Ja gut aber... (Predictions for the games of 6.11.2006)
Serbia and Montenegro v. Netherlands
The games of 6.11 will prove to be the best thus far in the tournement and this is the highlight game. The question is whether SnM's showing in qualification play will carry over into the round robin games and whether van Basten can skipper his team into a cohesive unit long enough to advance to the knock-out round. SnM will prove to be gritty and vB will add a little glue to the mix but neither effort will be enough to have either team emerge victorious. Both teams need a win in this difficult group but neither will get it. The game ends in a 1-1 tie that will be decided by flag design but, since both teams must've used the same consulting company to design their flag, it's still a tie.
Mexico v. Iran
This contest should prove to be another of the good games of 6.11. Mexico is a regular in the Cup but Iran should give them a run for their pesos. This game could very well decide the second place in Group D, assuming Portugal takes first place. With both teams having this in mind, it'll be a scrappy affair with plastic awarded on both sides. As the curtain closes Iran scores an equalizer to make it 2-2. Tie!
Angola v. Portugal
Portugal is quadrenially one of those teams that should do better that doesn't. And eventually they won't. But FIFA hands them a bird by pairing them with Angola for their first game. This is Angola's first Cup and Portgual will prove to be a difficult taskmaster for their former colony. Angola has played quite well at home but home ain't Cologne. Mr. Figo says to write on the board 100 times: Portugal wins, 3-0.
