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... |

ahh no love eh?
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. |

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! |
