Brazil/Colombia--->OVER 3 Cards @ +100 (1.00 to win 1.00)
That was the easiest wager I have ever won, it should have been over in the first half if the ref cared to take control of the game. I don't mean to suggest that it was one-sided but I think poor officiating let the game get quite messy, diving/fouls, all of the things that a ref like Howard Webb puts to rest right away in the first half by taking charge and giving a yellow card, slowing things down, talking to players etc. Sad to see Colombia go, but proud of the effort they put into this tournament and glad they went down swinging. Brazil played better than we have seen them today, and Colombia looked young and nervous for at least the first half, and not until they got to the nothing to lose point did it all change. Carlos Bacca is the best striker on this team and its too bad he was unfit to play 90 because he really could've made a massive difference.

Both sides can look like sore losers if they are behind, and both sides can look like sore winners if they are ahead. So many times I think, well so and so is on a yellow they will be smart today, and then they come through with the most shocking challenge and will miss the next match. I feel like there are so many outs here, with what can happen in the last 5 minutes with either side ahead or behind that its worth a shot. I might also look at a small play on a penalty kick because I just can feel it coming in my gut, and for all of the reasons mentioned above, it increases the likelihood. I really hope the game isn't decided like this but I am fearing the worst in that department. Mario Yepes WILL go for a terrifyingly dangerous slide tackle in the box, and we can only hope he gets the ball.
Just reposting the most accurate write-up I have ever written

last future pending is Thomas Muller Golden Boot which is not looking particular good, but would certainly be nice...with Neymar out of the race and James Rodriguez out of the race its a possibility

For me the missing players is not enough to get me off of Brazil. I think Dante will be a solid replacement that happens to be familiar with a lot of the German team. On the offensive side I think we will see players take a more assertive role offensively in Neymar's absence and it should be enough to create chances. I expect to see more attacking play from Oscar and I seem to be the only one that believes that Hulk has been quite threatening to opposing defenses. Worth noting that all of Brazil's goals in the knock out stage have come from set pieces, not the run of play, so as good as Neymar is, this is where there goals are coming from. I think the home field advantage is massive and just make things more difficult for Germany. For me I saw this Brazil team elevate their game to a new level in the last matchup against Colombia, a level that many of us had been expecting from them all tournament. I expect that something has clicked there, and they may just elevate again in honor of Neymar. Sometimes this deflates a team, and sometimes they respond more inspired, we will see.
Germany have shown they are a very solid and consistent team, but it is my belief that Germany are built to outclass any European side but run into style of play issue against teams from South America and Africa. While Germany looked very solid against France, I think they were just tactically superior at playing a similar looking system. Against Brazil all that goes out the window, and I think Brazil will frustrate Germany in a similar fashion to Ghana.
I think Germany are a very good team, and have enough to beat Brazil, but to me Brazil at home are still the favorite in this game and at this price I think it is worth taking a shot on Brazil.
BOL to all, whichever way you are playing it, for me this is as good as it gets as a fan of this sport, and above all I'm hoping for a great match that is decided by the players.

Brazil to Advance @ -105 (1.05 to win 1.00)
could not have been any wronger today, what an absolute shocker
not much to say here Germany were better in every facet of the game...on the bright side 1 more Thomas Muller goal might be enough to bail out the whole tournament for me so pulling for him in the final...

I won't ever forget that game today. I definitely undervalued Germany's team before and during the early stages of the tourney.

I will never forget it...of course a part of me is pulling for James, but I also wouldn't mind walking off with some money, and watching him life the trophy in Russia
Still have Messi to make me

however, I was hoping for a late second goal I know 7 goals scored and he had to be unselfish on a couple of them.....come one! At least he has the assists covered now 1 goal in the final should do it! Might be my only wager on the final

Argentina/Nederlands--->OVER 9.5 Corners @ -125 (1.00 to win 0.80)
bad bet...i thought both teams would play crosses safe in the box, and that offensively both teams would serve early balls into the box...what I did not expect was neither team was going to try to score...I am likely done with in game wagers for the tournament and will be rooting for Muller to get another goal...
