Herr Colin was a bit late with his:
1st: Italy
2nd: Brazil
3rd: Argentina
4th: England
Golden Ball: Riquelme
Golden Boot: Ronaldo
Lev Yashin: Oh, I don’t know

I think Herr Colin should have the default prediction for the Lev Yashin award - Oliver Kahn.
June 29th, 2006 at 1:35 pm
Yes, that’s who I would have picked, if Herr Ed had given me more than 3 minutes to work out the combinations of potential finalists and runners up as well as work out what the Lev Yashin award actually is.

Lev Yashin award - Worst free kick of the tournament
June 29th, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Becks has got to be in with a shout for the worst free kick award. I can remember at least three of his pinpoint/aimless balls into the box that haven’t cleared the first man.

I think you are forgetting about the US’s footie savior, Landon Donovan, and his inability to hit any dead ball correctly in this Cup
June 30th, 2006 at 10:17 am
I don’t think Donovan hit any balls right, dead or otherwise.
Henrik Larsson’s penalty was also a pretty awful dead ball moment.

The predictions for World Cup winners are looking good.
