In my eyes, I was expecting today's fixture to be Denmark vs. Italy, well that was according to my wall-chart!
There's a few more mistakes in my wall-chart but as you could tell from my predictions, telling the future was never my strong point! 4 correct scores to date!
As for today's game I'm expecting a tight affair as both teams are exciting going forward and have great tenacity at the back.
Honda has been one of the best players at this World Cup so far and his link-up play with Endo have made Japan a real hand full when they attack.
They seem to have mastered the art of taking free-kicks with that awful "Jubulani" ball, so I would expect Paraguay will try to avoid giving away silly free-kicks.
Paraguay have their own attacking flair through Barrios, Santa Cruz and Valdez and these boys could cause some problems for the Japanese and their counter-attacking style.
The only thing I am fearful for is that the two teams may cancel each other out and we may end up with a boring game with Japan having a lot of the ball but not being able to penetrate affectively.
I am predicting this game to finish 1-1 in regulation time and will possibly go to penalties with Japan keeping their cool to make the quarter-finals for the first time.
Prediction: 1-1
Japan are 12/1 to win the game on penalties, its worth a fiver!
u were right frankie a boring game it is surely coul be lookin at penos that 12/1 looks tasty now!
