World Cup Bluffs #3

Annnd we're back to the start again. Time for the second matches of Group A. Where the French can screw me over again, no doubt.

Let's start off by talking a look at yesterdays results where, if I'm not mistaken, I made more fatal errors than Michael Jackson's doctor. Remember, I'm going to stick to footballing tradition and hand out points on a 0,1,3 basis. 3 points for the correct result and score, 1 point for the correct result and no points for messing it totally up.

HONDURAS V. CHILE 

Actual Result: Chile win 1-0
Dara Predicts:
Honduras win 1-0
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts: Honduras win 3-0
Goddammit Honduras! Both me and 2010 FIFA World Cup backed the underdogs, last time I'll do that! No points for anyone.

SPAIN V. SWITZERLAND 

Actual Result: Switzerland win 1-0 
Dara Predicts:
Spain win 2-0
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts: Spain win 3-1
What ? How could anybody look past the Spanish? This World Cup is kicking my ass so far. No points for anyone.

SOUTH AFRICA V. URUGUAY 

Actual Result: Uruguay win 3-0.
Dara Predicts:
Uruguay win 1-0
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts
: Draw 1-1
In the first match where our results differed, I was nearer the mark than 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. One point for me for guessing that Uruguay would win.

POINTS

Now, onto today's matches.

ARGENTINA V. SOUTH KOREA

Dara Predicts: Argentina win 3-0
Argentina were denied a hatful of goals by the Nigerian goalkeeper in their previous match and I think they're only getting started.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts: Argentina win 1-0
Argentina scrape through by a Higuaín goal.

GREECE V. NIGERIA

Dara Predicts: Nigeria win 1-0
Don't like the look of Greece at all. I don't see them overcoming the pace of Nigeria
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts:
Greece win 1-0
A well worked set piece sees the Greeks collect their first points of the tournament.

FRANCE V. MEXICO

Dara Predicts: France win 2-1
I think this will be the turnaround for France. Nobody is giving them a chance and that seems to be when France works best
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Predicts: France win 4-0
4-0 eh? According to FIFA SA, Anelka will have a stormer.

We'll be back tomorrow to see if I can get any wronger.
