Gringo’s Guide To The World Cup, Part 2, With Poll

(10 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

There are two very big games coming up.  They are semi-finals.  That means that the winners meet to decide who takes home the World Cup.  The final final is on July 11, 2010.

The two games that are semi finals:

Tuesday, 2:30 pm EDT Uruguay v. Netherlands

Wednesday, 2:30 pm EDT Germany v. Spain

Join me below for El Prognostico.

The conventional experts pick the Netherlands  to beat Uruguay.  Almost everybody agrees with some caution thrown in.

The experts, including the venerable Marcelo Balboa think Germany will stomp on Spain because Spain’s offense isn’t working (that’s you they’re talking about, Sr. Torres).

There.  Now you know everything you need to know about this. And you have some good data.  Go ahead and vote in the poll (you get three votes in this poll, two, one for each of the the semis, and one for the final).  I assure you you know as much as any of the experts.  Just don’t bet the ranch on the results.

  1. again.  Netherlands 1 – 0 Uruguay.  Spain 2 – 1 Germany.  Spain 2 – 1 Netherlands in the final.

  2. I have tomorrow off & I’m all for Uruguay.

    And my friend the pub owner basically said I can watch the game on his other TV set.

    So maybe (for a change) I will actually get to see part of the World Cup.  Here’s hoping….

  3. and I am torn between Spain and Germany.

  4. after end of 1st half. Great game

  5. Netherlands will most likely be headed to the final

  6. Netherlands 3/Uruguay 2 In overtime

    1. should have been added when the game was disrupted by reporters on the playing field. It was really getting “hot” in those last minutes

  7. I hope Spain beats Holland’s butt in the finals.

    The Nederlanders played like thugs.  One foul was so egregious even I called foul.  And I’m no insider when it comes to sports.

  8. Spain seems to be more in control of the ball. I love the way they move across the field
