I'm not touching that Spain game,. I may put a little on Chile -1/4.  That's probably it.  Nothing wrong with taking a day off though.  I should do that more often.

I am taking Switzerland tomorrow on the spread (to allow for the possibility of a tie).  I hope they win which will create great value in their final game where I would like to take a Honduras side with absolutely nothing to lose, and hopefully a Swiss side that has already advanced.

the highest altitude have witnessed the higher goals/game avg...
to 1499 metres.. = 1.578/game (19 games)
1500 plus metres = 2.700/game (10 games)

6/21 Spain v. Honduras is at 1750+ metres

I would go over if anything.  Im not sure about the Honduras scoring part (did you see the finishing they had against Chile?) - but I think Spain might lay it on them today.

Does Mex/Uru play for the tie or does Mexico sneak in a win as to not have to draw Argentina in the first round?

The Draw -150 looks like it has a bow on it.

Thanks again Van.

I was in the Rio/Buzios area for a week last August, I cant imagine the debauchery that will go down there while hosting a World Cup.  Place is fucking phenomenal. 

I cant believe Portugal scored 7 goals today.
