Thrid place Cameroon vs Argentian = Argentina
FINALS: BRAZIL VS PORTUGAL = victory to the colony... Brazil..
France/Brazil = France * Only Brazil has repeated with successive WCup winners medal. So the odds favour Brazil. But I am going against the odds. FRANCE!
Socapro’s Prediction of Final 16 to go thru to next round……. Fri Jun 7 18:25:20 2002 172.183.116.150
Group A qualifiers: Denmark Senegal
Group B qualifiers: Spain South Africa
Group C qualifiers: Brazil Turkey (Unfortunately our top CONCACAF team Costa Rica will not be able to beat Brazil and Turkey)
Group D qualifiers: Korea Poland (As well as the US may be playing at present if they don’t beat Korea then they won’t make it thru to next round. I would like to see The USA make it for CONCACAF’s sake but I am even more impressed with Korea and expect them to make their home advantage count)
Group E qualifiers: Germany Cameroon
Group F qualifiers: England Argentina
Group G qualifiers: Italy Mexico (Well done to Mexico for getting thru to the next round for CONCACF’s sake)
Group H qualifiers: Russia Japan (The Japs will also make their home advantage count)
That is how I see things playing out for the final 16 teams!
