I'll be interested until after the round of 16... don't see my boys still being there after that but we should get out of our pool with France, bet this is one time they don't surrender. Lets be honest her I'm not a proponent of round ball footy but I understand it better than I used to. I'm an Aussie, if we are in it I'll be an armchair expert. So in my newly, acquired and limited knowledge (hmm anyone any good at engraving on pinheads?) I hereby give you my predictions for those teams making it out of group stages into the round of 16 (or whatever its called in not tennis):
Group A:
1. Uruguay (2)
2. Egypt (-1)
OUT - Russia, Saudi Arabia
Group B:
1. Portugal (1)(and who I'll be cheering for once the Aussies die in the arse) and I think they will win the group, not Spain
2. Spain (1)
Out - Iran & Morocco
Group C
1. France (2)
2. Australia (-1)(we have traveled further than any other team to make it to this world cup finals.... just over 250,000km (155,000miles))
Out:. Denmark (cos I can't not pick my boys) & Peru
Group D :
1. Argentina (even if they only just scraped in)
2. Iceland
Out - Croatia & Nigeria
Group E:
1. Brazil
2. Switzerland
Out - Costa Rica & Serbia
Group F : I can't pick 2/3 and can't find a coin to toss found a coin & tossed it
1. Germany (them or Belgium to win the whole cookie)
2. Mexico
Sweden & South Korea
Group G:
1. Belgium
2. England
Out: Tunisia & Panama (knocked out the USA)
Group H: (hardest one to pick... chuck a dart boys and girls)
1. Japan
2. Columbia
Out: Poland & Senegal
