Title: Your choice for World Cup winner
Post by: eye30 on June 07, 2014, 12:58:04
Although the tournament starts next Thursday, 12 June 2014, the Poll will be open until the following Wednesday, i.e. 18 June 2014.

This date is after each team has played 1 game to allow you to assess the current form of all the teams in the competition.

If you wish you can up to the closing date change your initial selection or subsequent selection.


You can only vote for 1 team.

ps
Please add a post to say who you have selected so the nonprize can be sent to you at the end

A more important question is whether Australia can win a game.
Or even draw one.  :p

My choice:

Brazil.

BTW, a bit of useless trivia for all the football buffs.  Who was the only team to go through the last FIFA World Cup in South Africa, undefeated?

You'll get a prize of a smiley face and a gold star if you get it right.

Two of those three were only the first and second place getters in the last FIFA World Cup, but as somebody more famous than me said, "If you want to be the best in the world, you have to beat the best in the world."

Can't we a bit more liberal and democratic and change the voting system to proportional representation so we get a coalition of winners.

From Wiki...

The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as "Holland", which in strict usage, refers only to North and South Holland, two of its provinces. Since these two provinces are the most populous and famous of the Netherlands, they often serve as a metonym for the entire country. Referring to the Netherlands as Holland is technically incorrect[16][17] or informal,[18] depending on the context, but is more acceptable when referring to the national football team.[19]

All very interesting but irrelevant to my comment that they've placed the word "Holland" in the alpha spot for "Netherlands"

Wagner wrote an opera called in German "Der Fliegen Hollander", which is known in England as "The Flying Dutchman".

Maybe that helps ?? Though probably not.  :confused:
