Would be, but I just can't stand the thought of that donkey Luis Fabiano playing in the World Cup final.

only 14 games left. Seems like only yesterday South Africa was taking on Mexico. Time flies.

Looking at the draw an all South American top 4 is not that unrealistic with all Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay on different paths. Paraguay beating Spain/Portugal the only real upset needed for this to happen the other three would fancy themselves advancing to the top4.

Definitely, Have got my money on Argentina. They're looking good and Maradona reactions make me laugh. Reminds me of a gnome or perhaps a dwarf.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

quite a big call

The 'bank on it' is the big call. Germany v Brazil not so much. Both Holland-Brazil and Argentina-Germany could easily go either way. Not to mention the small matter of Spain lingering about.

Good work Buffy.

Very sad, only 4 games left.   

I so desperately want there to be a new WC winner.

50% chance of that happening.

I've been gunning for the Spain v Netherlands final the moment the make-up of the last 16 was set.

Cmon Paul the Octopus, please please pick the Spanish mussels.

Surely it has to be Netherlands v Germany. I'd actually like the Dutch to win and I never thought I'd ever say that.

Big call to write off the Spaniards. HUGE call in fact.

I have banked on Germany so far with Centrebet, and have continued to back them.

So will see after the final how well my banking is doing :)
