More than just Mountains/Hills

More than just Mountains/Hills


Postby mountainboy12 » Tue May 13, 2014 8:01 pm

The Brazil World Cup 2014 is only less than a month Away and I'm wondering if Anyone is...
Watching Any Games
Going to Any Games
Who Do You Think Will Win?
and what will the score be in the final?

I'm watching every game
Final Prediction
(1 Goal for Reus) Germany 1-2 Argentina (2 Goals for Messi)
so Argentina for the win This Year

If Brazil don't win there will be riots, ergo Brazil will win, probably by a bucketload. :D

I'll be watching paint dry. :lol:

I'll be watching them all.
England will of course win.
Smashing Brazil 3-0 in the final with Rooney grabing a hat trick.
and being made a Sir.

or maybe I wont be bothered to watch any.
Didnt someone win lots of money in the past predicting the opening group games ended 0-0.
Every team is scared of losing their first game.

Have to admit that I don't think I'll be watching much of it at all - possibly the odd bit here and there but not whole matches. Would probably be different if Scotland were playing.................. :roll:

I will watch every minute - unless it's a Saturday and I'm on a hill. In the past, I regret to admit, I have been in the ABE camp. This year I will buy an England strip and flag and hope that they bring home the trophy.........................................that's would, at least, result in a 10% swing in the poll!

There’s a chap who lives in a wee village just outside Dunfermline called Oakley. His back garden backs onto the A907 road from Dunfermline to Stirling. At the bottom of his garden, this guy has a proper flagpole. Whenever England are playing at the WC or a Euro Championships and Scotland aren’t (which, let’s face it, is every two years these days :( ), this guy flies the flags of England’s group stage opponents. :lol:

He’s renowned / notorious locally. :crazy: The local newspaper does a piece about him every time the WC comes round. I think he must have ‘issues’, but I’m relatively confident he’ll be voting Yes on 18th September. :?

I'm hoping Germany win cos I got them in the sweepstake at work.
Plus, I can speak a little German so if they play england, when it goes to a penalty shootout I can blend in with the german fans :lol:

[i]"More importantly what IS football?"

It is a disease of the foot picked up by hillwalkers by stubbing their toe on a rock followed by a bite from a tick. :shock: :lol:
