World Cup Predictions

School is over and summer has begun - life is good.

Note: This post is mainly to organize my predictions for the World Cup.

Top 16

Group A

Uruguay & Mexico (Already confirmed - very disappointing for France)

Group B

Argentina & South Korea (Pretty obvious)

Group C

USA & England (Hopefully)

Group D

Germany & Ghana (Ghana is one African nation with a good chance of advancing)

Group E

Netherlands & Japan (Netherlands has a good shot to take it all)

Group F

Italy & Paraguay (I'm not very fond of Italy)

Group G

Brazil & Portugal (Tough group and a sad loss for Ivory Coast)

Group H

Spain & Chile (Poor performance from Spain thus far)

Therefore, the top 16 teams are:

1. Argentina
2. Brazil
3. Chile
4. England
5. Germany
6. Ghana
7. Italy
8. Japan
9. Mexico
10. Netherlands
11. Paraguay
12. Portugal
13. South Korea
14. Spain
15. Uruguay
16. USA

Finalists

2010 World Cup Winner: Argentina, even though Maradona has no idea what he is doing.

You might have noticed I changed my finalists from Argentina & Spain to Argentina & Brazil. Simply put, after Spain's poor performance in several matches, I don't have much hope for them advancing through to finals, though they do have the potential. Brazil, however, has stepped up to the plate and has delivered quite a show for each match. I could be dead wrong, but for now lets enjoy the beautiful game.

Overall, this world cup hasn't been good, and i'm quite sad for the African nations.
Rating: 6.5/10

Let's just hope this isn't another World Cup like that of the 1990's in Italy.
