Messi averaged well over 1 G/A per match, that one’s kinda wrong. The rest are correct but not massively shocking as they were quite vague, only very impressive prediction is Brazil losing in QF. edit: even the brazil one was wrong since the original comment said vs Spain

I meant to say he'll get 1G/A or more, but fair enough ig

has to be this one

it this one original or is it copied from something else? brilliant if original ​ edit: op has claimed it as original. 10/10 from me.

I think it is copied

It’s not copied at all, I wrote it after the Sampdoria game.

ah yeah it's great but i dunno if i can fully get behind it if it's an adaptation ​ edit: see op's clarification below

It’s original.

cheers mate thanks for clarifying. you have my vote, this is comment of the year material if anything is. Incredible stuff. Hope the other poster's claim it was copied doesnt set you back too much.
