Your Second Round Predictions

   

The eight games of the second round are set, but before the kickoff you’ll want to show the world how smart you are by predicting who is going to win. If you are like me and your first round predictions stunk worse than Serbia and Montenegro, now is your chance to redeem yourself. If you were smarter than the average bear with your first round predictions here is another opportunity for you to shine.

The second round matches are:

24 June
Germany vs. Sweden
Argentina vs. Mexico

25 June
Ecuador vs. England
Portugal vs. Netherlands

26 June
Italy vs. Australia
Switzerland vs. Ukraine

27 June
Brazil vs. Ghana
Spain vs. France

My choices: Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Spain

I know, not many surprises, but I learned my lesson when I picked Ivory Coast and Serbia and Montenegro to advance from the first round.

What are your second round predictions?

    I think the passion with which the underdogs Ecuador, Ghana and Australia qualified will help them overcome rivals that are not on top of there game.

    Germany
    Argentina
    Ecuador
    Netherlands
    Australia
    Switzerland
    Ghana
    Spain

    We will see Argentina v Spain in the final.

  • Dave Hamilton

    This is where the MONEY is made, gents.

    I will include the predicted scores (as of now) as well… main thing here though is to predict winners, and they will be:

    Germany 2-1
    Argentina 3-1
    Australia 1-0
    Switzerland 2-0
    England 2-0
    Portugal 3-2
    Brasil 3-0
    France 2-1

    Dave hamildav@yahoo.com

  • Nherya

    Germany, Argentina, italy, portugal, ukranie, spain, brazil and england

  • Kasam

    Right lets try

    Germany – home support and scoring goals – Swedes not hit form at all,
    Argentina v Mexico – in last years Confederations – I believe it was a draw between the two teams – but Argentina should come through,
    England – will come through, but Ecuador will cause Sven’s Men another fright,
    Ghana – controversial – they have the physical game to cause biggest upset of the tournament
    Australia – the gutsy performance they showed could be the key to unlock the Italian defence,
    Ukraine or Swiss- going for Swiss – though could go either way – both are worst teams in last 16.
    Portugal v Holland – best game on paper – Portugese to come through.
    Spain v France – again on paper huge game, but Spain are in form, France look a shadow of the team from their glory years

  • troy

    germany – home support, although swedes will attack hard, hope germanies defense will hold up. score 2-1

    argentina will be too strong for mexico 3-0 easily

    if ever there was going to be an upset i think this game is it. england werent that convincing in the group stage. but i think perhaps a penalty shoot out will decide this one with england getting over the line.

    netherlands 2-1 against portugal

    australia to upset italy, australia will be too strong in attack and fitness. 2-1

    ukraine or swis well who cares really, none of them will make the final. swis 1-1 win on penalties

    brazil will probably have problems against a side with flare and excitement to match there own. but too much experience for me with brazil to win 1-0

    spain is my tip for the cup with argentina so i think a 2-0 win is on the cards.

  • http://australia.worldcupblog.org vlado

    Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Australia, Ukraine, Brazil, Spain

  • eowu

    germany 1-1
    argentina 2-0
    england 2-0
    netherlands 2-1
    italia 2-2
    switzerland 2-1
    spain 4-2
    brasil 3-1

    my heart is with ghana, aussies and sweden

    i hope the netherlands will win but i think argentina will…what a team!

  • BadBob

    First I’d like to say thank you to all those non-Australians that believe in us.

    Sweden
    Argentina
    Ecuador
    Portugal
    Australia
    Switzerland
    Spain
    Ghana

    I am truly looking forward to the Brazil – Ghana match – and the biggest upset in football history.

  • Werttrew

    I am going with the #1 seeds in each case, although Switz-Ukraine could easily fall Ukraine’s way.

  • Naivette

    Sweden
    Mexico
    Ecuador
    Portugal
    Australia
    Ukraine
    France
    Ghana

    Favourites are overated!

  • enzo

    Most of us got the first two correct, so far.

  • Bhakta

    Germany-Argentina
    England – Holland
    Italy – Switzerland
    Brazil – Spain

  • Kasam

    Yep nearly everyone got first two correct, be interesting what kind of odds you would get on an accumulator bet or something. Any ideas?Should have done a collective pool ;-)
    Also I even somehow managed to highlight Mexico & Argentina would be close, and Germans would be far too strong for Swedes. Lets see what happens with others…today’s Games: England to make a meal of what should be an easy game – though heat might yet be another factor – 35C – lets hope referees are sensible about letting players take fluids onboards. Portugal v Holland – should be one for the purists with both teams technical abilities. Portugese to come through in a close game. You heard it here first. ps anyone in Berlin – I’m coming for the Final – cannot wait!!
