Can I predict a score that's already in? Nah, wouldn't be cricket. I would have predicted an Uruguay win but here's mine:

Uruguay v South Korea
Argentina v Mexico 2-0
USA V Ghana 1-0
England v Germany 3-1
Spain v Portugal 2-0
Brazil v Chile 2-0
Holland v Slovakia 1-0
Japan v Paraguay 0-2

I suppose, as I predicted the 4 semi-finalists to be Holland/Germany/Paraguay/Uraguay (7th June page 2), I'm a bit limited as to what my predictions can be.

Holland 2 - 0 Brazil
Uraguay 3 - 0 Ghana
Argentina 1 - 2 Germany
Paraguay 2 - 1 Spain

I have a pretty shocking record for predicting semi-final results.....I hardly ever get one correct....the FA Cup over the years is a prime example of this.
So,chaps,I'm hoping that the final will be Holland v Spain so you can bet your bottom dollar it will be Uruguay v Germany !

But for my predictions I'm going to go for......
Holland v Uruguay 2-1
Spain v Germany 0-2

So lets see what beer monkey,polehawk and statto come up with......

From the bottom of the pit, my predictions are:

Dutchboys over the mortally wounded Uruguayan actors, 1-0
Achtung! 4th Reich over the Espana Torres-itos, 2-1

Hoping for some higher scoring matches but that ain't gonna happen. Maybe one or both will be settled with penalty kicks? Those are fun to watch. =D>

1:30 am matches? The alarm clock will be set.

Anyone else finding these 1.30am kick offs leaving you shattered the next day ?
Going to bed around 3.30am and taking our son to school at 7am is taking its toll.
All the remaining matches are at this time.....its tougher on the viewers than the players !

I must admit that I would have been VERY selective in my viewings if I had been in Udon for the competition...

Mine have to be Holland 1 - 1 Uruguay (Uruguay to win in extra time. Either Robben or Schneider will get sent off 2 yellows with the first for DIVING........ surely the ref will have watched the replays of the last Dutch game and be looking out for them !!)

Germany v Spain is a problem ........ if the Jeirmans get the first they will win by 2 or 3 but if Spain score first and Germany have to chase the game instead of counter attacking ??????

OK Germany 3 - 1 Spain (I really cannot see anyone in the Spanish team capable of scoreing the first goal !!)
