World cup fever!!
As the world cup moves closer i would like to, for a bit of fun, organise a world cup predictions competition between QL'rs. If enough people are interested i will post a predictions page on this thread later in the week and the winner will recieve ------- nothing!.. apart from being Doha's top predictor... if enough show interest(say 20 min) it should be a bit of fun...and give bragging rights for the next 4 years..
3-1 ... Gerrard, Lampard and defoe! go England! will only have one more game if they get through as the Argies are way too strong :0(
doesn't matter if Villa doesn't score another one(which i seriously doubt) but what a goal!!!...
Chile are playing really well but they have to tighten up. Playing like that against Brazil might lead to a goal fest and Brazil never lose one of those. Great goal by villa :)
Great goal last night... Felt dorry for Chile.. They deserved at least a draw..
I got 6 group winners right. England and Italy let me down :(
Villa is also on target to be the top scorer :)
SPAIN
Argentina.....
I am in
Argentina..
If England don't win it, then I'll go for Argentina..
1.Winner group A = Uraguay
2.Winner group B = Argentina
3.Winner group C = USA
4.Winner group D = Germany
5.Winner group E = Holland
6.Winner group F = Paraguay
7.Winner group G = Brazil
8.Winner group H = Spain
9.WC Runner-up = England
10.WC Champions = Argentina
11.Tournament top goal scorer(individual)= Higuain(Arg)3 and Villa(Esp) 3
12.Tournament top goal scorers(team) = Argentina 7 and Portugal 7
13.Which team will score the fastest goal of tournament = England 4 mins(Gerrard)
14.Closest guess for total number of goals scored during tournament = 101 So far!
My predictions are dreadful - on a positive not Messi has had most shots on goal(20) so if the keeper does not get in the way anymore he may still be top scorer!!
France (INSHAALLAH)...count me in..!!!
vtoworld,
your totalqatar.com is total bull$hit, it does not work!
britexpat,
speak for your self, you are far from being the model to follow!
We are called "Armchair Sportsmen"..
It is hard work, balancing, TV, Beer, Cheetos, Popcorn and Burgers whilst having to rush off for a quick pee...
Well, my Dad loves the game. And my colleagues too - the women generally because of their hubbies. But can't see any of them do any sports other than just watching other people do sports. But anyway, I guess I'll learn more about the game soon. Maybe game play strategies. Will see.
For now, can't see what the fuss is about with 22 boys running around a field chasing a ball...
lol
It won't be a prediction, it will be a news report of the world cup :D
Does it count if I predict the winner on July 11th ...

Nic,all the participating teams at the World Cup have an equal chance of winning,the respective teams see it that way but unfortunately we do not,so we put our predictions on various issues like World Cup winner,Golden Boot winner and so on.

Enough said.

2.Winner group B = 10pts
3.Winner group C = 10pts
4.Winner group D = 10pts

Mr M.,
Nobody is saying the contrary that is common sense!!! All we are doing here is playing a game!
The only way you can be sure of guessing right, is to add all the rest of the participant teams into you preferred list.
Anything can happen in football,it's hard to predict anything in football.We can say England,The Netherlands,France,Germany,Brazil and Spain are favourites.
