I dont want to know how many people lost money on the brazil-france game.

My friend lost atleast $250US dollars and I am sure alot more people lost more.

[blutach]

Looks like France v Germany. Don't think ITA or POR are as good as the others. And, with home ground advantage, the Germans will have my $$$.

still weird to see the cup without brasil....
i would personally like portugal - germany

[Chewy]

well I have been totally wrong before so why not again
1.germany
2.france
3.italy

anyone else got a pick?

Germany are slight favourites due to home advantage. France is solid defensively, and if Zidane and Henry can keep up their current form, should take care of Portugal and could given the Germans a good game. If it goes to penalties between Germany and France, Germany will win.

Overall, all the teams are very close and I think almost any combination is possible.

For me I think Germany will beat Italy, France will beat Portugal - then in the final Germany will beat France......

Now time for a the secret diary of Theo Walcott Aged 8 ½

(Theo is the 17 year striker that England took and never used)

What I did on my summer holiday
By Theo Walcott Esq aged 8 ½


I went to a place called Germany with my Uncle Sven and some other grown
up's. It is a country in Europe where a bad man called Adolf used to live
with his nazties, he does not live there anymore, Uncle Owen does live
there, and the grown up's say I cant talk about the bad man as it will
make Uncle Owen cry if I do. In Germany there are lots of castles and some
mountains. We are staying in a place called Baden Baden that's a silly
name, Uncle Frank has the same name as his dad, that's silly too, his mum
must get their underpants mixed up all the time.

On the aeroplane Uncle Sol sat next to me, he got me some toffee and wants
to be my friend, he works at the place where I do my YTS, so does Uncle
Freddy but him and Uncle Sol are not best friends anymore.

Uncle Owen met us at the airport, he talks foreign, Uncle Wayne, Uncle
Steven and Uncle David also talk funny, my mum says Uncle David talks like
Orville, he is a duck, Uncle Sol say's uncle David wears dresses and
knickers, and asked me if I had ever worn them. Uncle Sol got me some pop.

In Germany the grown ups are going to play football, my grandad says we
beat them in the olden days before my mum was born. That is a long time
ago.

While the grown up's went to play football so I went shopping with Auntie
Vicky and some other girls she bought me a big ice cream and got herself a
little one but she said she was full before she had eaten any and threw it
away. She bought lots of shoes and handbags and let me play with Brooklyn.
She say's she used to be in a pop band and sang me one of her songs, I
think she was telling fibs.

I told Uncle Sol about my day out with Vicky and he sulked, then he bought
me an even bigger ice cream with lots of hundred's & thousands on it.

All the other grown up's have a girlfriend except Uncle Sol so he plays
with me while they go out. Uncle Sven says I must keep Uncle Sol happy,
that's why I got taken on holiday.

The grown up's went to play Football against somebody called Sweden, Uncle
Sol was crying as Uncle Freddy played for them and would not talk to him.
Uncle Sol bought me lots of toffee today and some crisps. Uncle Sven is
from Sweden and I heard him on the phone to their boss last night. Uncle
Michael hurt his knee and had to go home to his mum for a plaster. Uncle
Peter is a giant, a proper giant like you see in books, he is rubbish at
football though.

Uncle Wayne had a sore toe at the start of out holiday but it got better
So they let him play football. Uncle Sol got me a present but I do not
like it. He says all Germans wear leather underpants and I should while we
are here, they are too tight for me.

All the grown up's started to call Uncle Wayne a potato head who stood on
somebodys spuds. He got shouted at by the referee. They are all saying
that we have to go home now. Uncle Sol was crying again and I had to sit
on his knee to make him stop. He had his mobile phone in his pocket, I
think.

aaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha....
at the end only nations where football is football entered the finals

[blutach]

Although an emerging one from the Antipodes deserved to.

Nuff said.

Funny post LFC.
