As stated in the thread for round 3 and 4, I volunteered to start the round 5 thread, so hopefully this isn’t going to be a duplication of what someone else starts. Obviously, I don’t have the up to date standings of our tourney, but I bet Twisty comes along shortly to take care of that. Clarification of the scoring: Much like the last 2 rounds, results at the end of 90 mins plus injury time Round 5 deadline Friday 21st June 2.29 am EST (one minute before the start of USA v. Germany Germany 2- USA 2 Brazil 1 - England 2 Senegal 2 - Turkey 1 Spain 2 - Korea 1 ---

Germany - USA **3 - 1** Brazil - England **1 - 1** Senegal - Turkey **1 - 2** Spain - Korea **2 - 2** Although honestly, I don’t even know why I’m still bothering with the predictions in this world cup. It’s impossible!! ---

Germany 2 - USA 3 Brazil 3 - England 1 Senegal 1 - Turkey 1 Spain 2 - Korea 1 I don’t really believe the first pick, but a Yank’s got to dream, doesn’t he? Also not too certain on the last one, but if we do go through I’d rather face (and lose to Spain) than 67,000 rabid Koreans. ---

Another round, another set of clueless picks by WavyDavy… Germany 2 USA 1 Brazil 1 England 1 Senegal 3 Turkey 1 Spain 2 Korea 1 I do hope I’m wrong, wrong, wrong about the red, white and blue though. Let’s go Yanks!!! ---

Germany v. USA 0-1 Brazil v. England 2-1 Senegal v. Turkey 2-2 (Turkey in PKs) Spain v. Korea 0-2 (Turkey, USA and South Korea in the FINAL FOUR? As I said in another thread: World Cup 2002 - Attack of the Chihuahuas!) 🙂 ---

Germany v USA 1-0 (Seeing as how I keep predicting failure for the US, it’s pretty much my _duty_ to do so again. But dammit - it’s got to turn at _some_ point!) Brazil v England 2-1 ☹ Senegal v Turkey 1-2 (Like I have any clue with this one) Spain v Korea 2-1 pan ---

Brazil 0 - England 2 Germany 1- USA 0 Senegal 1 - Turkey 0 Spain 2 - Korea 2 Go England! And I can’t tell you how glad MrsB is that Korea’s game starts at 11:30 pm local time. She’s getting pretty pissed off at everyone in my neighbourhood yelling real loud at 5:30, then flooding into the streets by 7! ---
