Title: Who do you think will win the World Cup?
Post by: eye30 on May 31, 2010, 13:18:57: The Poll allows you to have up to 2 votes so you can support your national team, if you wish to but no obligation, and also vote for the team you feel will eventually win the World Cup.

Closing date is 10 June 2010 i.e the day before the World Cup begins.

As I said previously - No one voted for Holland (Netherland)

All will be revealed by 9:20pm BST so long as no extra time/penalty shootout (10:20pm South Africa time) on Sunday.

Post by: eye30 on July 10, 2010, 17:19:04: Paul the "psychic" octopus has a rival: a Singapore parakeet which correctly predicted all four winners in the World Cup quarter-finals has picked the Netherlands to trump Spain for the championship

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100709/tod-psychic-parakeet-picks-netherlands-a-1066d3e.html

Also, a chimp is in on the act predicting Holland

The Netherlands will beat Spain in the looming World Cup final, according to a chimpanzee-turned-pundit in an Estonian zoo.
The only problem is that Pino the ape may be biased because he was born in Amsterdam.
