. Belgium 3-2
Japan vs. Turkey 2-1
Korea vs. Italy 1-1

I didn’t get in on the first couple of rounds… but here you have it…

Germany Vs. Paraguay 2-0
– Germany is for real
Denmark Vs. England 0-1
–England uses its power of lulling the other team to sleep
Sweden vs. Senegal 3-0

Ireland vs. Spain 2-1
–Just when you think Spain is going to win is when they let you down. Irelands fans actually take the field thist ime and literally score the go ahead goal. (I’m convinced this will happen)


Deadline: Monday 17th of June 7.29 am BST
Round 4
Mexico v USA  1-2
--Upset city. US plays better against CONCACAF teams in general
Brazil v Belgium  3-1
Japan v Turkey 3-2
-- Japan is surprisingly talented
Korea v Italy 0-2
-- Italy will be too much for resillient Koreans.

Coldfire:
Belgium 4, Brazil 2 ?!?!?

What have you been smoking over there, and is it legal to bring it back to the U.S. ? :slight_smile:

Mexico vs. USA 2-0
Brazil vs. Belgium 3-1
Japan vs. Turkey 0-1
Korea vs. Italy 1-2

Mexico vs. USA 2-0
Brazil vs. Belgium 3-1
Japan vs. Turkey 2-1
Korea vs. Italy 1-2

Round 4

Mexico vs. USA 2-0
Brazil vs. Belgium 2-1
Japan vs. Turkey 1-1
Korea vs. Italy 0-2

This responsibility for bringing up the tail is onerous. Mind you, with the current atrition rate, a top 10 finish is still possible. :wink:

Mexico vs USA 1 - 2
Brazil vs Belgium 3 - 0
Japan vs Turkey 1 - 2
Korea vs Italy 1 - 4

I know, it’s a stretch. :wink:

But Belgium is like my second home. Grew up four clicks from the border, even lived there for two years. And they ARE a good team! And I want those prissy Brazilians out SO bad! Time for a surprise world champion, says I.

I take it Hugh Dallas is the Premiership’s version of the NBA’s Dick Bavetta? Here is Bill Simmons’ summary of his refereeing career - scroll to “Question: What was the most disturbing subplot of the playoffs?”

Yanks over Brazil for the Cup. If not now, then 2010 or so. We’ll have the rest of you using proper terminology soon enough - it’s soccer, not football; games, not matches; goalies, not keepers; teams, not sides; and dammit, game clocks are supposed to run down and be stopped during timeouts! Screw this extra-time stuff.

Ya know, it is fun being right in the middle of this shit - a free-fire ethnic/nationalistic rant/taunt zone. In the Olympics, one sort of has to observe that sportsmanship and ideals crap, but not in soccer! Where the hell have we Yanks been these last few generations?

Round 3 deadline Saturday 15th June 7.29 am BST

Germany Vs. Paraguay 3-1
Denmark Vs. England 0-1
Sweden vs. Senegal 2-1
Ireland vs. Spain 1-1


Deadline: Monday 17th of June 7.29 am BST

Mexico vs USA                    1-2
Brazil v Belgium                 4-1
Japan v Turkey                   2-0
Korea v Italy                        1-2

I was on a flight for the first two games, that was my guess, but I hope you'll give me a 0 for the first two and let me continue from there.

Round 4

Mexico vs. USA 2-1
Brazil vs. Belgium 3-1
Japan vs. Turkey 2-2
Korea vs. Italy 1-2

Here’s hoping…

Go take a look at my Senegal-Sweden pick. I kick ass! Uh, pay no attention to that England-Denmark pick.

Between you and Beeblebrox, we have two budding psychic friendds. How did you do that?
