World Cup Howlers

by whodunnit (U22710)

So thought I would create a wee fun thread.

Just a thread for those to post the howlers people have had when calling the world cup.

so pre match predictions, pre tournament predictions.

the old england are terrible sack Southgate then three days later can England win the world cup efforts.

lets see them.

please dont take offence to this guys we all make predictions, we all get it wrong, if not the bookies wouldnt exist.

so come along poke a bit of fun at yourself, dont take it too seriously if people post something you said.

If it starts getting too personal or people prolong the same argument then I will delete the comments as thats not what Im looking for.

Just a gentle wee laugh at yourself on a Monday folks.

I thought Serbia would get to the semis. They got 1 point
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Why would anyone think Serbia can get to the final 4?

Who are the Scots supporting at this stage of the World Cup or any knockout stage? Is it still ABE?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

France.

Potentially Spain, Morocco, Portugal or whoever the one is in the semis. Not decided yet.

Typical Englander arrogance, immediately assuming they'll get to the final.

I put a pound on Croatia to win the tournament.

I gamble for fun at big tournaments with small amounts of money (I put £20 in a Willie Hills account at the start of the tournament).

I think that's a healthy approach.

Given you know nothing of my financial situation, I'm not sure it's really worth mocking someone for sticking a pound on for a wee bit of interest
