World Cup 2006, BET AND WIN
Hello,
Let's bet/tip who is gonna be the next footbal (soccer) world champion!
@toptraveller: Pls convince Andre to sponsor a photo of his wonderful collection for the ones that get their tip right :-)
The final will be on July 9th 2006 in Berlin, Germany at 20h00 (ESMT)
Okay, here we go:
I say: ITALY - ITALIA!!!!!!!!
Sunflower
Hm. I was going to have a different kind of contest later, but o.k. Here it goes.
No more bets after kickoff.
I will send the winner a 12x18 inch print of one of my photos.
In case of a tie between two betters, I will send each a 10x15 inch print.
In case of a 3 way or more tie, I will send the first two people who were right a picture.
Since I know next to nothing about Soccer I am going to bet on BRAZIL as it seems a rather safe bet to me.
For those of you who like me didn't even know who is playing: The Teams

Hi guys,
I'm sure England will win the World Cup 2006!
Jacky
I guess I am going to put my bet on Argentina.
Jacky: England is not only the home of soccer but also Hooligans
Giving this a bump to keep the thread alive.
Ok Ok go ahead and laugh at me. But it would be nice once that the US would win a world cup in soccer. But I think it would go to Germany this time around.
I will count this as a bet for Germany lp!
Great idea to start this, Sunflower!
I am also gonna go with Brazil, even though it would be nice to see Germany win.
i think brazil will win in afraid.

I'm hereby withdrawing my bet on Italy, as Italy has currently got the biggest football scandal ever going on and I cannot imagine that the players will be psychologically strong enough to make it to the final, let alone win the Cup.
My bet is on Germany, because I beleive Germany will beat England in the Final. I'd personally prefer a Germany-Brazil Final again like 4 years ago, but I'm afraid England will beat Brazil in the semifinal

Sunflower, in order to win a prize you'd better choose something else (see my second post).

No. I'll stick to Germany.
If Germany wins the World Cup,
it is correct that I don't have the chance of winning a prize being the 3rd person to bet on Germany, but neither do I if I bet on any other country.
S.
Hm. You may be right, as we already have 2 bets on Brazil. The way I see it, you could still bet on Argentina and just mention that you believe Germany wins, but bet on Argentina anyways. It's still a better chance to win something

Place your bets and win!
We're taking no more bets after June 9th 17:00hs MEST (middle european summer time)
My crystal ball clearly tells me that Holland is going to win. There is no doubt.
well holland looks really good in the warm-up matches , but i think if they loose a few key players they will not go far.

Germany made a good start to the world cup but they need to defend much better if they are to win the competition.
Caribbean beach
Hm, bad news for you and lpstrong I guess.
I am hoping they will improve as the go through the different rounds, poland lost yesterday so hopefully in the next round the will play sweden, they will have a better chance of beating sweden than they would england.

Germany play a completely different football style than they did 4 years ago. They used to focus on defense, and Klinsmann changed the focus to offense. Critics call it "offensive HURRAH!-Football". The team invite very clearly the opponent to shoot goals, but they are good enough to shoot one or two more, so they can win. I hope this tactics is successful. At least it was in the Confed Cup...Anyway, it's more exciting to watch matches like this, isn't it?
@callis: They may even play Paraguay in the next round....
they have better attacking players than they do defence thats why i think theu focus on a more attacking game. they just dont have Good central defenders. It was really good watching germany play yesterday the score some of the best goals i have ever seen in a long time. @sunflower at the moment it does look as if it might be paraguay and i am sure germany will be able to beat them.
Asian Beach
I think I can forget my bet after seing todays performance of Brazil vs. Croatia. I think Croatia would have deserved to win.

poor australia..has no recognition, so im just saying go australia XDD they had a cool comeback in the japan aust game <:o)
Hurray for Australia. Go Aussies go. The next one will be a lot tougher. All the best to them. Maybe Crocodile Dundee will have an upper hand with the strong Brazilians, doubtful since they are not crocs, but I surely hope so.
At the next game I will be cheering for Australia, just I was today for Croatia.

Hey jangel,
Don't worry, the whole world will be cheering for Australia, when they play Brazil on Sunday. And Australia have good chances to win, considering the rather poor presentation of the Brazilian Seleção in the Croatia match.
GO SOCCEROOS GO!
GO SOCCEROOS GO!
GO SOCCEROOS GO!
Good news for the Germany supporters. Germany defence improved a lot ! Anyway they had a lot of 100% chances to score but the ball just woudn't go in. But they worked hard and scored in extra time. This proves you can't write Germany off until the referee blows the final whistle.
They defended much better this time round but the attackers where able to do there jobs until the last minute. i am glad they are through but now the job gets more difficult. Do you think they will be able to beat Ecuador?
Yes, they are able to beat Ecuador. Germany usually like to play South and Central American teams. They have trouble beating European teams. They had not beaten any European team in a tournament in 10 years!!! ...until yesterday...
They'll have trouble playing the Netherlands, Czech Republic, or Italy, even the next round with England or Sweden will be tough but I think the Ecuador match should not be much of a problem.
Well, I can be wrong...We'll see next Tuesday....
Seems as if "cy" is going to win a prize......
They are going to play against Holland soon. This is going to be a very interesting match.
I doubt it will be interesting. Holland was pretty weak today, although they won the match. My bet is Argentina....
they didnt look that good but at least there werent playing like a one man team(i.e Robben), the played really well in the first half and in the second they were very weak in midfield.

1. Germany 9 (8:2)
2. Ecuador 6 (5:3)
Poland and Costa Rica are not in the competition anymore. Did anybody bet on those countries??? NOOOO!
Good news, isn't it?
Having seen the last play of Germany I think they deserve to win.
I will be watching Sweden - England very carefully to see what Germany's chances are.
