Uruguay have looked a very decent team so far. I'd like to see Ghana beat them and get to the semis but I think Uruguay will win. I'm pretty bummed about missing Holland vs Brazil tomorrow as it is the afternoon kick-off but hopefully the Dutch can do it. Spain should beat Paraguay. Argentina vs Germany is a tough one to pick. I think Argentina might just have a little bit too much for the Germans. I'm predicting the semi-finals to be: Argentina vs Uruguay Spain vs Brazil With the final being Argentina vs Brazil. I think you fucked up your wallchart somewhere, MasterSnit. Your semi-final prediction was impossible the way the bracket was set up. Anyway, obviously TNA was booking the Uruguay vs Ghana game. I can't remember a knockout game ending like that before. It will also be amusing if after having 5 teams in the knockout stage, Uruguay are the only South American team to make the semi-final.

Well, that was the most fun I've ever had watching Germany play football.

Yeah, I was watching a game the other night and thought, "wait a second...". Argentina and Brazil weren't going any further regardless of which side of the draw they were on anyway. I'm glad the Dutch won. They are a decent team (they beat Scotland twice in qualifying so they must be good!) plus there were a few things about Brazil I didn't like. Particularly Lucio, their captain and centre-back. He's like the Drogba of defenders in that he'll hit the deck like a tonne of bricks if an opposing players so much as blinks at him. I've no time for that shit.
Argentina got whipped. Even though they were shaky at the back I thought they would get the better of the Germans. Germany have looked the best team so far (although I've not seen too much of the Dutch) and I, for one, won't be complaining if they win the tournament.
U-R-Gay. 3 time World Champions. It can happen. I had to laugh at Suarez leaving the field looking devastated after his save on the line, only to break out into unbridled joy when the Ghana player missed the penalty.
Spain seem to be doing what France did at the last tournament. Not playing that well at all but managing to do just enough to keep progressing.
Spain vs Holland looks to the be the likely final now, I feel.

The thing that bugs me the most about the poseurs is when they get gently prodded in the ribs and then go down clutching their FACE. Football is the only sport I can think of where players go out of their way to demonstrate what pussies they are in order to gain an advantage.

Yeah, it really is pathetic. It seems to be getting worse too.
This was simply ridiculous.
So Holland are in the final. I think Germany have been the best team so far but the best teams don't always win. I think Spain will win tomorrow, maybe A.E.T. and get to the final.

The Octopus was right! He really is a soothsayer.

That octopus is amazing.
I don't think it will be third time lucky for the Dutch. I think there could be a few goals in the game on Sunday but I think Spain might win by the odd goal. Maybe 2-1.
Germany might slam a few past Uragay in the play-off.

Mystic V is betting against the octapus. V thinks that Netherlands will squeak past Spain 1-0.

It's over. There is no point in trying to change what is already written. Paul The Octopus has said that Spain will win the world cup and it will happen. All hail Paul.

Sadly Paul will not live long enough to predict another tournament, he is already 75 or so in Octopus years. Maybe that is why he knows so much about Footie. ![](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/07/08/article-0-0A57726C000005DC-900_468x332.jpg)

In keeping with most World Cup finals of recent times it wasn't a great game. I thought Spain were the better team last night and probably the best team in the tournament so they were deserving winners.
The tournament as a whole wasn't the best.
I remembered today that Scotland got drawn against Spain in their qualifying group for the European Championships. We just can't catch a break. Spain are going to make us their mamasitas. Oh well, roll on Brazil 2014.
