Prediction Review

So, how did I do on my prediction from the last blog post, of which teams would progress to the World Cup Finals next year…?  

The teams below in Red qualified and each of the remaining team all have a change to make it through the play-off in November:  

Honduras / Mexico / Tunisia / Ghana / Ivory Coast / Algeria / Nigeria / Uruguay / Colombia / Chile / Ecuador / Belgium / Germany / Switzerland / Portugal / Greece / Ukraine / England / Spain / Bosnia / Russia / Sweden 

NB. Only one of either Portugal & Sweden will make it through, as they have been drawn to play each other in one of the European play-offs. I also missed on the fact that both Iceland & Croatia would make it through to the play-off’s, so one of them will make it. 

The upcoming play-off fixtures are as follows, (the team underlined is my prediction to win over the 2-legs):  

 

Iceland v Croatia

Portugal v Sweden

Ukraine v France

Greece v Romania 

Burkino Faso v Algeria

Ivory Coast v Senegal

Ethiopia v Nigeria

Tunisia v Cameroon

Ghana v Egypt

Jordan v Uruguay

Mexico v New Zealand

 

I really hate tipping Mexico to progress at the expence of New Zealand, but I still can't see how NZ can win over 2-legs against Mexico. If they manage to beat Mexico, it will be a massive upset and I'll be grinning from ear-to-ear....
