Well, I'm not going to try and predict scores not knowing anything about any teams, but I do hope the US can pull off wins against Italy and Ghana.
Edit: or at least better than they played yesterday.
Italy's subtleties and patience (as well as their aerial ability) in attack will be too much for the u.s. to cope with. Italy's defence will make the u.s' attacking play look pathetic, and their midfielders won't be able to get near the ball with Totti and Pirlo spraying the ball left and right.
I've a feeling Ghana will be up for the game more than any other.

Originally posted by Freddie2006I also had Germany and Poland to draw.
Sevenstar takes the lead with 3 points; the only person to correctly predict the score.
Everyone else is on 1 point, except Ragnorak, Gatecrasher, Nicklus Persson and malinga who all predicted Poland got a win or draw.
Got some catching up to do
