I took the weather into account this time. Had I done that last time I would have predicted a loss for England. England trained to lose against Italy in Manaus. Tomorrow will be wet, dreary, and cool in Sao Paulo. Perfect English weather!

And the nasty Brazilian Agriculture Department officials have confiscated Uruguay's "magic weapon" :biggrin:

Still, England might as well get it over with and exit the tournament as fast as possible, preferably in a way that they can blame on everybody except the players.

Important notice!
We have had a lot of predictions made after the deadline. I have ignored the situation until now, but it's a bit unfair towards the people who make their predictions tomorrow. Since I am posting so short before the deadline (5 hours), I will let tomorrow's matches pass too. But after that, I expect the predictions on time (i.e. before midnight GMT). Any posts after the deadline, even 1 minute, will not be accepted

Is the deadline not the time the first game kicks off? I must have missed that. (I generally don't think about the games until the morning of)

No, since I said the deadlines start counting from today. So the last deadline was not important.
