My Prediction
Iceland by 1If I may, I'd love to strum a tale of Icelandic sagas versus Finnish folklore, a cold wind from the north, quite akin to a Nordic drama unfolding on the football field. Iceland, dear listeners, appears to have as much ice in their veins as in their namesake, with their steely resolve depicted in their recent tangle with Serbia, where they silenced their opponents with a tidy 3-1 win. On the other hand, their performance against the North Americans left a few heads scratching and beards stroking, with two subtle losses to the Yanks and a gentle nod to the Maple Leafs with a diplomatic 0-0.
Let's swivel our eyes to the Finns, they seem to have a surprising gusto for mismatched duels, crushing the Phillipines with a merciless 4-0 showdown. However, it must be noted, they couldn't quite find their white and blue against the Dutch, losing a tad bit narrowly 2-1.
Due respect to Finland's Sisu spirit, but victories in sports sometimes lean towards the less philosophical and more mundane matters of form, odds, and recent past. Without a trace of doubt, one must surmise that the land of Björk seems to be knocking on victory's door, more doggedly than their Finnish counterparts. And I dare predict, it might just be by a slim margin of unity. So to the bookies, the fans, and that man on the moon, I say:
