Maybe this thread could be turned into a Sticky for the World Cup?
Tonight the Dutch will take on Ghana. In contrast to the previous friendly against Mexico, we'll most likely start with our 11 best players. Curious to see how they'll play as a team!

Yeah there are many websites which let you set up groups which friends can join. Everyone in the group fills in the expected outcomes for each match and points are being given based on how close your predictions are. Great fun to beat your friends on one day.... until they beat you the next one and retaliate in making fun of you haha.
I'm not well acquainted with most teams so my predictions would be shite. Usually it's the well-known soccer nations plus 1 surprise country who advance to the semi-finals.
And the Germany-Hungary match was terrible haha. I'm half Hungarian so it's with some sense of sadness that I have to say they looked like a bunch of amateurs. Hideous, the lot of them.
Germany tried out a lot of new players to determine which ones will be cut and which 23 lucky Germans will be given tickets to participate in the World Cup. So kinda hard to say much about their performance. People say them missing Ballack will cost them dearly but Germany is a terrific tournament team. Meaning that they usually grow a lot in a tournament, become an even tighter team and often play for result.
They don't have the talent that we the Dutch have but look at where Germany stranded at the last few European Cups and World Cups, and compare that to where the Dutch stranded. For instance, in 2002 we didn't even qualify for the World Cup after making it to semi-finals in 1998. In contrast, Germany made it to the finals game against Brazil in 2002.
Nuff said.
