Big Question: Who’s Going to win the Opening Matches?

Actually, I agree with those predictions. Although of all the combinations, only Germany losing would be a surprise to me.

Germany 2:1 Costa Rica
Poland 1:1 Ecuador

pol – ecu 1:0 (or 1:1)
ger – crc 0:1

without Ballack, Germany will will 2:0.

Ecuador will beat Poland 2:1.

Germany 2 Costa Rica 1
Ecuador 1 Poland 0

Vamos Tricolor!!!

Germany 3, Costa Rica 1

Ecuador 1, Poland 0

Germany 3, Costa Rica 1

Ecuador 1, Poland 0

Germany 3 – Costa Rica 0

Poland 3 – Ecuador 1

Germany 3-1 Costa Rica
Ecuador 2-0 Poland

Germany 3
Costa Rica 0

Poland 3
Ecuador 0

Where do I pick up the winnings?

Germany 2 : 0 Costa Rica
Poland 1 : 3 Ecuador

Germany will win by two goals against Costa Rica – either 3:1 (which I believe is the most likely) or 2:0. Poland will clinch difficult three points from Ecuador – 2:1, being the most likely score.

That especially if you are looking for the surprises.

I’ll play the devil’s advocate here, let the games begin with Costa Rica shocking the Ballack-less Germans 2-1

Then Poland over Ecuador by the same score.

Germany 3-0 Costa Rica

Poland 2-1 Ecuador

The statistics is 0.8 of average goals on world cup opening matches. So I will bet a conservative Germany 1 Costa Rica 0. Germany is playing as locals, don’t think they will lose.

Germany 1-1 Costa Rica

Poland 1-2 Ecuador

you are right gabriel.. Germany will not loose…

COSTA RICA 1 GERMANY 1

here it here first…

Poland 2 ecuador 0

GERMANY 3:0 COSTA RICA
POLAND 2:2 ECUADOR

GERMANY 1:0 COSTA RICA
POLAND 0:0 ECUADOR

Germany 2:0 Costa Rica
Ecuador 1:0 Poland

GERMANY 2:0 COSTA RICA
Poland 1 : 2 Ecuador

Germany 5:1 Costa Rica
Poland 3 : 4 Ecuador

Germany 4:2 Costa Rica
Poland 2 : 3 Ecuador

Germany 0-17 Svalbard

Germany 3 : 0 Costa Rica
Poland 2 : 0 Ecuador

Unfortunately I can’t say anything positive about the two losing countries they’re just not good enough. Germany and Poland will be on top of them both.

i Know that the underdog will be the last team standing and that will be trinidad and tobago

T&T vs Sweden: 3-1

T&T vs England:2-1

Go Trinidad and Tobago I am behind the team 199%. I know that none of the countries want anything to do with us.I am a soca warrior

Germany 3-1 Costa Rica
Ecuador 2-1 Poland

Germany 2-1 Costa Rica
Costa Rica to take the lead first. Germany to hit back in the 2nd half.
Poland 1-1 Ecuador

1. From June 9 to July 9, 2006, you may have the sports section of the newspaper and any special pullout that comes with it. You shall not have access to the other sections of the newspaper. What good are they when all you can think of is the World Cup. It is a fact that men can’t multi-task. They can’t multi-think either.

2. I will clear out the utility-cum-storeroom and move in the little spare TV so you can watch all the football you want. There, you can vegetate and sprout roots for all I care. Should visitors come a calling, I shall be spared the embarrassment of having to make excuses for an unshaven, unkempt, unsociable misfit.

3. Rest assured that I won’t be standing nude in front of the TV during this period. I know you won’t notice even if I’d had breast enhancement and turned into a D-cupper, as the only cup on your mind is the one in Germany.
Rest assured that this period of abstinence will drag on for another month or more. Once I get used to not having a sleeping partner, it’ll be hard to do a 180-degree turn. So you’ll have to inch your way back into my bed.

4. I don’t expect you to do anything around the house during the games. I wouldn’t ask you to open the door, put the kettle on, feed the dog, water the plants or bring the shopping in from the car. I would not even dare interrupt to ask you to eat, so you’ll have to prepare your own meals when hunger strikes. If you’re too up caught in the game, there’s always pizza delivery. Look up the number in the phone book.

5. There will be no beer in the fridge or munchies in the larder. With you being sedentary, I don’t wish to further jeopardise your health by stocking up on junk food. Instead, there will be plenty of mineral water to quench your thirst with and carrots and green apples to nibble on during half time. If your friends come over to watch the games, you can have your male-bonding sessions in the utility room. As long as you keep the door closed and your buddies spray themselves with deodorant before coming out, I’m OK.

6. If your team loses and I say something, I risk treading on your fragile ego. But if I keep mum, you may think I don’t love you. So I might as well go all the way and say: “Serves you right for supporting such a lousy team. Can’t you see that the champion is a leg up on this? Huh! And you call yourself a football expert!”

7. I do not want scraps of your time and affection. So you won’t see me cuddling up to you during half time like a hungry dog. I will serve time as a football widow and when the World Cup ends, you’ll have to wine and dine me all over again if you want to get back into my good books.

8. You’re most welcome to watch endless replays of goals. See Rule #2.

9. I shall not include you in any social gathering during this hallowed period. I can easily make up excuses for you. However, if you miss your grandmother’s birthday, your parents’ wedding anniversary or your nephew’s full-moon celebration, I shall leave you to concoct your own reasons. Some words of caution:
a) You will be left out of the family will.
b) You will be left out of the family will.
c) You will be left out of the family will.

10. If your friend invites you to his house to watch a game, please go. I will hire a racing car to get you there. At last, I will get some peace and not have “GOAL!” and “Stupid referee!” coming out of my ears.

11. You’re most welcome to watch the daily World Cup highlights. See Rule #2.

12. I will never say, “Thank God the World Cup is only every four years”, because I know after it come the European Championships, Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, Premier League, Football League, etc. I’ll shut up and let you have your fun while I take your car, cash and credit cards and paint the town red.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Women of the World

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.

Germany 1 – 1 Costa Rica

Poland 1 – 1 Ecuador

Deutschland 4 Costa Rica 1
Poland 2 Ecuador 1
Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles ueber alles in der Welt.

Germany 2 Costa Rica 0
Ecuador 1 Poland 1

Germany 1 – 1 Costa Rica
Poland 1 – 0 Ecuador

Germany of course wins.

Germany will beat Costa Rica, probably only 1-0 though. I expect Poland to hammer Ecuador though, they’re only at the World Cup because their stadium is 9,000 feet above sea level, they really have no business representing South America at this World Cup, there are much better teams which are sitting at home right now.

I think we may be in for a suprise, nah only joking. A germany win is expected, though i think it will be by a very tight (if not problematic) margin. Poland will be victors against ecuador – the entertainment level will be on the same par as my polish tongue (non exsistent!!)

GERMANY – COSTA RICA 4-0

POLAND – ECUADOR 3-0
Just like a half year ago.

GERMANY – COSTARICA 4-0
No doubt who’s better.

POLAND – ECUADOR 3-0
Just like a half year ago.

germany shall lose, just like france lost to senegal in the opening match of the last world cup. x))

germany 1 – 2 costa rica

Ger 4:1 C-R
Pol 3:1 Ecu

Interesting to see all the Hispanic aliased predictions from the US all in favor of Ecuador hehe…I think it’s more of a racial pride rather than sense though..I am from Poland originally but not swayed by my pride, just trying to be realistic…and IMHO, the UK based fans have more common sense in their predictions. Whichever way it all goes, as long as the games shall be played and conducted in a fair way – may the better teams win.
That’s as fair as can be stated.
;)

Deutschland 2 – 0 Costa Rica

Germany 3: Costa Rica 0

Poland 1: Ecuador 0

This is the beginning of great World Sporting event and Let us all enjoy this once-in-4-years affair.

Germany 3 Costa Rica 1

Two surprises:

Germany 1 Costa Rica 1
Ecuador 2 Poland 1

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.

my priction about the game GERMANY will win costarica by 2 to 1

pol 2 costarica 2

pol 2 ecuador 2

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.
Click on TheEye up to check out my entire analysis of the group stage at theeyeblog.wordpress.com

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.

Ecuder vs poland 2:1

Germany 4:2 Costa Rica
Ecuador 2:0 Poland

I feel strongly about this.

germany won 4 costa rica lost 2!!!
ecuador got a suprising victory over poland!!!! 0:2

anywayz i dunt really care, i kno 99.9% sure that brazil will win, if not then 4 sure germany.

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.

Argentina Campeón del mundo con baile incluido

the rigth thing to know and to do is that i am 100per sure that Bresil is goig to win 2-0 at 2:00.

Brezil win 3-0

Thanks ..
