Here’s the thing: since the end of the first round, I’ve been tipping Germany to win. And yet now at the crunch, I disagree with myself. Here’s another thing: **Obi-Wan** has stolen my scorelines _again_. I decided them this morning, looked at this thread and bam! Well we haven’t seen a league table in so long, I might be ahead anyway for all I know. So I’m going with: **Brazil 2 - 0 Germany** but to make it more interesting: **South Korea 2 - 1 Turkey**. I’m not sure we should even bother with the 3rd/4th play-off, mind you. It’s notoriously unpredictable, generally with one team desperate to win and the other not giving a toss. It could just as well be 0-4. pan ---

Brazil v. Germany 1-0 (“Pentacampeão!” Is already being shouted at me by my Brazilian Internet friends, whenever I log on to my instant messenger. 🙂 That means “5-time champions”) S. Korea v. Turkey 3-1 ---
