Here are my offerings to go with my previous predictions.
Belgium is a lovely place
So many famous persons.
I think there is a cycling chap
But of Jacques Brel I'm certain.
In Mexico they cook their beans
With lots of spice and chilli
And then they dance upon their hats
Which some folk think is silly.
Russia's an enormous land
It flows with oil and money
But if you're short of roubles
The future's not that sunny.

So - rules are there are no rules, no insider footballer info needed - it's just who you think will win, lose or draw - like Paul the octopus in the last World Cup - this is using the brilliance of gransnetters (and CariGransnet's goldfish - named Goldie, of course) to predict who will win the World Cup.
Every morning we post the fixtures for that day for you to post your predictions.
You'll get a point for each correct prediction (win, lose or draw) and for those with a competitive streak, there will be a bonus points option suggested for the day, so you 'fancy' up your entry <ooh>
Every morning we will update our leaderboard, however you're more than welcome to join in at whatever stage. Obviously there's less chance of winning if you join in half-way, unless you're a pro and take part in the bonus rounds!
There will be a mystery prize for the gransnetters with the most points at the end of the World Cup (13 July).
Let the games commence! Post below if you'll be taking part from Thursday.

As I am rubbish at the score predictions I will just say Belgium, Brazil and Russia to win!!
" I'm off to the cafe for a Belgian Bun and some coffee from Brazil,
Hurry up I've got to Russia cos the cafe's at the top of the hill!!"
Genius! This made me chuckle
You'll need to post another two poems though, for the other two points! (poem mentioning a country for each fixture)
" Didn't understand the brief because my brain was slow,
So now I've got to write a poem about bloomin' Mexico!!!"
" KatGransnet said I should write again,
This time about Algeria.
Think I'll turn my laptop off
and pretend I didn't hear ya!"

I've done a listing for Spain (a tapas bar) and for Australia (a zoo which has lots of Australian animals - not just kangaroos)
Croatia and Cameroon have me stumped! DH did suggest I tried to find a cake shop that sold cameroons 
I could do a link to a travel agent or EM airport but that seems like cheating!
Off for a lie down now - oh, b****r, I've still not done the flipping ironing!

Are you able to post the link on this thread for your listings?
Yes travel agent or airport will do!
Wayhay, it worked!
My second is a lovely Spanish tapas restaurant.
And my third is the beautiful Victoria Quarter, where there is an UGG Australia shop.
Definitely time for a 
or now to steady the nerves!
