WC Second Day Anti-Nostradamus

Ah, so yesterday, as AI calculated, I came somewhat to the negative with my predictions. If the infernal England-Paraguay match had not been so damn early, out here in the Lands of Rain, I would have predicted the correct result [Paraguay defends very well, and has a hard time scoring. But England is definitely stronger. So would have gone for 1-0. But, it has already happened, so no choice but to chuck that game aside. That leaves two games for the Anti-Nostradamus; Sweden-T&T, Argentina-Cote d'Ivoire.
Predictions:
Sweden 3- T&T 1 [T&t are brave, and I do hope they get this consolation goal. But T&T is reduced to drawing from clubs in Englands League Two, and Sweden is full of high powered players. A draw alone would be a huge surprise.]
Argentina 2- CIv 2 . [This is, for me, a total crapshoot. Argentina is a total team, with perhaps a slight weakness on defense this time round. CIv is, with possibly Ghana, arguably the very best African side this WC. It can play sloppily, but then just brilliantly. All in the same 5 minutes].
Thus has The AN spoken, Thus shall he be judged!
