World Cup (football/soccer) predictions thread!

Let's make a little competition out of predicting the match results! 2 points for exactly correct prediction, and 1 point for predicting winner correctly (or predicting tie if it was a tie) and number of goals is off by less than 3. Most points at the end of the World Cup wins!

Here's the match schedule: http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/calendar.html I'll make a new post every time new games are available to predict, usually I'll put them up two days before the match is played (but first day's games I've put up already now).

Games you can predict outcome for at this time (will be played Friday 9th of June):
:germany: - :costarica:
:poland: - :ecuador:

You may edit the predictions as many times as you like until the moment the match starts, but not after that ~:)

My predictions are:
:germany: 3 - :costarica: 1
:poland: 1 - :ecuador: 1

:germany: 2 - 0 :costarica:

:poland: 0 - 1 :ecuador:

:germany: 2 - 1 :thailand:

:poland: 0 - 0 :ecuador:

:germany: - :costarica: 1 - 0

:poland: - :ecuador: 1 - 0

So weve already won?

:germany: 3 - 1 :costarica:

:poland: 2 - 0 :ecuador:

2 - 1 Germany
0 - 0

Two ideas:
- I probably opened this thread to early. World Cup doesn't begin until the second next Friday!
- Maybe mods could make this thread sticky during World Cup if it gets popular?

There is no way the czech-us game will be a 2-3 game i think it is going to be a 1-0 game. Both teams have amazingly dominant goalies.

If you look at the time Shaka_Khan posted you will see that the U.S. game was already almost over. The U.S. game started at 11:00 A.M. U.S. central time. Shaka posted at 12:56 P.M, I dont think it would take too much skill to watch the game.

Awesome Archer, I have a meeting I can't refuse. :smoking:
