We don't disagree very much... wow. Where we do:

Portugal has Ronaldo... if he's hot, yes, you're right. If not... Uruguay

I don't think the France vs Argentina match will be close... except in 'score'. France won't score much... true, but Argentina will get very few chances.

Just not seeing in Spain what you do. But like you and RamUK have both said... thing's 'build'.... so if Spain can suddenly find the 'on' button.. maybe... but I won't believe it until I see it.

Sweden looked great to me in their last match... I'm basing my prediction on that. They have it in them.

England is the hardest for me to predict....They can look 'great'....never 'bad' IMHO.. but they CAN look unmotivated, or lackadaisical. If they come out lackadaisical, (cautious), they lose. - JamesJM
