The Ivory Coast are not going home today,
they will beat Holland by at least 2 goals.

Sorry to be saying goodbye to some of you after only 2 games

Talking of which that was rather greedy of Pete already having Italy and Brazil you could have done the decent thing and Angola lost

OK, I've updated the state of play thread.
Looks like I'm going to lose a third team today if Ukraine don't pull their fingers out. And my best shot at a prize (France) were rubbish yesterday.
Which jammy bastard drew Argentina?

Never fear they have "peaked" way too soon

I don't believe in that theory.
After all, a team can't peak too soon or too late in a full season can they? Players don't just turn it on for seven games and then turn it off again. So why should they start doing it in a major tournament such as this?
Argentina will almost certainly be in the top three finishers.
England won't make the quarters at their current rate - we're not going to be peaking any time soon unless we sort ourselves out.

Soup Dragon... In reply to your Haiku, yes I am still happy with the Argies, I am torn though, as before the sweepskate, I put a £5 bet on Holland to win the world cup....

I fear they could be out today as Aussie only need a draw and have looked quite useful (unlucky to lose 2-0 to Brazil).....Unfortunately either tc or root will be out of the sweepstake today.....

Could be worse Sam, at least they now can't meet again until the final so you could still collect money both through your bet and the sweepstake
