Hmm couldn't possibly predict but I know that I prefer Argentina to win as they can be inconsistent which might (one earnestly hopes) be useful later down the track... Very Happy

ahh no love eh? Wink

Well, well, it should be a sweet match!

I do think overall Argentina is a much better team, but when you throw in home advantage it could make things a little tougher!

We shall see on saturday wont we!

Damn I have to pick all four??

Germany, Italy, Brazil, England
Brazil over Germany in the finals.

What nobody's going to pick France? C'mon, Brazil did give up a goal in one of their games. Laughing

Dont write off England just yet. They are due a win over portugal. If they beat them and end up in the semi-finals, they could go all the way.

Fingers crossed for a England Vs Germany final. Now that would be something!
