My World Cup prediction: 87.5% right so far!

So far I predicted 7 out of 8 winners right

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.

Who do you think will become the next football champion of the world?
