Today's matches included Slovakia's extraordinary defeat of the title holders, leaving Italy languishing below New Zealand at the bottom of the group. Very few people predicted that, and of those even fewer predicted the results of the other matches correctly. reality0junkie would have had a perfect score but for some strange reason thought that the Netherlands would tie with Cameroon. avalon____ , ilovecsr , tokyolights and aisyah156 all called the Dutch and Japanese wins, and the New Zealand-Paraguay draw, but could not bring themselves to contemplate an Italian defeat. sequent_c , frightened_eyes , hani and 10yroldwhizkid also called the Dutch and Japanese wins and even Slovakia's improbable victory, but expected New Zealand (sequent_c ) or Paraguay (the other three) to prevail. (Me? I called the Dutch match right, and will draw a veil over the rest. Please ignore my predictive abilities and consider instead my thoughts on the three point rule.)
