North Edinburgh News’ in-house football pundit Bampotto was on the ball with his World Cup predictions. The Drylaw tipster made just three predictions – and two of the three hit the back of the net:
BANG: France to win World Cup – GOAL!
BANG: Harry Kane to win the Golden Boot – GOAL!
BANG: England to lose in the Quarter Finals (on penalties) – HIT THE POST! England exceeded the expectations of some pundits by progressing to the semi-finals. They qualified second in the weakest group of all, which fortunately gave them the easier path for progression. They then scraped through their last sixteen game, beating combative Columbia on penalties, before defeating a pedestrian Swedish side in the quarter finals.
With expectations rising, and the pundits deliberating over who England would to face in the Final, semi-final opponents Croatia were almost irrelevant, a minor inconvenience on England’s relentless progress to glory. Croatia were too old, too small to cope with England’s ‘golden generation’ ….
Unfortunately no-one told the ‘ageing’ Croatians, who came from a goal down send England crashing out of the World Cup …
We look forward to Bampotto’s predictions for the forthcoming league season …

BAMPOTTO, Drylaw’s answer to Paul the predicting octopus, runs his eye over this summer’s World Cup hopefuls – and reckons France have the qualities needed to go all the way …
FRANCE are my tip to win the World Cup. They have a solid spine to the team through Lloris, Umtiti, Pogba and Griezmann, and the players surrounding them are all top quality. There’s the best part of an entire squad not made France’s final 23 that would be in with a realistic chance of winning the tournament.
There’s a stability and togetherness in the squad these days that they’ve sorely missed in previous tournaments. They don’t lose many goals, have potential difference makers all over the pitch, and have plenty of big game experience – for me, they are the team to beat. Continue reading World Cup 2018: Allez les Bleus, says Bampotto
