1 - United States 16 - Iran --------------------------------- This one could go either way. If Iran can effectivly deploy sunburn missiles, it's Good-bye US Navy. No Navy, Iran will have a much Easier time. I pick Iran to pull of the major upset.
2 - Russia 15 - Canada --------------------------------- This is a sure, bet folks. Russia's gonna roll right over the Canadians.
3 - China 14 - Mexico --------------------------------- Another Sure Bet. Mexico does not have a prayer.
4 - India 13 - Indonesia --------------------------------- This one's going to be interesting. India seems to have the advantage here, however, they're going to be bogged down island hopping, which coach Patil says has been their biggest weakness this season, meaning this could be a good one. I pick India on a squeaker.
5 - Germany 12 - South Korea --------------------------------- This is going to be good. The best main battle tanks and combat equipment in the world face off against a country that has been preparing for a major fight for over 50 years. However, without the US to bail them out, Germany's gonna kicking ass like it's 1939. I pick Germany.
6 - France 11 - Italy --------------------------------- France has some major rage here over the World Cup loss and is looking for revenge. Also, with 2 CATOBAR Aircraft carriers going up agaisnt one VSTOL Carrier, I thing France is going to rule the day here. I think they are going to go quite far in this tournament. Viva la France!
7 - Japan 10 - Great Britain --------------------------------- Britannia still rules the waves, baby! Since the Japanese "Self Defense Forces" have no antiship missile capability and very, very little boots on the ground combat experience, expect the Union Flag and White Ensign to fly over Tokyo very Quickly.
8 - Turkey 9 - Brazil --------------------------------- This is simple folks, Brazil has a carrier, and will beat Turkey by well, a Brazillion!
And now for Division 2!
1 Israel 16 Switzerland --------------------------------- This is going to be a bloodbath, folks. Switzerland is the most underrated country in this tournament. Switzerland's Citizen Soldiers will roll all over the Israelis. There's a reason that nobody fucks with the Swiss.
2 Finland 15 Sweden --------------------------------- Give this one to the Finns, these guys have a history of kicking ass and taking names when they get pissed off, and there's a lot of bad blood between these two teams.
3 Poland 14 Ireland --------------------------------- It will all come down to which side's soldiers actually remember to pull the pins on their grenades before throwing them. I'm giving this one to the Irish.
4 Pakistan 13 Egypt --------------------------------- This is going to close to call, folks I say go with your gut and cross your fingers on this one. I'm picking Egypt to pull off the upset.
5 South Africa 12 New Zealand --------------------------------- Talk about your rivalries. Springboks vs. All Blacks. I'll give this one to South Africa, they've been looking strong this combat season and have good hustle.
6 Australia 11 Argentina -------------------------------- I pick Australia. They've been looking strong, and are going up against the most ovverated nation in this tournament. I predict a repeat of the 1982 match against the UK.
7 Thailand 10 North Korea -------------------------------- Two nations, two batshit crazy leaders, one with a definite manpower advantage. I'm still giving this one to the Thais, All they need to do is bring on the food aid, and the starving North Koreans will desert in droves.
8 Ethiopia 9 Venezuela -------------------------------- Ethiopia, is fresh off a huge victory in Somalia, and has "uncle mo'" on their side, but Coach Chavez has managed to build up some good stockpiles of technologically advanced ordinance over the season, including some very key offseason trades with China, Russia, and Brazil. I pick Venezuela to pull of the upset.
