Okay, stick with me a minute. Last night i dreamed that Holland won the WC and that Evangeline Lily (Kate from Lost) captained the team.....weird, yip; i know!
Anyway, i was cleaning out a drawer today and noticed the missing dice from the Monopoly box. I got the idea to see how the dice predicted WC scores to be and to see if Holland also turned out as winners this way.
I replaced the #6 as being the zero.
I used the BBC WC Predictor to track and tabulate results:

When it came down to knockout rounds i used 1, 2, 3 as home win and 4, 5 and 6 for away win.
Using this method, Holland made it to the final again, this time losing to Brazil. Italy beat Argentina in the 3rd place play off.
Other teams to note:
England: Q/F loss to Holland
Germany: 2nd round loss to England
Czechs: Q/F loss to Brazil
France:2nd round loss to Ukraine
Anyway, to sum up, i am bored and Brazil will win the WC. No breaking news!!
