By: WC Bob | June 9th, 2006 | 79 Comments »

Finally, the World Cup is upon us. Today we see a couple of Group A clashes with the hosts Germay taking on Costa Rica, and Poland squaring off against Ecuador. You’ve had months to study the teams and predict the group winners. Today’s your chance to predict the outcome of these two games.

Go ahead and tell us what the final score will be for each match. My predictions:

Germany 1 Costa Rica 0
Poland 1 Ecuador 1

Germany 3 - 0 Costa Rica

Brazil will win the Cup again because of Ronald, Ronaldhino and others that work as a well-oiled machine.

I grew up in Costa Rica, these people have heart, they play with their whole heart, it would be good if they could get a goal, it would be heard around the world!!!!! GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

i would say:

Germany 2 - 1 Costa Rica

I think at first the jerry would become very nervous and Costa Rica will take the opportunity. But there is a myth that the home team always wins.

I have posted my predictions on itoldyouso.com, that Germany will win 3 - 0. So don’t be surprised when you get a crtficiate from that website that I was right and that I told you so. You can do that as well, it is free.

Well I guessed right about the two goals difference in the first game. Although if not for a referee mistake, it should have been three.

Poland is way too strong for Ecuador or Costa Rica..one of the great games will be the offensive outburst next Wednesday between Germany and Poland. Two decent keepers will be bombarded…Look for Poland to draw or even win with a Ballack-less Germany..If I had to bet a testicle on it, then Germany 3:Poland 3. If Ballack is healthy, then Germany wins the group.

Perhaps We don’t understand the scores. Ecuador won 2 x 0 to Polonia and Costa Rica 3 x 0. I believe that This Team will be a sorprise in this World Cup.
