    South Africa 1 - Mexico 2

    Mexico is far better and should be not too hard for them as the African side will try perform well...

    France 0 - Uruguay 1

    Diego Forlan will score...

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    10 bonus points for tournament top scorer.
    5 bonus points for predicting at which stage England goes out on penalties.
    5 bonus points for predicting the manner in which, FIFA will help South Africa progress in their final group game. Disallowed goals, penalty awarded or not given, etc. Are you as imaginative as the ref?
    5 bonus points for predicting the manner in which the Dutch will collapse psychologically.
    The Ronaldo game: predict his number of goals. You get ten points in advance. Two points will be deducted for every goal he scores less, or more, than your prediction. Will he be quite as good or as bad as you think he is?
    'Dear oh dear' 3 point bonus: predict a Maradona 'dear oh dear' moment. Telling reporters to XXX his XXX? Cocaine abuse? Red card?

    Quarterfinals.

    5 bonus points for predicting the manner in which, FIFA will help South Africa progress in their final group game.
    Red card and free kick just outside the penalty box for SA, in the 70th minute.

    5 bonus points for predicting the manner in which the Dutch will collapse psychologically.
    Racist infighting.

    The Ronaldo game: predict his number of goals.
    One measly field goal. And one penalty.

    'Dear oh dear' 3 point bonus: predict a Maradona 'dear oh dear' moment.
    A tired and overused Messi will be used in a role that requires him running and working for the team, thereby neutralising the world's most gifted player.

    I am looking forward to another press conference where he ... uhm ... asks journalists for sexual favours.

    Actually I think I would pay money to see the reactions if our coach did a press conference like that...

    Fernando Torres

    They won't; narrow loss against the Netherlands in the semi-finals.

    South Africa won't progress, a World Cup first.

    5 bonus points for predicting the manner in which the Dutch will collapse psychologically.
    The pressure will get to them in the end.

    The Ronaldo game: predict his number of goals.
    Group of Death, potential Ro16 game against Spain... I'd say he'll score two in total.

    'Dear oh dear' 3 point bonus: predict a Maradona 'dear oh dear' moment.
    Maradona goes mental to the cameras, is tested positive for drugs and shipped off home, just like USA '94.
