In the soccer/football forum, I confidently predicted Uruguay and England to advance out of the group and dismissed Costa Rica as complete no-hopers. I predicted Holland to be eliminated at the group stage as well.

US fans, take heart! I predicted you didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell to get out of your group either. So cheer up!
