Sue Bird the Prognosticator -- she nails the World Cup Semi score exactly.

Sue made a World Cup prediction in The Players Tribune (great article). She kind of felt she had to make a prediction, so she did, reluctantly. And she nailed it. So now she gets a "summer trip to Paris" to watch her g/f in the finals.

I think pretty much every American forecast I heard was 2-1 including my own.

LOL!!! I can without any hesitation, confirmed that eebmg predicted correctly the outcome score 2-1 before the game and knowing that Rapinoe would not start!!!

Hmm - is eebmg staging a palace coup against Carnac?

I’m glad Sue is not a regular poster here in the yard. If she was, she’d put ol Carnac out of business.

No. I am just pointing out that of all the possible scores that we may predict for a US win over England, 2-1 is by far the most natural for 2 teams which are pretty close, whose offense is thought top be the best part of the teams etc.

I hope not. I like it here.

Being a thoughtful prognosticator on a regular basis is way too much work. Making reflex superficial guesses is my limit.
