If you put 10 on these results as a straight 'treble' and they are all right you win 72,900. Good luck :)

He has as much chance of winning as the Greeks have of winning the WC :lol:

10 on Greece to win the WC would only win you a mere 751 :)

Here is my prediction:
Colombia 1 Ivory Coast 1
Japan 0 Beards 0
Uruguay 1 England 1

Not only are you clueless in football but even from a mathematical perspective the likelihood of 3 draws is quite remote so you’d be more accurate predicting which Ukrainian dating service will be the most profitable this year! :lol:

Lets have a bet, your prediction against mine !! Besides, I like draws :lol: :lol:

Bear in mind Plonker, I watched some of the greatest players the world has ever produced, like Pele, De Stefano, Best, Charlton, Uesebio , ...Zaggilos and many more when you were a mere nipper, if that!!

Hello? :roll: In 1966 I was one year old when I predicted that England would win the WC! I couldn’t talk of course but I grabbed my god mother’s left breast and wouldn’t let go! 8)

It must be the 4-2 causing that... too many goals.

Australia and Holland have played each other 3 times. Australia won one game and the other 2 were draws. Holland have never beaten Australia.

The Dutch fear Australia because they are playing against Australians.

Australia 1 Holland 0

You lost, midget. :lol:


Oh well, it looks like Greece is fucked! Goaless and the worst team of the World Cup!

Bullshit!

They were clearly outplayed and they knew they were in for a tough game against the Aussies.

The Aussies were better prepared, do not underestimate their opponent but do not fear them either.

Australia has an excellent back room of Assistant Coaches etc and they are building a world class team. You got people like Vidmar and Kewell there.

His Majesty, the King of Tonga wishes to invite Australia for a friendly football match followed by a boar fest.

His Majesty the King Abou-Baba Boulla III


:lol:

You have to admit that Australia are the favourites to win. :mrgreen: :lol:

Sure, but I’ve just put 50 bucks on Tonga because I like to go for the “dark horse”… :lol:


How about that game with Australia?

How many goals would Cyprus lose by?
8,6,5,4, or 3 :lol:

OK let's say the Dutch played a relaxed tempo.

If that is the case, they would want to control the game at that tempo and they did not manage to control the game throughout the entire match. A team playing a relaxed tempo would turn it up when the opposition gains the upper hand, and yet that didn't happen.

Therefore, the Aussies were all over them, and that is what all the experts, sports commentators and media are saying. Australia threw the game away. The Dutch did not win, the Aussies lost it! That is the hallmark of an inexperienced team of kids which is what the Aussie Team is. Youngest team in the competition.

There is a reason why Australia have this squad. This squad is being developed into the next golden age of soccer. Yes, Australia has had a Golden Age between 1998 and 2010. They were ranked 9th in the world. This team is being sculptured to achieve that and more.

They are getting their taste of blood right now, and it will be another more mature Australia in the next world cup.

Australia will also be ranked much higher than Greece within the next 2 to 3 years. It will be in the top 20 within 3 years and in the top 10 after the next World Cup.

They have a great coach and brains trust and the money to have any coach they want including Van Gaal - who was pathetic against the Aussies I must say. He was outclassed and tactically fucked in the head by Postecoglu, and Aerelio Vidmar!
