I already got my 5 points for there being goals scored in opening game and it seems to me that I'll be getting my 15 for guessing that Rooney will play before elimination rounds (SUCKAS). He was a sub today and it looks likely that he'll see some action (though it's not likely it'll be the full 90 minutes) before elimination rounds.

I'm so gonna win.

winner, lol i have to be a biased bastard and say spain, of course i do honestly think we have a good chance

final 8....brazil has had a lot of hype and have been playing somewhat well, but not THAT well, the passion they have had in the last 3 world cups is gone...they wont be there

im too lazy to look at what teams could actually be in the final 8 based on groups etc, but il say

spain, england, holland, argentina,germany, ghana(this year's senegal, they were a force to be reckoned with in that second game, they will loose in final 4) and ecuador

top scoring game?
spain vs saudi arabia

I think you're at 30-40 points so far. Many of the predictions wouldn't really be validated until it's all over next Sunday.

Here are the results from the Cubano jury:

Question one: 0 points. Fuckers.

Question two: 28 points. Suckers.

Question three: I ARGUE THAT I GET POINTS FOR THIS! Ronaldo is now the tournaments all-time topscorer, and the question did not specify whether it was this years tournament that we wanted a topscorer for.

Question IV: 5 points. Biaaaaaaaatches.

Question the fifth: 0 points. I hate those greasy assed Argies anyway, so it's a win for me.

Question nummer seks: 0 points. But England would have won 9-0.

Question 0b111: 10 points. Dickwads.

Question LOS OCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: 15 points. This is just too easy.

Question 9: 0 points. So what, I didn't even bother TRYING on this one.

Question X: 0 points. If not for the prejudiced argentinian ref, they would've been!

Question 11: 0 Points. Who cares about silly details like this.

Question 12: 0 Points. I firmly believe that the refs unLAWful use of replays caused the penalty shoot out and I therefore move for a mistrial.

Total: 58 points. Plus 20 for Ronaldo.

MUNCH ON COCK!
