World Cup 2010: Final Predictions

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/06/28/article-0-0A3C29A5000005DC-636_468x357.jpg

Time to make my final predictions. I went 6/8 in the round of 16.

Uruguay vs. Ghana-Tough call here. Both sides can play defense and are very physical. I think it will be low scoring and come down to penalties. Uruguay wins.

Netherlands vs. Brazil-The Netherlands have a great team, but gave up some golden opportunities against Slovakia. Luckily for them, Slovakia lacked the talent up front to turn those chances into goals. Brazil has the talent, and will win 3-1.

Argentina vs. Germany-Lots of goals here. I think Messi will lead Argentina to a 4-3 triumph.

Paraguay vs. Spain-Nice run Paraguay, but physical play can only get you so far. Spain will dominate possession and win 3-0.

That will set up...

Uruguay vs. Brazil-C'mon, really? Brazil by two goals.

Argentina vs. Spain-This will be a close match. Argentina wins in penalties.

3rd Place

Uruguay vs. Spain-C'mon, really? Spain by two goals.

The Championship Match

Brazil vs. Argentina-Legendary stuff here. Two immensely talented sides battling it out on the pitch for the right to hoist the Cup. I hope this match happens, and, given how the South American squads ran shit in this World Cup, it will. Fabiano will get an early goal to put Brazil up 1-0. He will be offside. Robinho will get a second right before the half, sprinting down the field on a classic Brazilian counterattack. Argentina will get two in the second half, both from Messi. The second will be from distance and will shock everyone. Both teams will manage to score in extra time, making it 3-3. Now we're at penalties. Messi will put his just wide, and Brazil will win 5-4.

Then Maradona will rub his head.

  1. I think your rooting for brazil. But you didnt want to make it obvious. Clearly you dislike Messi cause he is the best in the world. To be honest Brazil doesnt have what it take to win the final this year. They are good, but they are not even close to what they used to be. The old brazil would of trampled over portugal bu they didnt. Im rooting for the Netherlands but it is to hard to tell wh will win
