WORLD CUP PLAYS TODAY (7/7)

TOURNAMENT:  129-103-9 (BIG PLAY: 46-32-7)

Hasn't been good nor profitable of late.  I knew the USA was going to lose, they always do to Belgium, and so we didnt play that.  I didn't think they would actually lose that badly nor play that poorly.  Gifting two goals is incredibly frustrating but doing so to a top level team you already have issues against is suicidal. And that's what we ended up watching.

No idea how they couldn't score a second goal but I have now had literally 3 forwards go off with injury when I have played them as anytime goalscorer.  That's been the tough luck we have experienced. 

No big write up, a couple of things stand out.  One, Argentina opened the scoring before the 30th minute in four of their last five games.  I really like them to get a goal early but then again, Egypt netted exactly one first-half goal in four of their last five internationals.  I'm not sure if there will be 2 early goals, these games are usually pretty mum in the first halves and Argentina has done really well against poor sides.

But Egypt is not poor and I feel can get a goal on Argentina.  Not because Cape Verde got a couple, it took them extra time to do so, but because I think they have the quality to deliver:

YES BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (ARGENTINA/EGYPT) +160...does NOT include extra time

ARGENTINA FH (-125)...BIG PLAY!!!

I will say this...If Argentina gets one early, as they have been doing every game except last, and for some time now, we cannot lose both plays.  A silent FH will be the only way we can.  Otherwise, if Egypt nets one in the FH too, we should at WORST push.  Not what I would want or predict, but the odds have set up that this provides some value to a play that I only see going in one direction.

Here is my warning....for whatever reason, once Argentina gets into the knockout rounds, they seem to hit extra time or play to their opponents.  For as good as they are, and they have been sublime, this has been their trend over many World Cup's.  Puzzling indeed, but they seem to in the end prevail.  I don't think that happens today (or I'd be playing Egypt plus 1.5), but might revisit at half.

As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

BOL

BTTS on DraftKings is +125 

Also Argentina 1H on DK is -145… 

@UnrankedChamp

 Tail or fade 

It’s not 

btts +145 and 1h ml is -120

@UnrankedChamp

Huh?  No it's not what are you looking at?  GET OUT OF HERE!

The line is now +145 you loser.  It clearly got bet down but nowhere near +125.

I don't think you all know how to read the line in soccer.  I specifically specified that it is in regulation time .  There are two ways to play these games is that where you all are getting lost and questioning things?  

Zero respect.

Adding...

ARGENTINA TT OVER 1.5 (-176):. Won't make it a big play b/c of price but they seem to always at least get 2 goals.

@Wingit

Just correcting lines but I’m sure the narrative will change  

Cool. So it’s still off 

@Gatorpaw

People are so lost it's crazy.  They are purposely making stuff up to come in here and hate.  Same as the other night, no idea what anyone is talking about.

Not ONE line has been off, if they are it's a couple of cents b/c of line movement.

Just so confused what the issue is...again.

This guy is such a lowlife and people just watch him foolishly post and don't get on him for spewing negativity for ZERO REASON.

Lines are right, end of story.  Oh, the ARGENTINA TT is now -173 so you all don't think I'm making lines up 

@LAGameofInches

I may be a low life but you got called out by a long time respected poster in this forum, didn’t you? He said the same things I’ve been saying for years. 

Egypt scored 1st which is a bonus now I think a PS incoming and don't let these haters get to you.

Feel bad for you. You’ve been getting some very unlucky breaks with all these missed penalty shots and kicks. Very unlucky 

@LAGameofInches

they seem to always get 2 goals means they are due not to

Did I?  I've seen some other people come in here and say different things.  I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.  Again, just don't come here I put in a lot of time to actually research and post.  You put in a few minutes to come in and troll.

How is Egypt scoring first a bonus? The big play is most likely a loss  Even if the smaller play wins, it’s still a down day. 

Man there’s some witchcraft going on here or something.  The 1H outcomes are literally the exact opposite of the plays. 

@cbbguru007

 Make it make sense 

@LAGameofInches

Trolling is different than facts bud

Now hoping Argentina score to cut down the loss

@LAGameofInches

 Bol 2h I say ignore the trolls but I guess it’s hard too 

Argentina needs to find a way through and break Egypt’s defense. Right now it looks like Argentina is playing a friendly instead of a World Cup knockout match. Save the friendly smiles for after the match over
