Ashley's Group Stage Predictions

Group A


7 - France (+3 GD, 5 GS)

7 - Mexico (+3 GD, 4 GS)

1 - Uruguay

1 - South Africa

Results

South Africa/Mexico: 0-2
Uruguay/France: 1-2
South Africa/Uruguay: 1-1
France/Mexico: 1-1
Mexico/Uruguay: 1-0
France/South Africa: 2-0

Comments: Nervous about South Africa predictions because they could use home town advantage. France could also disappoint big time.

Group B


9 - Argentina

6 - Nigeria

3 - South Korea

0 - Greece

Results

Argentina/Nigeria: 2-1

South Korea/Greece: 1-0

Greece/Nigeria: 0-1

Argentina/Korea: 2-0

Nigeria/Korea: 2-0

Greece/Argentina: 0-3

Comments: I think Nigeria is the sleeper in this tournament; helped by the fact that this group is paired up in the next round with a weak group A. The group is bad for Greece, going up against 3 potentially high-scoring teams.
