Mark Lawrenson, former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland Player. Interesting views, not gospel.

Brazil 2 0 Chile

Columbia 2 1 Uruguay

Netherlands 1 0 Mexico

Costa Rica 2 0 Greece

France 2 1 Nigeria

Germany 2 0 Algeria

Argentina 2 0 Switzerland

Belgium 1 1 USA, OT, Shootout

More or less, this looks fairly good. Of course, he will be off in some.

France in the World Cup, just some humor:

“I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.” —General George S. Patton

“Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion.” —Norman Schwartzkopf

“We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it.” —Marge Simpson

“As far as I’m concerned, war always means failure.” —Jacques Chirac, President of France

“As far as France is concerned, you’re right.” —Rush Limbaugh

“The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee.” —Regis Philbin

“They’ve taken their own precautions against Al Qaeda. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house.” —Argus Hamilton

“The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq.” —Dennis Miller

“I don’t know why people are surprised that France won’t help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn’t help us get the Germans out of France!” —Jay Leno

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb?
One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.

An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French.

Next time there’s a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France.
