How can you want Uruguay to win the tournament - don't you remember Batista and his thug teammates in the game against us at Mexico '86? They spent the entire game kicking us all over the pitch - how they didn't finish the game with only 7 or 8 players I'll never know!
I know, I know, it's been 24 years, let it go you say... we could have made it to the second round with just one goal though - those cynical bastards were never going to let that happen.
Anyway, I can't see them getting past the Netherlands - I fancy the Dutch to win by a couple of goals (not that my predictions have been any fucking good over the course of this tournament).
