This is a follow-up of the previous blog here I wrongly predicited that Germany to win the Cup but it was based on Walter Winterbottom’s observation. “The team that wins will be built around players from the same club.”
On this basis, I predicted Germany to win but I had not looked that the player composition of all the teams carefully. Now I have done that on the team that played on that night:
World Cup semi-finals (7th July 2010)
Germany – 4 players (including subs) are from Bayern Munich
Spain – 7 players (Barcelona); 3 players (Real Madrid)
Based on these facts; the Spain should have been predicited.
Spain beat Germany 1:0 on 7th July 2010
Lets look forward to the
World Cup Final (Uruguay vs Germany) 10th July 2010
Germany to win as it has the player core based around the Bayern Munich players of Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Klose & Muller (4 players).
Uruguay does not have a core of players from the same club.
World Cup Final (Holland vs Spain) 11th July 2010
Spain to win – 7 players (Barcelona) and 3 players (Real Madrid)
Prediction:
- Germany to beat Uruguay
- Spain to win 2010 World Cup in South Africa
