well I don't have a predictor... is there one???
I know this isn't what you meant, but the Castrol Predictor is very cool:
http://www.castrolfootball.com/predictor/ (http://www.castrolfootball.com/predictor/)
I made predictions on paper (can't be bothered to type them all out) but I printed out the wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup#Knockout_stage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup#Knockout_stage)
My prediction and dream is that we will meet France in the QFs, and send those cheats on a bon voyage back to France! I also predict that we will be knocked out in the semis by Brazil, and meet Germany in the 3rd place playoffs.
You predict germany would loose to the yanks no way.cant see holland doing that well, brazil are good as usual argentina with messi are a threat,spain if torres fit. I go for Argentina dont want them to but thats my prediction.England will win there pool as well not yanks.think our game will be a draw.

Now when you say "we" are you talking USA "we"? or England "we"?
And i thought you were all doom and gloom that is very optimistic lighthouse would like to see it dont think italy that good to be honest.

ha ha USA's chance of winning the world cup are 2.4% wow seems a bit high to me... :doh:
:I thought you were a yank sorry if i got that wrong no harm meant
according to the predictor there is an 18 percent chance the US will face England in the final... well sign me up for that bet...
"We" meaning England of course!
God save the Queen...Rule, Britannia!...take me back to dear old Blighty... and all that.
-2.4% Could happen! It's only 7 matches to victory, after all.
If Fulham can be Europa Cup Runners up - Anything can happen

The eternal pessimist has just made me an optimist... WELL SAID LIGHTY :clap_hands: AND I'LL DRINK TO THAT... :beer:
I predict i'll get really bored of the World cup real quick, and i hope my mum dosent hang the St Goerge over the balcony again pretending she's a football fan, very embarassing. Hopefully England fail at the first hurdle, so i dont have to put up with idiots telling me how great England are for too long :046: :59: .
Well that's not the spirit Frederick... a whole month of some really heart felt football and more importantly drunken partying... what's not to love... Where's your World Cup spirit? it's kinda like Christmas spirit only more tangible.

I dont like Terry, Lampard, Cole and a few others, no feelings either way for the rest of the players so why would i support them? Fulham is the only team for me.

So pick an under dog team... dare I suggest you could be a USA fan just for the Cup... or the Aussies they're a tough hard working team... pick a colony and root them through to the finals... come on Freddy.
I've alreadt said i'd support the Yanks and Oz if i'm watching a game, as long as Demps or swarcher is playing, but the World cup is just one big yawn fest to me.

Shouldn't you be out doing driveways or something.
Thats not nice funny but not nice.tarmac your drive guvnor.id be on rouge traders.
not a prediction, just a hope...usa smash england who go on to fail to make 1/4 final. I thought fat frank was saving that last penalty for an england game. shame!
OK, I am biased (a Scot) but this load of t0ssers representing England are just about the worst bunch ever. Several of the bench players would not get in Fulham's starting 11. The starters (particularly chelsea players) are so full of themselves it is beyond a joke. I hope terry scores the all important own goal which gets them home before the post cards.
As for the manager, he gets 6 million to watch football and then totally contradicts himself at selection time. No bench warmers, no injured payers he said. That takes care of about half of his squad he has justt picked..
Seriously now, any world cup team that includes Crouch, Carragher and Wright-Philips is going nowhere (except home early).
!
Several points to address here!
- The Chelsea lot, arrogant bastards? Yes, of course. I don't think I'd go for a pint with many of the England squad. Most of the Fulham squad, I would. But they represent us at football, not at being good mates.
- No bench warmers? Fair enough. He didn't have much choice. Lots of injured players.
- £6million a year? Yes, that's mental. But football wages are mental anyway.
- Crouch, Carragher, SWP - would you really say no, if we could afford them?
Finally - we're ("England") probably not going to win. But we've got a decent chance. We've got a run-in that isn't impossible. Besides, it's not the point. I'm English, I want England to do well. Fulham are probably not going to win the FA Cup next season, I'll still sing/shout myself hoarse every step of the way.
Am I the only Englishman on the board that is actually excited about the world cup!?
No imperial white you are not but just cant get rio ferdinand lifting the world cup he looks more suited at the special olympics and rooney defo inbreeding just come off campsite,would they milk it as much as hurst and the others i couldnt handle seeing the midget cole being on adverts when im 60 selling shredded wheat.gareth barry is the only likeable one and he looks boring as fxxx.oh and milner i like milner quality player hes gona have agreat wc.
I have no idea why but I have become more of a football fan of late. Saw bits of the game tonight where usually I couldn't care less. The World Cup will be a real treat hopefully. So looking forward to it. Supporting Fulham players first and England second.

Thanks Logic, I will join... and I know this makes me a total shlte fulham fan but I would be lying if I didn't say country is just as important to me as Fulham... but that is a shift in the right direction, because not long ago country would come before fulham... the longer I am here the more I feel I belong. Still I get just as excited for Fulham as I do for USA games.

I agree with you McBridefan. I do feel more patriotic for a USA game though. Hearing the national anthem before a national game gives me goose bumps. But on the flip side, seeing the Cottage gives me goose bumps.
so how are everyone's picks coming along?
Well, I'm tied for second. Has anyone noted the rocket rise of our dear Finny?
I was second onlly a point behind. Then I forgot to do it for a few days. So have sort of fallen. Otherwise of coarse I would be way up there. Blimmin Cosmic.
well at least I got one of the two finalists right... :54: Wasn't hard picking the Dutch though... What were the odds on the dutch at the start of the cup??? 6 to 1???

10 to 1. My misses got me to put a fiver on them for her. In 2006 she bet on Italy. I've said if Holland win we're putting our life savings on whoever she reckons will win in 2014!
