What is your prediction for Belgium-Brazil on Thursday?

based on how they played against Japan, I see Brazil walking all over them, like they did a few times before. Just because you got a bunch of players from Middle East, Africa, Jugoslavia, Spain and Argentina won't help against a more wholesome Brazilian team.

'Whoever parties more the night before will lose.'

I don't picture either team to be the rank-and-file team that Germany is/was... although obviously being too robotic doesn't lead to wins, either.

Belgiums ability to defend will give them the edge

Brazil will win 1-0 or 2-0.

Brazil will walk all over them

The match is on Friday, not Thursday. As for the winner, I'm kinda on the fence. Brazil hasn't truly dominated, yet they've only given up one goal to date (if that -- I think that could have been an own goal, I forgot). Belgium had to rally against Japan to avoid a disastrous choke. I don't know...I take Brazil, probably 1-0 or 2-1. I will say this...if I see dos a cero (2-0) again and Brazil leads, Belgium won't be as fortunate as they were against the Japanese.

Brazil 3 - 0 Belgium.

Belgium 2-1 Brazil

Brazil 2 x 1 Belgium
