Day 22 Predictions -----Overall Record (37-24)
Spain - Germany: The key to this match is that Spain has what Germany's past opponents lacked, speedy defenders, Puyol, Pique, and Ramos are perfect for marking the counters. Germany will need their new wonderboy Ozil to shine in the middle tonight for a chance. If the Germans score first though, a re-run of the Spain-Switzerland game may be in store. (Spain 2 -1)
Players to watch:
Gerard Pique (SPN) Takes part in so much build-up play, you'd think he's a midfielder. His job will be to keep Miroslav Klose in check, and he's much more adept then John Terry or Martin Dimechelis
Philip Lahm (Ger) The captain's overlaps from the right will be necessary to add accent to their counter-attack. Germany tends to use their left-side most of the time, and it'll be difficult getting past Sergio Ramos.
JUST SOME POINTS
- You just knew Uruguay would score after after they took out Forlan.
- Holland vs. Spain, would be battle of the chokers.
- Marc Van Bommel, does anyone actually like this guy?

- visitors
(1)the main point is to correctly predict the winner
(2)tiebreaker#1 is the team closest to 3rd place (not 2nd place)
(3)tiebreaker#2 is the player with the most goals
(4)if its still tied, split the winnings
- tiebreaker #1 has priority over tiebreaker #2
- changes can be made before Friday the 11th 23:00 (Mexico vs. South Africa)
- you have to pay before the end of the World Cup.
- if no one gets the winning team, the winner will be the person that is closest on all three choices (this will be tough to figure out, but I'll do my best).
