World cup fever!!

Frugaluga
By Frugaluga

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..

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 :)

I got 6 group winners right. England and Italy let me down :(

Villa is also on target to be the top scorer :)

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!!

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...

Mr M.

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.

What i mentioned are my personal favourites to win the world title,although i must add the african teams will do their best this time around.

Enough said.

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.

By Mr M.• 2 Jun 2010 12:48
Mr M.

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.
