June 25th at the World Cup will be the first day of last round of matches in Group A and B. The two matches in each group are played at the same time to eliminate any chance of teams playing for a certain result based on what happened in an earlier match. It's usually a pretty exciting day of switching TV channels to see what's going on in each match. Unless your team has been eliminated already and then you find yourself sadly watching them "play for pride."
In Group A, Uruguay play Russia while Saudi Arabia play Egypt. What a match the latter could be if both teams are still in with a shot of qualifying. My prediction is that Uruguay will have qualified already and Russia will still have a lot to play for. They will be hoping for a good result of their own but also hoping that Saudi Arabia do them a favour against Egypt.
Group B sees Portugal take on Iran and Spain play Morocco. The smart money would be on Portugal and Spain winning and playing for first and second place.
What do you think of my predictions? What do I think of my predictions? Consider this: every World Cup or Euro for which I have entered a betting pool at work or school I have been out of contention very early on.
