Mr. Cleo's World Cup Predictions...



Aaaaahhhhh...... It begins. Before I start, I need to clarify something... No, I do NOT have crystal balls (ha ha ha). And with that, my World Cup predictions:

Group A winner: South Africa - nobody else is used to playing with those annoying horns (Vuvuzela) blaring in their ears. (btw, i thought these things were mexican until this world cup. i think more of my latino brethren now...)
Group A runner-up: Mexico - this team plays well together with a discernible style of play (unlike a trainwreck that is Les Blues...)

Group B winner: Argentina - Maradona aside... wow, what a team.
Group B runner-up: Nigeria - Africa-bump (part 2)

Group C winner: USA - U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A! (ok... i'll stop)
Group C runner-up: England - Looks like Roon won't have to grow that beard just yet...

Group D winner: Ghana - Africa-bump (part 3)
Group D runner-up: Germany

Group E winner: Holland
Group E runner-up: Denmark - sorry Cameroon. No bump here. And please don't blame Eto'o...

Group F winner: Paraguay - attack attack attack.
Group F runner-up: Italy - an oldie but goodie will get out of this group.

Group G winner: Brazil - obviously...
Group G runner-up: Ivory Coast - Africa-bump (part 4)

Group H winner: Spain
Group H runner-up: Honduras - a little CONCACAF respect anyone?

Round of 16 winners: South Africa (beats Nigeria), Argentina (beats Mexico), USA (beats Germany), England (beats Ghana), Holland (beats Italy), Denmark (beats Paraguay), Brazil (beats Honduras), Spain (beats Ivory Coast) -- sorry Africa-bump... the dream ends here for all but the hosts. And sorry to Italia. A very strong Dutch side with man-of-the-tourney Van Persie will see you off easily I'm afraid.

Quarterfinals: USA (beats South Africa), England (beats Argentina), Holland (beats Brazil), Spain (beats Denmark) -- it's just like America to ruin a nation like this... adaboy. Van Persie strikes again.

Semifinals: Spain (beats England), Holland (beats USA)

Champion: Spain (beats Holland) -- Spain is the new Brazil. You heard it here folks...

. . .
Now that we've got that out of the way... GO WATCH THE GAMES!!!
