Ah! My most favorite football team is Brazil..... I like their teamwork! ;)

[numpypython]

They've got a good team this time. Hopefully they won't disappoint :)

[tangmo]

Ah! That's great! And I do really hope so.... ;)

So a tie between England and Belgium. Mmh, it all will depend on the 2 previous games. If we both have 2 wins, than it could be possible. Don't forget that we will know before the game who the groups winner and runner-up will face in the next round. So it could be a strange game!
Good luck with your entry!

Thanks, Peter! Both playing well right now so it looks like it's going to be a tough one to call.

Good luck with this, such a large number of matches to predict to win, but someone will win! I'll be over 40 reputation for the next world cup, and will enter then :)

Most of what you picked are what I would have picked, I'd say Russia could do well in this, maybe more than you think, there may be some dodgy refereeing decisions already decided in Russia's favour :)

Thanks! That's a shame... you're so close to that 40 mark. You'll probably hit 40 with a few more posts. Hopefully the knock-out round will be open to all and not just the first round participants.

Haha yeah i think there'll be a lot of dodgy calls in Russia's favor.
