Re: FIFA WC Tipping comp

OK Wybern coming through......7.00 pm Melbourne time...got caught in traffic ARGH!

*Checked you are in Queensland so I'm OK.

Tue 15th
New Zealand 0 - 2 Slovakia
Ivory Coast 0 - 2 Portugal
Brazil 3 - 0 Korea

Wed 16th
Honduras 0 - 1 Chile
Spain 2 - 0 Switzerland
South Africa 1 - 1 Uruguay

Being a Swiss and Australian citizen I would like to see the Swiss do well but Spain is probably the favourite alongside Brazil. I went with my heart on the Aus vs. Germany game (personally predicted 2 - 0 loss to OZ) so I won't try that again....

If there are holes in the Swiss defence, Spain will find them.









(Sorry for the cheesy pun. )

Wow! Amazing finish to the NZ vs. Slovakia game. 30 seconds to go on the clock in extra time and Slovakia leading I figured I at least had a point but NO...the Kiwis strike with a header tucked into the far post and the game ends in a draw. Amazing stuff. Good on the New Zealanders though...

Re: FIFA WC Tipping comp

Yeh me too.

Still Lenny and einlanzer scored the maximum and Cul was soooo close to another 4 pointer it 'aint funny.

That's one of the more extraordinary finishes I've seen to the world cup game. N.Z. kept pressing in the last 5 - 6 minutes and the Slovakians were only interested in defending their lead rather than attacking. That may have been a mistake.

Re: FIFA WC Tipping comp

My prediction for the Ivory Coast - Portugal match was based on the continued absence of Drogba from the former's line-up. And now I've heard the commentator say that he may play a part in proceedings later on in the game. Darp!


(On the other hand, Ronaldo seems to be in full diving mode today, so perhaps that will make a difference.)

Oh that was beautiful! I'm surprised Ronaldo hasn't burst into tears following the yellow.

I'm goint to burst into tears if I don't get a result soon.

At least it's good see the Drog up and running about.

That was rather dull.


And another 4 points drifts out of my grasp.

Aye. Boring game *and* I get few points.

Still, got my 7-0 bet on Brazil Vs North Korea to come

[The 7 goals will be scored by Brazil ]
