Football!

Just name your top five for the Champions League 2008, and then we can talk about predictability not after the fact, but now.

Isn't that a bit too long to wait for verification? And let's define the terms "predictability" and "unpredictability" right away. For example, Milan and Manchester United are playing on a neutral field. Can you accurately predict the result (at least the score)? Of course not, you can only guess. But can you call results like 1-1, 2-0, or 1-0 unpredictable? No, these are quite normal results; however, if it were 10-0...
That's why I wrote that I'm not surprised by Zenit's defeat; mathematically, this means that I considered the probability of such an outcome to be not too small. Although I considered a draw to be the most likely outcome.
