World Cup 2010 Forecastology

Relax. Diego Maradona is calling for supplemental cocaine supply, not very difficult and not very illegal in South Africa. With enough of it, he'll win it.
If Germany is holding the midfield, no need to play liao really, you still fancy Argentine to win huh? hmmm....
 
damn the oberhausen psychic octopus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great team - Germany :), Spain will have problem beating the Germans. :):)
 
argentina play dat kind of way in attack is very difficult 2 score 1 la if ze opponents' defens is tight ...

dey try 2 dribble thru, cannot ... ppl dribble in their defens, can penetrate n score! ...

germans counter-attack is very powderful ... dey have a certain routine in their attack on their left ... their nex opponent shud take note ...
 
Maradona brought 6 great strikers, 5 midfielders consisting of Gutierrez, Maxi, Veron, Mascherano and 2 unexperienced midfielders, how to win?

Maradona think he's playing Winning Eleven har? LOL :D:D:D
 
suddenly, tis world cup has bcum so boring! ... :(
 
german tanks just too powerful...
argentina better go home and nurse their wounds and enjoy their chiobus..

forget about football for the next decade....

nanbeh 4 goals ! what a shame!

germans simply just too good...precision soccer;incisive soccer;intelligent soccer;great skill soccer;great energy;great power;great strikers;great defence;great germans! brawast!!!

well done to GERMANY!!!
 
Just because Brazil and Argentina are out, it doesn't mean that the world cup is boring.
Holland defeated Brazil fair and square, didn't even need extra time or penalties.
Germany crushed Argentina in 90 minutes.
Uruguay were very lucky to defeat Ghana on penalties, but Ghana only have themselves to blame.
All 3 semi finalists play good football and they deserve to be in semi finals.
Missing players for semi finals:
Holland: De Jong and Van Der Wiel are suspended.
Uruguay: Suarez is suspended.
Germany: Muller is suspended.
 
My friend a Spain supporter is sweating over Germany, hahahaha :D:D
Germany vs Spain match may outshine Dutch vs Brazil match :):)
 
Haiz, so ironic, in the early stage of the tournament, the Europeans teams struggled while the South Americans dominated. Who would expect only 1 South American team left in the Semifinals. -_-"
 
spain is lucky to go to semi final.
what a boring match, if not for all the penalty and penalty replay.

the paraquas deserved it! they played like ruffians against japan..played dirty,played foul,played acting and played rough...so GOD punished them with penalties and failed penalty!!!

so in all fields, even on the soccer field, don't play dirty, don't play cheat and don't bully and humiliate people...see what happened to the peacocky portugual who gave the north korean school boys a licking....they got sacked by spain!...and now the pariahs got spanked by spain. spain seems to be the GOD for this world cup and i think they might just be the world cup champions 2010. of course the germans!!!! if GOD is on your side, even the germans will suffer losses...wait and see.

watch the game....don't gamble!!!!
 
During the friendlies and group stages of this world cup, I was a quiet supporter of Argentina. The low opinion of the sporting press made it easy to get good odds on the team. Plus point was that Maradona's story of a has-been who is given a 2nd chance in life resonates with the middle aged uncle in me.

That unfortunately all changed after Argentina's flashy 4-1 defeat of South Korea in the group stages. Almost overnight he was transformed into the Hand of God. From a joke, Argentina went on to become the herd favourite. Which meant of course I had to give up betting on that team.

As a coach, I don't think Maradona is bad at all. Argentina looked bad yesterday night as they walked into a carefully prepared German trap. Just when we needed Maradona the creative genius, we got Maradona the cautious conservative who set up a predictable gameplan. I posted some time back that if Germany could read what Maradona was going to do, Germany would grind Argentina up like prime beef. With the benefit of hindsight, I suppose you could have seen it coming in the mind war leading up to the match. Maradona kept talking about how the team was carrying the weight of expectation to win the world cup. From a man with nothing to lose, he suddenly became a man with everything to lose. When you suddenly have everything to lose, then it is only natural you lose your edge and become careful/conservative.

After yesterday, the current German team will now go on to claim the mantle of "invincible" among the herd. They are not of course. Their weakenss continues to be a lack of ability to improvise when things don't go as planned. If they can be suprised, they will fall into disarray and collapse very easily. Among the remaining teams, Netherlands has probably the best chance to do this. Hopefully Germany and the Netherlands will both make it to the finals and I can get a good final bet to end off what has been a very profitable World Cup 2010.:cool:
 
Sorry man, Holland and Spain to the Finals... Germany cannot win Spain.

Early odds show that Spain is the favourite to win this match. So far, Spain has yet to show any particular strategic genius on the field. They have been grinding out results in a somewhat constipated manner. Unless there is a very radical change in the next 3 days, you can probably win some nice money by by buying Germany as the outsider for this match.

For those looking to buy Germany, better do it early since most of the herd will probably to looking to buy it.

For those looking to back Spain, probably can hang on and buy in the afternoon before match time since the herd see Spain no up.

Interesting statistics for the coming matches. De Jong and Muller's suspension is quite significant ..:eek:

This German teams different seem very attack oriented and defense is seemly rock solid....I think Spain will have problems getting pass them this time..especially with the lousy form Torres is in, it will be up to David Villa to do it alone but the way the Germans bundle Messi out, doubt if Villa can even overcome them...

We shall wait for Paul, the Octopus's prediction.... :D
 
Germany cannot win Spain.
I disagree, it will be 1 hell of a match, if Spain played like last night, the Germans might win.

I'll vote Villa as the Player of the Tournament, fucking awesome player. to think I've said Torres is better than Villa, silly me..... Where's Torres the blondie? He should keep his hair long and dye it blonde again. LOL:D:D
