Italy v New Zealand looks interesting. NZ Desc ruler trine Moon would give a victory however ASC ruler conj POF for Italy indicates the luck is on their side.

NZ could pull off a shock draw or even victory but bad fortune could deprive them of either.

By color method I would asign DSC to Brazil Leo/yellow, Su/yellow in Ge/blue, also Ve on DSC means blue.
ASC represent Cote d'Ivoire because both Sa and Aq is connected with green color kit which I assume that Cote d'Ivoire will wear.
Acidental dignities do not difference so mush.
Su is on last degree that is sign on misfortune.
Moon's aspect is opose with AMa. So my prediction is draw.

Slovakia v Paraguay has just started. Slovakia are wearing their away white kit and Paraguay their home red/white/blue kit!

Daz, I agree the Italy/NZ chart looks good for the underdogs. In addition to what you've already said, Moon is hour-ruler so chart is non-radical - disadvantage to the faves. Using my alternative method Jupiter (blue-Italy) is below the horizon; Moon (white-NZ) is above. It would be great if NZ could get something out of the game but I'm trying not to get too carried away. The odds are huge.

NZ were one of the teams expected to score no goals at all during the tournament, yet they scored one in their previous game and the chart indicated this. In today's chart Mercury L7 conj Sudden Advancement (NZ score) and Jupiter L1 opp Successful Outcome (Italy concede) during the game. This in itself would be a surprise (tipsters going for 4-0 type scorelines) and perhaps getting a goal is all that NZ can hope to achieve.

Dear Ficina, I thought C?te d'Ivoire should wear yello-white-green kit(home kit) which as per my understanding goes well with the Dec. The chart is almost same as yesterday's chart. So I thought Dec team may have advantage. However, Goca thinks differently and I respect him quite a lot as far as Color allocation is concered.

Thanks for explaining, Rohan. Like Goca, I'm presuming Brazil will wear their home kit and Ivory Coast their away kit, but after Slovakia and Paraguay turned up in the opposite kits to what was expected, it's anybody's guess!

Chart is non-radical and hour-ruler Sun is L7. This is often an indication of a draw. As Goca has pointed out, Sun on 29? is not good so I'm wondering how reliable it is as hour-ruler. We had the same situation in the first game and the favourite won that one easily enough. This is a difficult one to predict. When I first looked at the chart before the tournament started, I thought Brazil would win so I'll stick with that.

Italy 1 - 1 New Zealand

The curse of the 4pm games strikes again. (Of the 10 games played at this time the favourite has won only once.) Or is it the curse of Uranus? Very early on in the thread before the WC started

One of my friends has pointed out that all the 4pm games have had Sagittarius rising so Jupiter has been L1, signifying the favourite. QED?

my experience with sun at 29 degrees is anybody guess... but favorites are usually face several difficulties.

I was looking at Lunlumo?s method and it was spot on the goal from CIvory, almost exactly when mercury was crossing the DSC of Brasilia, Brasil.

Rohan, I was wrong in assigning colors in Brazil vs C?te d'Ivoire. However C?te d'Ivoire looks brighter (Leo) from Brazil when you look them on playgraund, so you were right, C?te d'Ivoire is DSC. So, as Brazil were favorite and with that Moon's aspect match result with high score.

Today Moon is VOC during the first half of Portugal match. During second half Moon will be debilitated. It will remain debilitated during the next two matches as well. The despostior of Moon, Mars is placed with Saturn though very far. I think Portugal will win as VOC means either win for favourite or Draw. Second match will be draw. Not sure about the third Match( as always).

In the Portugal/North Korea chart there's a lot of activity towards the end of the first half. The Moon crosses the Asc and the Asc changes from Libra to Scorpio, then Moon goes from Libra to Scorpio and trines the Sun. This all happens in the space of 8 minutes and while Moon is hour-ruler (day-ruler too of course). If something doesn't happen then, I might start to wonder why I bother looking at charts at all!

I would guess most of the first half will be pretty boring with nothing much going on while Moon is VOC (as Rohan has pointed out), then all hell breaks loose in the last 5 minutes or so. Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but I would at least expect someone to score.

Not much testimony for either team for the first match. MO in 1st is VOC for the 1st half and NKs L7 sext MC looks to help the underdogs. Spain may sneak it in the 2nd half but it could end in a shock draw.

Portugal 2 N.Korea 1


A v.interesting game again for the favourites (Chile) who control the match with L10 in Swiss 7th house, however L7 in its own house and sign looks very strong for the underdogs.

Chile 2 Switzerland 2

Honduras have little testimony so Spains L10 sext MC should control the match fairly easily.

Spain 2 Honduras 0
