Such an imprecise art, this football result predicting lark.
Especially trying to assess who'll make the quarter finals before the tournament has even started.
A red card can change a game. An injury to a key player can scupper a nation's chances. A referee bent on making headlines can change fate.
But it's fun, so it must be done.
Here are the nations I think will reach the Quarter Finals of this World Cup, and who they'll find themselves up against:
BRAZIL v URUGUAY
FRANCE v GERMANY
SPAIN v IVORY COAST
ARGENTINA v BELGIUM
The winner's in there somewhere...
