Frank Ribery for France (vs Spain), 27th June 2006

...what do you mean there's no bloody football on today? what the hell am I supposed to do now? watching Property Ladder and Gordon Ramsey on the telly is no bloody consolation.... (well, unless they're showing Switzerland vs Ukraine again on the other side).

**sigh**

Anyway.

Predictions time:

Remember that we're looking for the score at 90 minutes here, although you should have a stab at saying who you think will go through to the next round for bonus points.

Germany 2 - 2 Argentina (with Argentina going through)
Italy 2 - 0 Ukraine
Brazil 1 - 1 France (with France squeaking through)
England 1 - 1 Portugal (in a triumph of hope over experience, England to go through)

And I also need your predictions for the two finalists.

Mine? Italy and France.... well, it might happen, right?

    By the way if I had proper access to the internet at the mo I would have told you all about my day out in Kaiserslautern where I watched Australia get cheated out of their rightful place in the quarters.

  12. Germany 2-2 Argentina (I don't know! Germantina. Guess I have to pick one. Argentina)
    Italy 0-0 Ukraine (this will make the Swiss game look exciting; I pray the Ukrainians do the dull cheats (preferably with a dodgy goal that leads some stupid, corrupt Italian club to sack the Ukrainian goal scorer), but I expect Italy will go through)
    Brazil 1-2 France
    England 2-1 Portugal

    France vs the winner of this afternoon's match. So France v Argentina. Maybe.
