    I prefer Portugal vs the Netherlands. One of the most entertaining World Cup matches I've ever seen.

    Portugal got a few in too, like Deco scything down that Dutchie after they refused to give the ball back, and later a Portuguese defender taking out Robben with a flying kick to the chest.

    Deco's tackle was awesome. He should have broken Sneijder's leg for the scum he was.
    BLARGH!

    Now, predictions...

    I was so close to getting my first three points today, then in the last moment the Kiwis took them from me! At least my tally has doubled from 1 to 2.

    As for tomorrow:

    1 - 2
    2 - 0
    1 - 0
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Zero points but at least I was the only one predicting a goal for North Korea ... Kim Jong Il's gonna love me for that. :D

    Predictions for tomorrow:

    1 - 3

    4 - 0

    0 - 1

    Chileans are the Germans of South America and they played a good qualification. Spain will simply own the Swiss and Uruguay will win over South Africa with a lucky goal after another boring match.

    I'm a Bafana fan, so obviously something there. I favor Spain, but not too much. Not too sure about Honduras or Chile, so I'm favoring a defensive low-scoring game. So be sure to watch that game because it'll be a high-scoring drama if my luck holds.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
