I was just about to throw out last week's edition of the Racing & Football Outlook but thought I would take a retrospective look at the headlines for their selected football matches and see whether they were right or wrong.
It made for interesting reading.
Headline 1 - Gentle start for Selecao
They tipped - Brazil to win 3-0 or 4-0
Result - Brazil 2 North Korea 1
Headline 2 - Drogba injury a huge blow for Ivory Coast
They tipped - Cristiano Ronaldo to score first against the Ivory Coast
Result - He didn't (Ivory Coast 0 Portugal 0)
Headline 3 - Swiss look out of their depth against Spain
They tipped - Spain/Spain HT/FT betting
Result - Spain 0 Switzerland 1
Headline 4 - Mexico can hold France
They tipped - A draw
Result - France 0 Mexico 2
Headline 5 - Yanks have got the tools
They tipped - USA
Result - Slovenia 2 USA 2
Headline 6 - Tougher test for Germany
They tipped - Germany to win 2-1 or 1-0
Result - Germany 0 Serbia 1
And finally:
Headline 7 - Algeria won't tame the Three Lions
They tipped - England to win to nil
Result - Algeria 0 England 0
Dreadful!
