The unofficial World Cup Thread,

Come on, Slowakia, make that second goal!

Why oh why did I predict 0-2, when all the sane people here have understood this tournament is all about 0-1, and predicted as such!?

Edit: it's johnhughthom's game. As far as I'm concerned, predictions can be made until one minute to kick-off, so long as one does not make a complete circus of it - bear in mind the host must keep track.

I guess that point is moot now...

Ooh! Well done All-Whites!!

Serves the Slovaks right for not pushing for that second goal. This is what the tournament needs, some cool team brutally punishing a team for boring the world with another 1-0.

I proclaim NZ the Supreme Ruler of all the Pacific, the Kiwis the superior master race in Oceania (that includes Oceanic countries playing in Asian qualification matches).

New Zealanders with a last minute goal. Don't think anyone predicted that result.

Ok, I'm torn. Portugal has kept 15 clean sheets in the last 20. But, Dogbreath is playing. Yet, Portugal score on average 1.5 goals a game and concede 0.5 a goal. And Ivory Coast score almost 2 goals a game and concede 1. So. I think I'll throw all that data out the window. And go with:

Revision:

Ivory Coast

1 - 1

Portugal

there are things the stats don´t show....the Portuguese team might have won the last few games...but they were generally bad performances....
I say we don´t win today...and given a first game slip up we might even lose.....

i´m sticking to my initial gut feeling....2-1 Ivory Coast
