Well, I hope Germany wins, but the loss of Ballack... being that the 2 Germany games I saw were the US and South Korea games where he was the game-winner, that does not bode well. Probably Germany's best shot, as noted before, is penalty kicks- hope that the Brazilians panic and put their shot in the crowd, or Kahn gets 'em.

No clue who will win 3rd place. Korea will still have the crowd, but I really like the Turkish style of play when I saw 'em take on Brazil. Some crazy passing and header stuff there. Then again, I liked how the Koreans played as well, at least in the first 50 or so minutes of the game when they were running around like cockroaches. They seemed to slow up a bit later on. Also, Hiddink managed to nab himself 4th place last time too, I'm afraid history might repeat itself.

Korea-Turkey 0-0

Neither team are particularly strong offensively. Korea and Turkey both had 6 shots at the goal IIRC, and each had 3 aimed straight. Both teams are also solid defenders, so it'll be a 0-0 match.


Germany-Brazil 0-3

Quite frankly this German team is the worst since who knows when. No tactics, just long balls up front and hope Klose or somebody else gets a header in the general direction of the goal.

That puts Juggernaut 12 points ahead of me. And I can still get 12 points if I get the exact score for the final, so joint first is the best I can do.
