Taking a Deadly Chance on an African Team

Question

Germany should be -2.5 (as Arg is vs Iran), and you can argue if you want, but the perception is obviously there, that THIS African side is capable, and will not play sloppily and stupidly like Cameroon or Nigeria or Algiers (EGYPT would have been a beet representative and made a better showing).I think Ghana shocks the soccer world with a draw at least, and at worst could lose late being tied most of the way. I don&#x27;t care if you think Germany is so much better and will destroy them--go ahead and bet em. Thanks for dropping by.

Thanks for all your responses. Sorry I couldn&#x27;t get to them all.Germans have the right approach to the sport, mentally, physically. I just feel Ghana is a bad matchup for them. They had the game vs Portugal handed to them. Pepe sent off made it a cruise.

Germany are great group starters.  I don&#39;t think Ghana has a chance in this one but I didn&#39;t think Costa Rica had much of a chance yesterday.  I could easily see a 3-1 German victory

Ghana

Well, I do think Ghana scores. So -1/2 over for Ghana pays a nice -140. I think Germany is susceptible to counters, and will give one up that way.

I do think Germany will win the game but it may not be the blowout that many expect. I think all the chalk looks to be pretty good today but Ghana by default is probably the most reasonable to take a shot with. Iran has zero chance and Nigeria may not find the back of the net either.

Germans always start strong but they seem to struggle in that second game of the group stage. They have only won that game  once in the past 4 World Cups. Not saying they lose but I see some value on Ghana &#x2B;1.5 and if you want to get greedy maybe some action on Ghana ML. Just some food for thought.

Alan_Watts · Answer

Ghana nearly won the game. A loss to Ghana, and they face elimination vs the Americans for sure.

Think about how tough the seedings are:

Toughest CONCACAF is USA--youghest European team--Germany--toughest African team--GHANA...Portugal has the player of the year, but has not played as a team.
