well, I'm gonna put down Brazil...

Me too but I would love it if Korea won.

I voted for Brazil too. It would not suprise me if South Korea made it through to the final although the matches against Italy and Spain may have taken to much out of them.

I voted Korea. I think they have a really good chance of beating Germany, and if they do so, they 'won' already. I do think that in a Brazil-Korea final they will loose.:(

:goodjob: Korea :goodjob:

I vote for Korea.

I hate them, but with their ability in and out of the pitch they can win virtually anything.

Voted Korea too.

As i'm saying over and over, I don't want Brazil in the lead in any pool in this forum.

However my effort seens futile, as it is in the lead already.

Too bad. Hope this guess is more sucessfull than the previous.

I'm delighted that Korea got this far, but I don't want them to win, or even get to the final.

This world cup has earned it's reputation of not having one single entirely world class team. Having Korea get to the final would be overkill. No offence to Koreans.

I want Brazil to win for this sake. Equally I could say I want Germany to win, but frankly Germany have been uninspiring throughout. Brazil's attacking flair would at least please the crowds.

Well done to Turkey. I feel that even if there had been one or two entirely world class sides in this competition, they still were capable of getting to the semis.

Turkey are probably the second best team left in the competition but they don't have as much luck as S Korea and Germany, so they will lose to Brazil and then Brazil will win in the final...I would quite like to see Turkey win, or S Korea...

Turkey look like being a decent chance to reach the final. But I'm on Brazil winning a fifth title. :) With any luck Korea will join them in the final, but Germany always seem to hurtle across the line when it counts.

Germany !!!!!!!!! :goodjob:

Korea!

vs Turkey in the final match. :lol:

I´d really love that, it would teach all those arrogant millionaires a lesson.
:D

I am pulling for South Korea - I'd love to see an Asian team finally take home the Cup. (hmmm well I guess Turkey is also Asian, but I always think of them as quasi-European).

I don't think the koreans can have more luck, it has to end sometimes. I don't see how the turks can win either. It must be either germany or brazil, but I don't think any of these teams have impressed, so I think brazil will win again.

Turkey is European.

Yes but most of the country is technically in Asia...

Well at least it is considered European with anything that has to do with football :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they play their internationals via UEFA?

If so, from a football perspective, they are European (the same way that Russia is considered European for hockey tournaments)

Oh, and I voted Germany. Call it bias, but really, I think there's a sound argument that the discipline combined with Ollie Kahn's acrobatics will take the day.

South Korea are probably coming to the end of their line. Cinderella teams usually take the slide out at this point. Though I'd really like to see them pull it off (though not at Germany's expense)

In a sporting context then they are European, but from a geographical point of view, they are mostly in Asia. European leagues tend to be more exciting and appealing so thats probably why Turkish teams chose Europe over Asia. Also Turkey want to join the EU...

could someone sticky this?? plz

And unsticky or delete the other one.

I hope that Korea will win a Brazil - Korea final. Realisticly Brazil would be the winner of that final but I am biased because of fellow countryman Guus Hiddink!

As one can guess from my previous postings, I would like Korea to win, but Turkey is ok as well. As long as it's not either Europe or South America. (Altough Turkey played as a part of Europe in the qualifying matches)

I picked Italy in the final eight (and they lost)

So I now pick Germany in the final four. (No jinx)
