Big Question: Who’s Going to Win on Day 5?

   

This competition certainly hasn’t lacked for action nor has it lacked for winners and losers. There’s only been one draw thus far. Will that change today? We have another three games on tap, starting with Togo against South Korea. France and Switzerland then square off and the nightcap is Brazil against Croatia. A very interesting day of football lies ahead. Who will come out on top and who will be left crying?

Get your predictions down now or you’ll never be able to tell your friends how smart you were.

    my predictions..

    Togo vs South Korea
    ==>a draw maybe.though the koreans have great palyers
    France vs Switzerland
    ==>the French
    Brazil vs Croatia
    ==>the brazilians are obviously the favourites.so,im going for them.lol.

  • Alessandro

    here i am hoping for some karma payback against the koreans after the last world cup. big hope here for a 0-0 draw since it would take a miracle for togo to win.

    as a swiss i’ll stick to my brother’s prediction of 2:1 for the CH since he’s the expert.

    finally i don’t see croatia winning against brazil but it’s going to be very interesting to see who comes in second in this group

    Togo vs South Korea

    Not convinced of the Korean’s this year. However, it should be enough for Togo.
    ==> 0-2

    France vs Switzerland

    The two teams played eachother in the qualifying round. The match in Paris was a 0-0 draw and the one in Switzerland a 1-1, when Switzerland dominated the French for the whole game. Switzerland got continuously better against France and now it’s time for the big upset!
    ==> 1:2

    Brazil vs Croatia
    Hm. Brazil. Can they pull their individual class into a great team? Clearly the favorite, but also known for being slow starters. This is the World Cup: anything is possible. But…
    ==> 3:2

  • princedesparcs

    I like the Swiss: They’re brash, quick, and talented. But don’t forget that Henry played in neither of the qualifiers v. Switzerland. (It’s Ribery, ZZ and Wiltord in a 4-2-3-1, by the way.) Besides, given what’s been going in that team’s camp of late, CH isn’t so much of a confederation, it seems. So, France and South Korea by two goals each, and Brazil, 2-1.

  • Liquit

    Togo-South Korea

    I’m betting on the experience

    0-2

    France-Switzerland

    If France can begin the match without being nervious,thay should pull this off. I’m betting they will.

    2-1

    Brazil-Croatia

    The only weak point of Brazil is the defense, but why worry on defense when your attack is flawless?

    3-1

  • Keyser

    TOG 0-1 KOR
    will be a sort of eng-par ‘who plays worst football?’
    FRA 1- 2 CH
    The neutral’s choice. Go swiss! I bet a cheese fondue on this one and I want to win it!
    BRA 3-1 CRO
    Brazil will win playing horribly and without even sweating

  • sAM

    Korea/Togo goal draw
    France win by small
    Brazil win by big

    not sure about the score!

  • Kelvin

    I hope Togo beat Korea! Payback for 2002.

    France to win over the Swiss (but should be a very tight game).

    Brazil to win over Croatia.

  • Ali Siddiqui

    Brazil 3 vs. 1 Croatia

    South Korea 2 vs. 0 Togo

    France 2 vs. 1 Switzerland

    After seeing South Korea play back in 2002. WOW!! So they’ll be top on my list…unless they drop like dead weight just as Japan in their first match…ugh!!

    Man, I also feel really bad for Togo. Their morale just be really down. First their coach quits on them and then they have to get ready to play knowing they are the underdogs with perhaps an inexperienced coach!! I’ll secretly be rooting for them to beat Korea. :p

    How’s the weather there Bob? Think it’ll affect the players again leading us to replays of England vs. Paraguay once again?

  • ali

    TOG 1-2 KOR
    FRA 1- 1 CH
    BRA 3-1 CRO
    its my idea

  • Milan

    Looks like iam breaking the trend and going for a Win for Croatia over Brazil, I had a vivid dream (thought I forgot the end score) that won 4-3 or 3-2. It will be a fantastic match.
    France to win 2-0
    South Korea 2-1

  • Igor

    Ooooh.

    France to win 2:1
    South Korea to win 3:1
    Brazil to draw Croatia 1:1 (Croatia’s first ever draw in World Cup).

  • Pablo Santos

    I’m with the trend braker from australia….. Brazil will lose to Croatia… France will definitely win. and South Korea as well.

    Good day mate…

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav elAdi

    Mmmhhh. Cheese fondue. Damn, did you have to say that!

    Before 2002 Korea always sucked. They will again this year.

    Togo being forsaken by their coach? Ha. That’s what you get for being greedy! Instead of being happy and proud to represent their country at the WC for the first time (and cashing 120k) they need to protest and demand 150k. Stupid. I hope they go out hard and quick. Pfister left them because he couldn’t deal with the constant turmoil between team and asociation anymore.

    HOPP SCHWIZ.

  • Ashok

    My Take.
    Togo – SK ( 0 -1)
    France – Swiss ( 1 -0)
    Brazil – Croatia (2 -2)

  • DasBoot

    I don’t think that Korea will have such an impact on this tournament, but they should beat Togo comfortably given their awful preparations.

    Switzerland are a decent bet to get a draw with France, whose manager appears to have caught foaming international manager disease (they should never have let British beef back into France… :-))

    Brazil ought to win, but it won’t be that easy for them. Croatia will play well, but Brazil will still get the result.

  • Claude

    I agree with Milan from Australia. I think Brazil will lose to Croatia. The “Beautiful Game” sucks the big one.
    South Korea 3 Togo 0
    France 2 Switzerland 1
    Croatia 3 Brazil 2

    Ronaldo will be replaced somewhere around half-time. He is out of shape and rusty from his lack of playing in Spain due to injuries. Croatia isn’t one of these push overs like the team from Luzerne.

  • Rich

    Togo 0 South Korea 2
    Very dull

    France 1 Switzerland 2
    I fancy this to be the first big upset of the WC.

    Brazil 3 Croatia 1
    Kaka to score twice

    Man DUmb questio

  • James

    Not sure why alot of people are “worried” about Brazils defence? Reberto Carlos on the left (arguably the bset in thast position in the left) Cafu on the right (4th world cup, vastly experiencd in his position, that there area few players in the Brazilian squad who cant get a place because of him) Then in the middle is Lucio who can be solid (Bayern Munich) and Juan! and there are a few others WAITING on the bench! plus they have a star goalkeeper,-the goalkeeper of AC Milan- DIDA! and their reserve goalkeeper is 1st choice by Inter!! in defenseive midfield they have Arsenal star Gilberto Silva! dont doubt their defnece and we all know their offence!

    The best quote I heard about Brazil is:”the world cups is theirs to loose!”

    this game will be wither 2-0 or 3-0 to them!

  • DT

    The pressure is on for Brazil. They aren’t as spectacular as everyone thinks, but I think they’ll still win this game. One goal margin only.

    There’s no upset so far and there’s only one draw so far. Maybe France vs Switzerland will be the second match that ends up with a draw.

    Togo has no manager and all the players may have other things in their mind. They’ll lose but by 1 goal margin only.

  • bill

    i think the koreans will draw with togo.i doubt the koreans will win as they have little stamina unlike a country from africa.so far,countries from asia like iran and japan,all conceded goals in the last ten mins of the match due to their lack of stamina.the same to the koreans.i think the french would be able to win over the swiss,if not it would be a bad start for them.the brazilians have a strike force that it is way to good for the croations to handle.this match will be a big match.brazil to win 3-1

    JOGO BONITO! At LAST the other 31 teams get to see a completely different game, and moreover the true fans of the game as it should be played do as well. I will credit Crotia as the sternest “test” in that group, but they will be steamrolled 4-0.

    France 2 Switzerland 1

    South Korea 2 Togo 0

  • http://NewYork Frantz

    Brazil – Croatia 1:2
    France – CH 3:0
    Togo – S. Korea 3:1

  • ken

    adebayor (the togolese arsenal player) should be good enough to nick at least a goal off the korean defence. otherwise, i haven’t seen togo play so i’ll just pray for a high-scoring draw with lots of incident!

    like a bad tv detective, i’ve got a feeling that brazil just won’t perform this year. that could be blind hope. croatia will have to be disciplined and clever to get a result, with the players they’ve got they could sneak a draw.

    in the qualifiers, i saw switzerland play eire and was very impressed. hoping they’ll have enough to at least draw with france.

    so, i’m going for
    croatia to win, switzerland to win, and togo-rok draw. just don’t ask why!

  • Nils

    Togo – Korea 1 – 1
    Altough Korea will slightly dominate, but miss the goal

    Switzerland – France 3 – 1
    Damn, France is going to be beaten to pieces

    Brasil – Croatia 3 – 0
    Sorry, but it’s the sad thruth

    Hopp Schwiiz.
