In one of my previous posts, just before the Round of 16 of the World Cup games started, I predicted these results and winners:
I guess it's a pity I haven't been betting, hehe. I could earn a lot of money by now ;-) Sure, I did not get the actual result right in any of these games. But it's about the winners now, the results don't matter anymore. The only mistake I made was giving England too much credit. I didn't follow my reason, but my heart. I really rooted for them and thought they will be strong enough and a bit lucky to beat the Germans. Sadly, that wasn't the case. I should've followed my mind and predict Germans as the winners and I'd have all 8 games right. But still, 7 out 8 is amazing, don't you think? Does that qualify me as a psychic already? :-P
Looking forward to the games ahead, I think I made some good predictions for the quarter finals. Since I think Argentina has the best chance to win the trophy, it did not matter to me whether they have to play the Germans or the English, in any case, I predict that they will move on. Of course it will be very hard to beat Germany, but I think they can. Both teams are excellent and I think it will be a big drama with many twists and turns and a lot of goals.
I must admit that betting on the Netherlands in the game with Brazil was not based on reason either. Brazil are definitely stronger, but I always think that one "big" team doesn't make it due to bad luck or something unpredictable. That's the only reason I didn't put Brazil into the finals. Sure, they're besides Germany and Argentina the top contenders for the final victory. But we'll see. I'll stick to my predictions from June 26.
