I write this a day before the knock-out rounds of the Football World cup are about to start.
First, a question which many of friends have been asking on who am i supporting in this world cup. Having lived and worked in Latin America and with a large network of Latin American friends, it is a difficult question to anwer.
However, i have made a small algorithm, which determines my order of support in a football match. The pecking order (of my support) is -
1) Underdog
2) Brazil
3) Rest of Latin America
4) Africa
5) Europe
While that is the order of support, i have made my predictions on the remainder of the tournament- its knockout phase.The forecasts below are based on a concocted mix of the heart and the mind.
Enjoy the speculation:
1) Argentina vs Switzerland = Winner Argentina. Score 2-0
2) Brazil vs Chile = Winner Brazil. Score 2-1
3) Colombia vs Uruguay= Winner Colombia. Score 3-2
4) Netherlands vs Mexico= Winner Mexico. Score 1-1. Win on Penalties.
5) Costa Rica vs Greece= Winner Costa Rica. Score 2-0
6) france vs Nigeria= Winner France. Score 2-1
7) Germany vs Algeria= Winner Germany. Score 3-1
8) Belgium vs USA= Winner USA. Score 2-1
----------------------------------------------------
Then, the quarters
1) Brazil Vs Colombia = Winner Brazil. Score 2-2. Win on Penalties
2) Mexico Vs Costa Rica = Winner Costa Rica. Score 1-0
3) France vs Germany = Winner Germany. Score 3-0
4) Argentina vs USA = Winner Argentina. Score 2-1
----------------------------------------------
Semis
1) Germany vs Brazil = Winner Germany. Score 2-1
2) Argentina vs Costa Rica = Winner Argentina. Score 3-1
-------------------------------
Finals
Germany vs Argentina = Winner Argentina. Score 3-2
third Place-
Brazil vs Costa Rica = Winner Brazil. Score 4-0
--------------------------------
Yours in soccer,
