Ok, I’ll bite.
NO.
The Dutch or the Brits will win. The Argentinians will do OK, but their typically unsportsmanlike play will get the ref offside in the quarter finals, and he’ll make life hard for them.
Brazil will look good, but lack a little substance. Like their print/poster work.
I’m predicting a Dutch, England final. In the first half, it’ll be the orange shirts playing all over the poms. But by the second half, the poms will have turned orange themselves in the sun, and their game will improve accordingly.
Final Score: Netherlands 8, England 5. Player of the match: some bloke with Van in his name.
Too busy looking at that hot bikini to care.
