Now that the final has been set, a lot of people have been coming out of the woodworks to tell me how they predicted either France or Italy to win it all. Since not everyone put in their predictions before the tournament like many of you did, it isn’t easy to always tell the [...]

After all the games and all the action, we are finally down to two teams. Italy and France will meet on July 9 in Berlin for the right to be named World Cup champion. Before the tournament started we asked you to predict the winner. Some of you said it would be [...]

And then there were four. We’ve worked our way down from 32 teams to just four, each a mere two wins away from lifting the World Cup trophy in Berlin on July 9. Some of you nailed your quarterfinals predictions from last week, while others were off the mark. The vast majority [...]

After some not so great predictions in the first round, we rebounded nicely picking 6 of the 8 remaining teams. How did you do? Here are your predictions from before the tournament, as well as after the first round.

With three excellent days of football in the books, we return to the work week with another slate of interesting games.
