Tuesday 8th July 2014 Brazil 1 v 2 Germany 21:00 Wednesday 9th July 2014 Netherlands 1 v 2 Argentina 21:00
I knew you'd pick up on that when i saw yours. I honestly didn't read any comments before i posted my predictions
Brazil 1 Germany 0 Holland 0 Argentina 1 I also should thank HIAG for posting early. To have a chance to win, whatever else I do, I have to pick differently than he does... ...assuming HIAG is a he.
Semi-Final Predictions: Tuesday 8th July 2014 Brazil v Germany 1 - 2 (aet) Wednesday 9th July 2014 Netherlands v Argentina 2 - 1 (aet) These are really tough to call! And it seems strange going for the two European teams bandit rather than the South Americans (). But I have a hunch the Brazilian bubble will burst; and I think Argentina are lucky to be there. (Just like my hunch that it would be a Colombia vs Belgium final, eh?) And I have no time to do a song. Sorry. Under pressure. (hmmm - that might have been worth a try......!!) I'll try to come up with something for the weekend (as my barber used to say).
Tuesday 8th July 2014 Brazil 0 v 0 Germany (Germany win on pens) Wednesday 9th July 2014 Netherlands 1 v 1 Argentina (Argentina win on pens) In the back of the mind, my tinfoil hat is screaming of a controversial 'setting up' of a Brazil v Argentina final.
Told you! But I didn't quite foresee the scale of the explosion/implosion. ps maybe they should have picked Gomes?
I should get 7 bonus points for predicting Germany to win 3-1 as my prediction suggested Germany would win easily and Brazil would score a worthless consolation!
I'm guessing Ian Darke wrongly announcing the Argentina goal which would have made my 1-0 prediction perfect in the 80 somethingth minute will make no impression on the judges either. Spursy.
