[JacobMth]

What are peoples predictions for tonights World Cup matches? Im going with a narrow German victory in the first game. I have had a since the match was confirmed that Columbia are going to cause upset tonight and knock Brazil out! Will have to wait and see.

Apparently the Germans are suffering from a bout of flu in the camp so I've got my fingers crossed for France.
As for Brazil, provided they don't get a 'homer' ref as they have in a couple of games they're on a sticky wicket IMHO and their defence looks as fragile as the walkway to the Maracana:

You are right about the Brazilian defence! Columbia are dangerous going forward aswell...But so are Brazil. Aslong as they watch for the counter attacks i think Columbia stand a very good chance.

I am doing a World Cup fantasy competition so had to try to decide which teams may stay in, and which teams may go out, to try to decide who to leave in my team.

I agree with others that Columbia have a good chance of beating Brazil.

Brazil have been very poor (in my fantasy league only Neymar has a decent number of points (38), the rest are low with Luiz (18) second top for Brazil)

Whereas Columbia have Rodriguez on 70 fantasy points and 7 players between 20 and 29 fantasy points.

So 7 Columbia players have more fantasy points than Brazils second top scoring fantasy player (Luiz).

I predict Columbia to win.

The other game is more difficult as I would have said Germany for definite (despite the fact they play with no centre forward) but now they have had flu that may weaken them near the end of the game so I think this game is very close.

Probably go to penalties and then you have to favour Germany.

both games decided by penalties

Well....The question is now Germany or Brazil? My money is on Germany! Banking on a Costa Rica win tommorow to keep my underdog dream alive!
