Well, the predictions weren't ever that likely to make logical sense, and today's are: Argentina 0 Iran 3, Germany 0 Ghana 2 and Nigeria 1 Bosnia 1.
Iran actually give Argentina a good contest with only an injury time goal at the end separating the teams. Pejman Montazeri crossed for Reza Ghoochannejad (isn't that a Donovan song ?) whose header was blocked by the Argentine keeper. Javed Nekounam becomes, I think, the first player whose sticker I get on a match day to be booked in that match.
Again, in the second game Ghana run Germany a lot closer than expected, even being ahead for eight minutes. Jonathan Mensah performs well in defence, but Michael Essien fails to make an appearance from the bench.
In the late game, a couple of misses and a wrongly disallowed goal by Manchester City's Dzeko possibly deprives me of a winning bet as Nigeria win 1-0. Bosnian keeper Asmir Begovic is nutmegged for the goal and the Nigerian team group really never stood a chance of a good individual performance.
