P for prediction.
Why are the final group A matches being played before Germany and Colombia's 2nd match in group H?
Anyway, these are my predictions:
Norway 2 Philippines 0
New Zealand 1 Switzerland 1
Results:
Norway 6 Philippines 0
New Zealand 0 Switzerland 0
So 50 points and 90 points for my predictions.
Norway played a lot better than they did against New Zealand. 1 of the goals (the 1st, or possibly the 2nd, I think) was comparable to Marco Van Basten's goal in the 1988 European Championship Final.
Norway definitely looked the better team, but were probably lucky to win by such a big margin. Everything went wrong for the Philippines in the 2nd half. The 4th goal was an unlucky own goal; the 5th goal was a dubious penalty; and then the Philippines
had a player sent off for a fairly innocuous challenge.
And the stupid English commentator can't even pronounce English names properly, never mind Norwegian names. He kept pronouncing Caroline Graham Hansen's first name Ca-ru-lee-nu.
