    Ok, here we go:

    20 on Argentina to provide a masterclass against Nigeria.
    10 on a hard battling Greek side to get a 1-0 victory
    and the upset special of the week 15 on the USA to shock the world and win 2-1 against England
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    I'm not sure this counts as an upset prediction because so many people, including a large minority of the English, are expecting it.

    Greece really look like they couldnt care less. No effort no fight no desire, and the coach is just sat there not doing anything showing no concern whatsoever. They all look far too comfortable and in need of a good rollicking at half time.

    South Korea are not impressing me either, they seem to want to make too many passes constantly and have been wasteful in creating chances - even a half decent side wouldve made them pay by now.

    Yes the Greeks look woeful, no ideas at all. Their only game plan was to defend and strike from set pieces but they don't look much good for that either.

    Sch your maths is shocking, no offense, I'm on 107, 92+15 = 107.

    Come on England, I'm thinking we can just shade this by one or so, that'll do, too good for the US.

    Scher, I think you calculated me wrong too. I got the S. Korea game correct and the Argentina game incorrect: 104 + 2 - 5 = 101.

    Not sure if Nigeria was bad or Argentina's defense was that good. Argentina was impressive in the first half, but not so much in the second.

    Neely and Virgil> I am so sorry!

    I blame it on cold medication I have been taking!

    (And isn't it a relief to know that I teach Maths?)

    Hey no problem, actually I'm fighting back a little cold, not fun, but feed it I say.

    Oh no Heskey is playing, as was half expected but, Heskey really, also I was hoping to see Joe Cole behind Rooney, but I'm sure he knows what he is doing.

    You are fighting it back with beer probably; I am a Day/Night Nurse gal.

    Can't stand Rooney.

    I am not a rooney fan but I think the US is a good opponent for him. Really dislike Heskey......

    I am interested to see how the Terry/King partnership will develop
