    thanks onThe 

    ok
     friday

    Mexico Cameroon - the loser here almost certainly goes home and Under 2 is no surprise to see, this could be very tight. But when the under is priced so low it makes sense to got for a correct score at a much bigger price.
    Mexico are 5-1 to win 1-0 and they are the likelier winners, Cameroon haven't won a game at the world cup since 2002 and have been fighting their own association over bonus payments. El tri are lucky to be here but they have a good record in tournament and I like how Herrera has them organised. 13/10 on the straight win is fine as well.

    Spain Holland - I'm always way of matchups like these as a first game, spain lost their first game in 2010 before winning the whole thing, they've only lost 2 out of 36 competitive games so spain at a shade of odds on doesnt look too bad. I like 1-0 here as well at 5-1, they conceded just 3 goals in qualifying and in the last world cup won 4 out of 6 games 1-0 as well. Spain to win to nil at 8-5 is a good play too.

    Chile Australia - You wont get many people backing Australia on here - they're my joint worst team here, Chile play with a lot of attacking flair and with two heavyweights in their group, Chile know they have to win and win well. I like Chile -1.25, this could be 3 or 4-0 quite easily.

    BostonKen, thanks for asking that question... I'm like you with this sport.  mr bollox  any chance you could expand on past winners histories as it relates to underdog success or lack of.   Just in general, compared to other big sports championships, how often do "wildcard" equivalent teams or lower 1/2 seeds win?

    barb, thanks bud, see u in the daily thread 

    tien, have a bet on mexico

    iceman, its difficult to give a wildcard analogy as all teams play the same amount of games and the only team with homefield advantage is the host or maybe teams from the same continent but that changes every 4 years. The only teams to have ever won the world cup are Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, England and Uruguay. England won it last in 1966 when they hosted it and Uruguay not since 1950, so a very select bunch.

    City bears so little resemblence to the club I fell in love with 40+ years ago, that it's rather like an out-of-body experience watching them these days. I'm happy for the fans, though, they surely deserved a little success.

    I suppose you could say the same for Spurs fans these days - something what would have seemed unthinkable when I was a kid.  I was never treated better anywhere than I was at Spurs (the old Railway Tavern, in particular).  WHL is one of those rare special places left in the EPL.  I suppose the irony is that they'll have to leave it in order to win anything.  Progress, you know.   Where's Garth Crooks when you need him?

    Pure, I really like Chile to put a number on the aussies

    docpj   yup spain to win to nil, 1-0 or 2-0 looks good to me


    Maine, I could talk about the scourge of modern football for ages, one of my best mates is a citeh fan and he went to the likes of macclesfield and york etc when u were in what is league 1 now. And he says the same as you, its as if we all have to hope to be taken over by some multi millionaire sugar daddy to have any success anymore.

    Its not what the game is about and It'll be hard to leave the "lane" but we'll have to get used to playing at the "sainsbury's" arena soon.

    wow spain really shat the bed, i've never seen a team defending their title play so poorly in their first game but after seeing chile and australia, i'm sure they'll qualify with Holland

    good day today overall, the correct score in the first game set me up nicely and then although it came late, that third goal for chile covered the -1.25 so nice profits today

    Saturday previews coming later

    Saturday 4 games

    Colombia Greece - Greece will play for a 0-0 draw, I dont think they'll get it, they only conceded 4 goals in qualifying but they get found out at world cups and have failed to score in 5 out of 6 group games, Colombia at 10-11 here.

    Uruguay Costa Rica - Suarez will NOT start here, I wasn't particularly excited about the 4-9 on offer about the favorites anyway - a better bet is to back them to win by one goal at 9-4. I will also play over 40 on cards here so 4 yellows is a push.

    Italy England - dont like England in this matchup - England have only lost 2 out of their last 16 world cup games in regulation but have only won 2 out of 11 against the Azzuri, I like Italy winning this 1-0 at 6-1 and the Under 2, this could also be the first 0-0 game of the tournament on the pitch they had to dye green 

    Last game of the day maybe the most interesting, fascinating clash of styles between Ivory Coast and Japan - I'm not a fan of any African team but Ivory coast are the pick of the crop, Japan play good technical football and score a lot of goals - I like the Over 2.5 here.

    thanks rabbit

    Greece playing 4-5-1, packing the midfield and will stifle colombia at first but Pekerman can bring bacca and martinez off the bench to run at the greeks in the 2nd half if its still a stalemate

    Lovely call on Colombia, was slightly concerned about no Guarin but they are simply a more complete side than Greece.

    benhill , thanks, yeh colombia was able to leave a couple of stars on their bench too, and greece now scoreless in 6 out of 7 world cup games .

    Nice result for my Colombia to win the group future as well.

    the lack of cards so far is surprising, in contrast to previous world cups, guess I missed the directive from FIFA, still early though, we'll see if it continues

    docpj , lets keep rolling the dice.

    covers is really screwing up, i posted post 73 in jack's thread and it ended up in my thread

    talking of cards though, perreira's moment of madness for uruguay got me over 40 in cards points in that game. And a welcome first red card.

    should have backed italy ML and not messed around with correct score but my futures bet of Italy winning the group looks pretty good.

    ok, lets some up the day

    Colombia ML

    Uruguay win by one goal

    Uruguay CR over 40 booking points

    Italy England Under

    Italy win 1-0

    Ivory Coast Japan Over

    prop plays were small so made a profit on the day but kicking myself for not backing Italy at least pk.

    Sunday

    Switzerland Ecuador - some people will be saying Under here and its easy to see why, "der schweitz" have only conceded one goal in their last 7 world cup games, didnt lose a match in euro qualifying only conceding 6 goals. Ecuador have a few injury problems, missing key midfielders Castillo and Noboa. 
    The Swiss are managed by the ultra shrewd Ottmar Hitzfeld and the clincher for me is that Ecuador's qualifying wins were all at home, even though this is their continent, they wont have the support of colombia or uruguay and at a very backable 6/4, Switzerland are the pick

    France Honduras - Ribery missing of course and France traditionally start slowly but they have quality all over the park, I really cant see Honduras beating Lloris - France to win to nil at 5/6 and/or France -1.5 at even money.

    Argentina Bosnia - of course Argentina are predictably short to win here but i wont be touching the win market, Zabaleta, Garay, Fernandez and Rojo is not a world class backline and I like Dzeko and one of his henchmen to strike.
    Bosnia are 4/5 to score which is very acceptable as is the over 2.5 at the same price - I'm also going to grab some 2-1 on over 3.5.
