I
reside normally in MLB forum, but I'm trying my luck on the World Cup. I
have followed International soccer for a long time as purely an
aficionado, so I do not profess to be a kingpin bettor on this sport.
There are so many intangibles in Football especially the World Cup. It
can be crazy and why I'm just betting 2U except for some Futures. I
thought it might be fun to follow some games and wager some spare change
and keep track of it here.
The month long World Cup tourney is a
very special time for anyone even remotely interested in World
Football. That's why I'm here to get in on the fun.

Also I don't expect to equal my MLB ROI over 50% in the world cup. Because I seem like a smart arse, dont think I know more than your average blow joe. I do ofcourse but don't think I do.

First up it should be said, Croatia were extremely unlucky and demonstrated that they should reach the knockout stage of the tourney. Of course the penalty should not have been given. Football it appears is the only major world sport that doesn't have video review and it desperately needs it. I and many others believe that World football requires coaches reviews not unlike the NFL system. Both coaches should be allowed a maximum of 2 reviews of critical decisions per game in major tournaments. The in goal technology will hardly be used while an untold number of poor decisions such as what we witnessed today will be treated as usual as just part n parcel of the game. Well that frankly is not good enough and FIFA have to get out of their conservative/traditional mindset and bring this game into the 21st century.
Back to the game, Brazil looked very rusty, tired (in the second half) and most surprisingly imprecise. Their first touches and ball control which is normally exemplary were today, very ordinary. However whenever they ran with the ball in the centre, namely Neymar and Oscar, they were a real threat, but didn't do it hardly enough. In fact they rarely had control of the midfield today. Thanks to those aforementioned players, Brazil scraped through. Expect to see a calmer and more precise Brazil as they get used to playing together again. They have to do something about their midfield positioning, because they were lucky to get the 3-1 win. Luiz was sensational down back. Id pick him in my team every day of the week and twice on sundays. But apart from Luiz' standout tackles and defensive headers, the back line looked brittle on many occasions. Brazil have a lot of work to do if they are going to go far, not to take anything away Croatia's very good performance.

“I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to man has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams.”
