How Did The Predictions Go?

Looking back through the blog it appears I tipped Italy, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina as my four semi-finalists (so 2/4) with Brazil being the winners (nul point)

Lucy tipped Italy as did two other visitors.
Span tipped England and I'm not sure whether Six choose Brazil or England.

What about other people:

The Independent in their pre-tournament magazine named Brazil as winners, with three from Italy, Argentina, Portugal and Germany as semi-finalists.

4-4-2 Magazine said: Spain, France, Germany and Argentina would reach the Quarter-Finals along with losing semi-finalists England and Holland, the final would be between the eventual winners Brazil and Italy.

What is apparent is that nobody expected any surprises, unless you count the eternal optimists who backed England!

  • I wa sbacki ng England from the heart not from the head. What is certain is that nobody in the whole wide world would have put money on a France v Italy final. Even the French or Italians would have had their own country vs. Brazil/Argentina/Germany

  • Martin O'Neil was the only person I know who tipped France.
