This is just for fun. No, I don’t have inside information, so, please, don’t make bets based on my predictions. And if you’re gambling on high school sports, you have an addiction and should seek professional treatment before you end up like this guy.

I’ll post my record on Wednesday, when I predict Thursday’s games and then I’ll post Thursday’s results on Friday when I predict Saturdays’ games. That’s right socceroos, I’m going all in with this prediction thing.
