And you were saying......

lol streaking it is!

No one expects the Spanish Demolition!!!

 

[ckhokie]

A- Brazil and Croatia
B- Chile and Netherlands
C- Colombia and Japan
D- Uruguay and Italy
E- France and Switzerland
F- Argentina and Bosnia
G- USA and Germany
H- Russia and Belgium

Looking like the strongest picks so far

 

[olympicoscar]

Group A Brazil and Mexico
Group B Spain and Chile
Group C Colombia and upset with Greece Colombia is the easy pick
Group D Uruguay and England
Group E France and Ecuador
Group F Argentina and Bosnia Argentina can play their bench and win this group
Group G Germany and Portugal (Brazil is Portugese, so Portugal does it)
Group H Belgium and Russia

I went heavy with South American teams as something like 40% of the World Cup Winners have been from the country or the continent, I forget which.

The odds on Brazil or Argentina were ridiculous to win their groups. I was in Las Vegas and Vegas wanted $600 bucks so I could win $100.

The top 4 teams to win it were all the same at the Sportsbooks I went to, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, or Spain.

Brazil should win it, but if Brazil does lose a game the country will go into an all out riot because the masses are not being treated well at all by the Brazilian government. Money is being thrown around for the World Cup and Olympics, but corruption and delays are totally screwing it all up.

Games on Thursday.

As of now, here is how I see it.

A Brazil and Croatia
B Chile and Netherlands (they've already achieved it)
C Columbia and Ivory Coast
D Italy and Uruguay
E France and Switzerland
F Argentina and Bosnia-H
G Germany and USA
H Belgium and Russia

Halfway point I am somehow batting 75%

Group A Brazil and Mexico Correct
Group B Spain and Chile Spain shockingly sucked.
Group C Colombia and upset with Greece Colombia is the easy pick Correct
Group D Uruguay and England England sucked and Luis Suarez is a vampire

 

[Cave_Johnson]

A : Brazil, Croatia
B : Netherlands, Spain
C : Columbia, Ivory Coast
D : Uruguay, Italy
E : France, Ecuador
F : Argentina,Bosnia
G : Germany, Ghana
H : Belgium, Russia

Group G I got the following ( a lot of gut feelings here ):

Germany beats Ghana and USA, draws Portugal.
Portugal draws Germany and USA, loses to Ghana
Ghana beats USA, and Portugal, loses to Germany
USA loses to Ghana and Germany, draws Portugal

Just have a bad feeling about the US in this group, I think they'd have a decent shot in most of the others. Going to have get at least 4 points out of the Portugal and Ghana games since I don't see anyway in hell they don't lose to Germany. But hey, they managed to draw Italy and England in the last two World Cups (mostly on luck) so we'll see.

Well they've done that. Hopefully I've reversed jinxed them here. If that's case it will follow my trend of incorrectly picking one team from each group.

That is more like it. Missed three so far in the second batch but I don't mind being wrong on USA at all.

Iam now 10-5 only to see if Russia can get in. I am 5-2 for who would win the group, missing Spain and Uruguay.

Go Belgium!!!

[HuskerinBig10]

Thanks to Belgium I lessened the losses from my last Vegas trip. Now, I just have to mail in the winning ticket. Scanning ticket now.

 

[bksballer89]

Russia was a huge disappointment. No way did I think Algeria or South Korea would finish advance out of the group over them
