Rei Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Who do you think is going to win? I put my bet on England. Statistics are with them. Argentina and Spain my second choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 OK, taking this thread too seriously possibly but I predicted the whole tournament at http://www.worldcupchart.com/ My results are based on that Who do you think is going to win? Brazil Who do you think is the other finalist? Spain Who do you think is going to be the surprise team of the tournament? South Korea (knock out France in the second round and give England a scare in the Quarters) Who is gonna win the golden ball? Kaka (Maradona never gets the best out of Messi) Who is gonna win the golden shoe? Wayne Rooney How far do you think your team is gonna go? Semi-final, beaten by Champions Brazil. England go on to beat Germany in the 3rd/4th place play-off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I put my bet on England. Statistics are with them. Argentina and Spain my second choices. About statistics, never an European team won a World Cup outside Europe... And in 100+ years of FIFA only once a European National team won a FIFA official tournament outside Europe (France, Confederations Cup 2001 in South Korea)... Brazil wins again, since it's the only team that won in every single continent... (Statistics) Maradona never gets the best out of Messi 100% agreed!

Rob2012 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 If you want good money, bet on New Zealand! For most goals conceded? I think it'll be between them and Kim Jong-il's barmy army. New Zealand really were poor in the games I watched during last year's Confed Cup. I think they'll be shown to be way out of their depth. But, I hope I'm wrong; I'd love it if they beat Italy!

KRATK Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I can't see Argentina reaching Quarterfinals... sure, they have the best player of the moment but the rest of Maradona's choice are crap... For me, Brazil will be the champion winning the final against England/Germany/Spain... and I hope Chile will be the surprise Denmark and Ivory Coast are the other candidates for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The winner is usually one of the top teams that people think is in a troph. From what I've read about 1994 it was expected that a unified Germany would defend West Germany's title, 1998 was Brazil, 2002 was Italy and 2006 was Brazil. But the winners have been Brazil-France-Brazil-Italy. So a team that is in a funk right now that people aren't expecting much of - Argentina. Though their group is tricky.

DannyelBrazil Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 With Maradona formation, and watched the South American Qualifiers (when Argentina suffered a lot to be 4th, indeed losing to Bolivia 0 - 6 with Messi playing), I can say Argentina can even fail to make the Round of 16... In the theory it's a great team, but together, it's simply a mess-i (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 We will see, the same was being said about Germany before 2002 and Italy before 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm with Danny. Italy qualified comfortably for the 2006 world cup, unlike Argentina this time around. They mightn't have been favourites but nor were they in the state Argentina are in. Germany had probably the easiest path to a world cup final ever in 2002 (R16:Paraguay -> QF:USA -> SF:Korea). They are not a good example, and I think Argentina would be lucky to get as easy a set of fixtures as that. I think it's true to say the favourite often doesn't win, but I think it's just as true to say teams playing like Argentina currently are don't either.

Rafa Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Who do you think is going to win? Deutschland Who do you think is the other finalist?

Afrique du Sud ( we will score 1 goal, and surprise the world) Who is gonna win the golden ball? das Rooney Who is gonna win the golden shoe? das Messi How far do you think your team is gonna go? England.....SF? The journey ends in Kaapstadt. I will be at Germany vs Ghana and Germany vs. My Island Home. and 7 others! incl. England vs. Algeria!

KRATK Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 You can't compare the current Argentina with the Germany of 2002 and Italy of 2006... Argentina doesn't even have a team; Maradona has called more than a hundred of different players in the last games... he even called Martín Palermo and Ariel Ortega... WTF! Are we in 1998?

Rei Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 About statistics, never an European team won a World Cup outside Europe Yeah I know about this but afterall South Africa is a former British colony and so, somehow, it's like a second home for the English.

gotosy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 If all the favorites won their groups: France-England-Netherlands-Brazil only face Argentina-Germany-Italy-Spain in the final match. so a logical thinking is: Who do you think is going to win? Brazil Who do you think is the other finalist? Germany but World Cup is not logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yeah I know about this but afterall South Africa is a former British colony and so, somehow, it's like a second home for the English. But it is still in other continent... LOL USA can be a second home for the English too and you didn't even qualified for that World Cup... Brazil in 2002 anyone? Brazil is always Brazil... (Less than quarterfinals is a tragedy and shame for the Brazilian average people) The last coach that didn't make quarterfinals never worked again in Brazil... LOL I'm glad there is no argentine here in GamesBids or this "guy" would probably annoys us with his argentine-superiority-skill talkings...

DannyelBrazil Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Should World Cup, World Cup Bids, and World Cup related info have a own section here in GamesBids Forums??? Indeed the bid race for World Cup is also interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Can't say I know too much about the form, or individual players. Most comments in the press here have Brazil or Spain as the favourites - which was the exact prediction in 2006 too! So most of my predictions are based totally on wishful thinking and personal bias. Who do you think is going to win? England (I said the same for 2006) Who do you think is the other finalist? Argentina Who do you think is going to be the surprise team of the tournament? One of the African sides will surely make a personal best. Not win the tournament, but probably make the semis. Let's say Cote D'Ivoire. How far do you think your team is gonna go? Australia ... I'm less sanguine about our chances than in 2006. I pray we make the group of 16 then wallop England (yeah, I know, that would defeat my tournament winner prediction) and make the quarters. I'm steeled for bowing out early in a tight group, however. Germany ... Semis. But hopefully even further. It'd be nice if the Socceroos could draw with them in the first match in Durban.

I have a lot of Argentinean friends and most of them are more pessimistic than us. Even a lot of them though Argentina shouldn't have qualified to the WC.
