I want to share with you a very funny prediction about the 2014 World Cup that\u00a0has been passing around Weibo (\u5fae\u535a):<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u8fd9\u6b21\u4e16\u754c\u676f\uff0c\u610f\u5927\u79bb\u4e86\uff0c\u897f\u73ed\u54d1\u4e86\u3001\u82f1\u683c\u70c2\u4e86\u3001\u4e4c\u62c9\u5f52\u4e86\u2026\u2026(Zh\u00e8 c\u00ec sh\u00ecji\u00e8b\u0113i, y\u00ec d\u00e0 l\u00edle, x\u012b b\u0101n y\u01cele, y\u012bng g\u00e9 l\u00e0nle, w\u016bl\u0101 gu\u012ble)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translation: During this world cup,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u610f\u5927\u79bb\u4e86 (y\u00ec d\u00e0 l\u00ed le) = \u201cItaly (\u610f\u5927\u5229) will leave\u201d (\u201c\u79bb\u201d means \u201cleave\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u5229\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u897f\u73ed\u54d1\u4e86(x\u012b b\u0101n y\u01ce le)= \u201cSpain (\u897f\u73ed\u7259) will be dumb\u201d (\u201c\u54d1\u201d means \u201cdumb\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u7259\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u82f1\u683c\u70c2\u4e86(y\u012bng g\u00e9 l\u00e0n le)= \u201cEngland (\u82f1\u683c\u5170) will be broken\u201d (\u201c\u70c2\u201d means \u201cbroken\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u5170\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u4e4c\u62c9\u5f52\u4e86(w\u016b l\u0101 gu\u012b le) = \u201cUruguay (\u4e4c\u62c9\u572d) will go home\u201d (\u201c\u5f52\u201d means \u201cgo back\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u572d\u201d)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course these are jokes, but actually all of these teams have now been eliminated. The one that shocks me the most is Spain. It\u2019s my favorite team and they play beautiful team football. What\u2019s more, they won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. I could not imagine that such a rich, experienced team could not get through the first group. I think that can be one of the biggest \u201c\u51b7\u95e8 (l\u011bng\u00a0m\u00e9n),\u201d or unexpected game result, of this World Cup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u610f\u5927\u5229 (y\u00ec\u00a0d\u00e0\u00a0l\u00ec) = Italy<\/p>\n

For Italy, I am very sad to see that Andrea Pirlo, at 35 years old, will quit after this World Cup. If you are a football fan, you will know how well he can organize his team as a midfield player. He is like another coach in the game and every one of his teammates trusts him completely. We call him \u201c\u5927\u5e08 (d\u00e0\u00a0sh\u012b),\u201d which means \u201cMaster\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Andrea<\/a><\/p>\n

Andrea Pirlo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u82f1\u683c\u5170 (y\u012bng\u00a0g\u00e9\u00a0l\u00e1n) = England<\/p>\n

England\u2019s team has many good players from the Premier League, possibly the best football league in the world, such as Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Steve Gerrad. Maybe it\u2019s due to their coach\u2019s problems or for other reasons, but England does not tend to not play well in international competitions.<\/p>\n

\"England's<\/a><\/p>\n

England’s Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u4e4c\u62c9\u572d (w\u016b\u00a0l\u0101\u00a0gu\u012b) = Uruguay<\/p>\n

As for Uruguay, if you pay attention to the news you can see that Giorgio Chiellini, the defender from Italy\u2019s team, was the third victim bitten by Louis Suarez, a forward on Uruguay\u2019s team. I don\u2019t want to comment too much about Suarez. Technically, he is a good football player, but biting an opponent is definitely not a proper offensive skill. \u201cThat really hurt, Suarez!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Louis<\/a><\/p>\n

Louis Suarez<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

OK, the prediction continues:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translation: In the quarter final,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u54e5\u4f26\u6bd4\u54d1\u4e86(g\u0113 l\u00fan b\u01d0 y\u01ce le) = \u201cColumbia (\u54e5\u4f26\u6bd4\u4e9a) will be dumb\u201d (\u201c\u54d1\u201d means \u201cdumb\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u4e9a\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u6cd5\u5170\u7184\u4e86(f\u01ce l\u00e1n x\u012b le)= \u201cFrance (\u6cd5\u5170\u897f) will be extinguished\u201d (\u201c\u7184\u201d means \u201cextinguish\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u897f\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u6bd4\u5229\u5931\u4e86(b\u01d0\u00a0l\u00ec sh\u012b le) = \u201cBelgium (\u6bd4\u5229\u65f6) will lose\u201d (\u201c\u5931\u201d means \u201close\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u65f6\u201d)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to this thinking, the semi-final will be:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u5df4\u7184\u4e86(b\u0101 x\u012b le) = \u201cBrazil (\u5df4\u897f) will be extinguished\u201d (\u201c\u7184\u201d means \u201cextinguish\u201d and has the same pronunciation as \u201c\u897f\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u8377\u70c2\u4e86(h\u00e9 l\u00e0nle ) \u201cThe Netherlands (\u8377\u5170) will be broken\u201d (\u201c\u70c2\u201d means \u201cbroken\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u5170\u201d).<\/p>\n

Germany and Argentina will be the two teams left in the final.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u54e5\u4f26\u6bd4\u4e9a (G\u0113l\u00fanb\u01d0y\u01ce) = Columbia<\/p>\n

Player number 10 on Columbia\u2019s team, James Rodriguez, is just 22 years old and this young guy\u2019s name has become known to the whole world due to his fantastic performance on the pitch. Although his team lost 1-2 to the host team, Brazil, in the quarter final, he has received lots of respect not only from his teammates, but also his opponents. He has scored 6 goals for this tournament and is leading the scorer table now.<\/p>\n

\"James<\/a><\/p>\n

James Rodriguez<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u6cd5\u5170\u897f (F\u01cel\u00e1nx\u012b) = France<\/p>\n

France\u2019s team also has done not too bad this time. Lacking the most important wing player, Franck Ribery, France\u2019s team has been playing strong and solid. The coach Deschamps has done a lot of great work to bring the team back to be the top football team in the world. People have said that this team is the best French team since they won the World Cup in 1998.<\/p>\n

\"France's<\/a><\/p>\n

France’s Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u6bd4\u5229\u65f6 (B\u01d0l\u00ecsh\u00ed) = Belgium<\/p>\n

Belgium\u2019s team has been called the \u201cdark horse\u201d during this World Cup. There are many young and excellent players on the team, such as the captain, Vincent Kompany, Eden Hazard, and Romelu Lukaku. They are the new generation, but they lack some teamwork. In the future, I believe this team will be a main competitor in the World Cup.<\/p>\n

\"Belgium's<\/a><\/p>\n

Belgium’s Team<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here is the final phrase of the prediction:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u6700\u540e\uff1a\u5fb7\u8fc7\u4e86\uff0c\u963f\u6839\u505c\u4e86\uff0c\u51a0\u519b\u5e94\u8be5\u662f\u5fb7\u8fc7\u4e86, \u54c8\u54c8! (Zu\u00ech\u00f2u: D\u00e9gu\u00f2le, \u0101 g\u0113n t\u00edngle, gu\u00e0nj\u016bn y\u012bngg\u0101i sh\u00ec d\u00e9gu\u00f2le, h\u0101h\u0101!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translation: Eventually,<\/p>\n

\u5fb7\u8fc7\u4e86(D\u00e9gu\u00f2le ) = \u201cGermany (\u5fb7\u56fd) will pass through\u201d (\u201c\u8fc7\u201d means \u201cpass\u201d and has the same pinyin letters as \u201c\u56fd\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u963f\u6839\u505c\u4e86(\u0101 g\u0113n tingle) = \u201cArgentina (\u963f\u6839\u5ef7) will stop\u201d (\u201c\u505c\u201d means \u201cstop\u201d and has the same pronunciation as \u201c\u5ef7\u201d)<\/p>\n

So Germany will be the champion, haha!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Between Germany and Argentina, I think\u00a0that Germany will win because Germany is much more stable than Argentina, which relies too much on their superstar, Lionel Messi. In addition, Angel di Maria was injured when Argentina team played against Belgium, so I would not put too much money on Argentina\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
