GERMANY V GHANA....8pm
The Germans looked good in their opening match and should be way to good tonight against a poor Ghana team. The Africans in general have been a poor bunch and i cant see anything but a big win for Germany by at least three goals. Tonights bets GERMANY 4-0 @ 12/1.........4 points GERMANY 5-0 @ 25/1.........3 points MULLER OVER 3 GOALS @ 16/1....3 points GERMANY TO WIN BOTH HALVES @ 7/4.......10 points Total wagered.......20 points |
I think Ghana are one of the better African teams, I've dutched 3-1 & 2-1 Germany.

GERMANY 2 GHANA 2
Another boring world cup match.......8-P A great second half with four goals shared. Tiredeyes was right Ghana played really well and could have taken all three points if they would have just played the ball at the right time. The Germans played their part to and the last 10 mins were end to end with both teams going for the win. This opens up the group now as if the USA beat Portugal tomorrow they are through and if Portugal win then ANY of the four can still make it to the knock out stage. Tonights Bets. All lost New balance....192 points Tomorrow we look at the 5pm Kick off BELGIUM V RUSSIA |
I'd been doing great earlier, been trying a daily results treble, had two up and a few under/over 2.5 goals doubles, not had a winner for a few days lately though !
Going for .. Belgium v Russia South Korea v Algeria USA v Portugal S Korea v Algeria under 2.5 Belgium v Russia over 2.5 Belgium 2 -1 Russia USA 1 - 2 Portugal Juts small stakes. |
Yes Tom the over 2.5 goals is going well as are the pen bets...
I can see things getting a bit tighter as we go into the knock out stages. |
BELGIUM V RUSSIA.....5pm
The dark horses Belgium make their second appearance today after a lack lustre performance in their opening match. The Russians were poor and are the only country that has a squad made up from players that only play in Russia so i doubt many household names today. Belgium have a lot of talent and should win this match to qualify with a game to spare. Todays bets. BELGIUM TO WIN @ 6/5..............15 points BELGIUM TO WIN 3-0 @ 14/1.......4 points FIRST GOAL...MIRALLAS (BELG) @ 8/1.....3 points BELGIUM TO WIN BOTH HALVES @ 7/1.....4 points Total points wagered.......26 |
BELGIUM 1 RUSSIA 0
This world cup has been very entertaining a word that cant be used to describe this match...:eek!: On paper Belgium has a very good squad but on the pitch its a different matter ..there doesnt seem to be any team spirit and every ones playing their own game which for 87 mins tonight was total crap The Russians should have won but they had no one who knew where the goal was.. Then a goal out of the blue saved Belgiums blushes and sent them through from the easiest group in the world cup. I hope non of you have backed the so called "dark horses".......:eek!: TODAYS RETURNS BELGIUM TO WIN @ 6/5 ....15 points NEW BALANCE.........199 points Tomorrow we look at BRAZIL V CAMEROON AT 9pm |

BRAZIL V CAMEROON...9pm
The host who have already qualified play their last group match tonight against a Cameroon team that have so far bee awful... I havnt been that impressed with Brazil but if they are going to knock in a few goals tonights the night... The problem with these last group matches is that usually there is not a lot to play for so most of the players in teams going home are thinking of a holiday then three points. Brazil will win in a canter and i think we will see at least ONE pen tonight...

BRAZIL 4 V CAMEROON 1
Well what did we learn from that ? For me it was that as soon as Brazil come up against a side that can shut them down quickly and have a bit of attacking flair the Brazilians will falter. They wont make the final even though the draw is in their favor. They are poor at the back and will get exploited like they did when the French best them in the final 8 years ago. Alves and Marcello are way too attacking and Luiz makes poor decisions and that will be their downfall Tonight they beat a poor Cameroon team and to be honest struggled to do that. Tonights returns.

Costa Rica @ 3/1 is massive imo, that's what I'm on.
Also Stan James have a free £5 bet if you wager £5 on the under/overs trebles and upwards on Tuesdays games, I'm doing it anyway so it's a free punt at an under/over treble, I've gone for ... Code:

I think we will see a similar game tonight as what we saw with Spain against the Aussies.
The second team wanted to make a point.....:eek!: |

ENGLAND 0 COSTA RICA 0
Now cast your mind back 11 days...... Costa Rica were the "whipping boys" of this group. Tonight Costa Rica are through as group winners and we are coming home after a toothless farewell ..... Nine changes but for me our tamest performance of the three...NO striker and no real attempts on their goal. The old man Lampard was by far our best player... Here are my ratings....:eek!: FOSTER......6..... NOTHING TO DO JONES.......5.......Not good enough for premier league let alone world cup CAHILL......6.......Under no threat from a poor Costa Rica SMALLING....6....Could be one for the future SHAW.........5.....£35 million really? WILTSHIRE....5....Poor and maybe not that fit LAMPARD......7.....STAR MAN BARCLAY......6.....Needs more time.

STIRLING.....4....One good game the rest of the time POOR GERRARD.....4....One last game ROONEY.......4....Why bother. This squad is not good enough and if Hodgson continues to not play a real striker then we carry on qualifying against part timers and then coming home earlier then a package holiday. TONIGHTS BETS All lost. New balance...179 Next match....Tomorrow......ECUADOR V FRANCE....9pm |
great performance,great result, these words sum up Hodgsons post match comments,
my comment is flock off hodgson and the F.A. |
It just goes to show that Hodgson has NO tactical 'nouse' .:brains:
Yes he's a nice guy, the same as Moyes but useless o:D Surely now there's only one manager who is capable of getting the best squad together, and the best motivator ;) And that is Hose Mourinho :eat: |
I thought everyone said England should be managed by an Englishman :h?:

ECUADOR V FRANCE
The French are back for their final group game and i would expect quite a few changes as they have breezed through the group. The have a decent squad so i still think they will be way to strong for Ecuador tonight. Tonights bets. FRANCE & OVER 2.5 MATCH GOALS @ 6/5...........15 points FRANCE TO WIN BOTH HALVES @ 7/2.................10 points REMY (France) 2 OR MORE GOALS @ 8/1..............cancelled not playing FRANCE FIRST GOAL........MITUIDI @ 16/1..........2 points TO SCORE AT ANYTIME.....MITUIDI @ 11/2..........4 points Total points wagered........31 |
FRANCE 0 ECUADOR 0
20 French shots on goal and failed to score tells the story of this one. Six changes for the French who played the game at half speed even after Ecuador had a player sent off. But after this then maybe the French will get luckier in front of goal when they most need it. So its off to ate last 16 and a date with Nigeria for The French and its back home for Ecuador. Tonights Bets All lost again (we need to get a run going) New balance........138 Tomorrow we look at the 5pm game.... USA V GERMANY |
GERMANY V USA....5pm
This should be a decent game. Germany are quite a few peoples fancy to win this and the USA so far have been a team that looks like it wants to do better then most think it will. The USA also have Klinsman as coach that will also add to the excitement against the country he played so well for. I think this might just be a tight encounter with the odd goal winning it for the Germans. Todays Bets FIRST GOAL..MULLER (GER) @ 4/1...........5 points FIRST GOAL...DEMPSEY (USA) @ 10/1......3 points DRAW 2-2 @ 12/1...................................3 points GERMANY 2-0 @ 8/1................................4 points SCORE DRAW @ 7/2................................5 points Total wagered.......20 points |
I like the look of this game Tony (and your picks) .. I'd love to see the yanks nick it though o:D
|
GERMANY 1 USA 0
The Germans won with a Thomas Muller goal in the second half of a game which didnt really live up to expectations. The USA might not be anywhere near a top international team but they are through to the knockout stages on their never say die attitude. The Germans were poor and the USA didnt really create a decent chance till injury time when they really should have equalised on a couple of occasions. The Germans march on to play possibly Algeria or Russia and the USA looked booked to face Belgium. TONIGHTS BETS LANDED FIRST GOAL..MULLER (GER) @ 4/1...........5 points New Balance........143 points So our next bets will be the two last 16 games on Saturday. BRAZIL V CHILE at 5pm COLUMBIA V URGUARY at 9pm |
So the group stages are over and what have we learnt from those?
Firstly Spain the holders just didnt turn up and i think this Real Madrid / Barcelona thing is something to do with it. They played in the first two matches like a group of 11 players who didnt get on and showed no real heart especially in the game against Chile who in my opinion are no world beaters. Secondly England...I thought we played ok in the game against Italy but as i have said a few times now the lack of a "plan B" was always going to be our downfall. We never had a man in the box when needed and rarely had runners attacking the space in the 18 yard area, the only time we did was when Rooney scored against Uraguay. Why bring Chamberlin when he obviously wasnt fit ? He should have taken the chance then to bring another striker. Yes the defence didnt look solid at times but surely not bringing Cole was another big mistake as Baines cant defend and was wasted going forwards as he had to keep passing inside instead of getting to the byline due to us not having that focal centre forward most teams have. But lets see what happens when the dust settles.....I think we will see the end of Hodgson in the next month by "mutual consent"...Who takes his place will be another matter but maybe Raffa Benitez a proven "cup" manager could be the answer. The Italians and Portugal were also on the plane home and to me it looks like they are in a worse state then we are. One team going home that i really enjoyed watching was Australia...Very limited player wise but gave it 100% in every match and with just a bit more luck could have made it to the knockout stages. The two surprises for me are Holland and France both not fancied by the layers pre tournament but now both amongst the favs to lift the cup. For me i think the Dutch may not be quite as good against a well organised side but they have what looks like an easy ride to the semis playing Mexico next then the winners of Costa Rica and Greece. The French are my pick to win it now even though they have a fairly tough game against Nigeria and then possibly Germany to make the semis where the hosts Brazil may well await. Brazil and Argentina havnt really looked as good as we all expected but i can see them improving as this goes on and must both make the semis. The small nations like Costa Rica, Algeria and Columbia have all be a joy to watch along with the spirit and fitness of the USA. I think Columbia might just surprise Uruguay who after loosing Suarez will lack some bite up front. So we look forwards to the knockout stages where i see the games being a lot tighter then the group ones and i can see a couple of these games going all the way to pens... I cant see many shocks so my Semi Final line up will be. BRAZIL V FRANCE ARGENTINA V HOLLAND Both games being repeats of finals where France and Argentina came out on top (1998 & 1978) Lets hope it continues to entertain us and also that we show a profit on our bets.....:news: |
BRAZIL V CHILE 5pm BBC 1
The hosts are the first to play in the last 16 against Chile who have surprised a few with their entertaining style. I feel Brazil will be too quick and to powerful for Chile although i dont see that much in the final result. When you have the scoring power of Neymar you have a decent advantage even before the game kicks off. So its Brazil for me to be the first team through. Todays Bets BRAZIL to WIN BOTH HALVES @ 11/4.........8 points BRAZIL TO SCORE A PEN @ 6/1..........4 points OSCAR FIRST GOAL @ 10/1................3 points OSCAR TO SCORE AT ANYTIME @ 3/1........6 points SANCHEZ FIRST GOAL @ 10/1.................3 points Total wagered.....24 points |
BRAZIL 1 V CHILE 1 (AET)
BRAZIL WIN 3-2 ON PENS I said earlier these games would be tight and this one was. A really good first half with both goals coming in a 15 min spell. The second half and extra time didnt really live up to the first 45 mins and even though the BBC commentator was trying to make it sound like the greatest game we had seen ...it wasnt. Brazil are there for the taking and non of the europeans should fear playing them. Their front man FRED is a lucky guy.....Because if Brazil didnt also have JO then FRED would be the worst striker they have ever had....8-P Oscar was so anonymous that Scolari only remembered he was on the pitch at half time of extra time when bringing him off. This Brazil team are very over rated and any team that attacks them down the flanks will get rewarded. Tonight they were lucky against a Chile team who i thought might just have edged it and could have won it with the last kick of the game if the bar hadnt saved them. So Brazil go on to the last eight but even though they should best either Columbia or Uraguay i can see then not making the final as in the semis either the Germans or the French will wipe the floor with them. Also how they allowed Luis to keep the first goal when it clearly didnt touch him before going in amazes me and of course our first scorer on Sanchez is a looser...:eek!: Tonights Bets.....All lost.....:-C New balance.....119 |
URUGUAY V COLUMBIA...9pm ITV
So onto game two and another South American encounter. Obviously Uruguay are missing Suarez but they should still be ok going forward as Cavanni is a class finisher.. But i fancy the free scoring Columbians to cause a bit of a shock here and go on to face Brazil. I can see this being a dirty game so a pen or two looks likely as does a sending off. Tonights Bets PENALTY IN MATCH @ 3/1..........9 points COLUMBIA TO SCORE A PEN @ 12/1......3 points URUGAUY TO SCORE A PEN @ 8/1.......3 points RED CARD IN MATCH @ 3/1..........5 points COLUMBIA TO WIN 3/1 @ 18/1......3 points DRAW 90 MINS 2-2 @ 18/1.........3 points Total points wagered........26 |
Good luck Tony ..
Have to say that Brazil game was brilliant to watch o:) |
URUGUAY 0 COLUMBIA 2
A poor game in which Uruguay failed to score and play with any passion I was expecting a cut and thrust South American battle but in reality it was a timid match with Columbia never really looking in trouble. They go forward to play Brazil in the last eight on Friday which promises to be a lot better match for us fans.. Tonights Bets......ALL LOST New Balance....93 Points |
HOLLAND V MEXICQ...5pm
The third of the last 16 matches sees The Dutch who have surprised a few take on the Mexicans. The Dutch have looked decent in two of their three games and with the fire power of Van Persie and Robben i can see them winning this game with a bit to spare. Mexico are average at best and although they are quite organised at the back i think they lack goals. Todays Bets HOLLAND TO WIN BOTH HALVES @ 7/1.......6 points PENALTY IN MATCH @ 114/........................6 points ROBBEN TO SCORE 2 OR MORE @ 10/1.......3 points HOLLAND TO WIN 3-0 @ 16/1....................3 points HOLLAND TO WIN 4-1 @ 40/1....................1 point Total points wagered.......19 |
Good luck Tony ..However I think there could be a big surprise here with a Mexico win :eek!:
|
HOLLAND 2 MEXICO 1
The Dutch left it late to come from behind to win this.... For 85 mins they looked second best especially after a wonderful opener by Dos Santos but for once Mexico failed to clear a corner and Sniejder pounced to level Then with 3 mins of the 6 mins injury time Robben was foulded in the area and Hunterlar made no mistake from the spot to put a relieved Dutch team through. So the Dutch go through to the last 8 and maybe they can still go all the way. Bets Landed PENALTY IN MATCH @ 11/4 New Balance.....98 points |
COSTA RICA V GREECE 9pm
Costa Rica have been the big surprise of this world cup and could still go further if they can best the Greeks. But Greece are a team that do well in competitions like this and i think they might just edge this one tonight. I can see a tight game but maybe with a few goals as both teams have the ability to get men forwards. Tonights Bets. GREECE TO WIN @ 2/1..........8 points OVER 2.5 GAME GOALS @ 2/1.......10 points PENALTY IN MATCH @ 3/1..........6 points DRAW 2-2 @ 20/1.....................3 points SAMARAS (Greece) TO SCORE AT ANY TIME @ 4/1........6 points Total points wagered.....33 |
Holland got lucky today with two very late goals....
But... They have a bye into the semis having to play either Costa Rica or the Greeks in the last eight. It amazes me how so called decent teams are home and teams like this are still there...:eek!: |
GREECE 1 COSTA RICA 1 (AET)
COSTA RICA Win 5-3 on pens Another match that went down to the wire. The "whipping boys" Costa Rica go through to a last 8 meeting with Holland after playing just over an hour with 10 men against a Greek team that were about as poor as you can be. Costa Rica defended great but the Greeks really had no idea what to do when Costa Rica went down to 10 and only an injury time goal took the game to extra time. In that period the Greeks should have won easily but with no adventure and some players who frankly should not have been at a world cup they failed to break the 10 men down and lost the penalty shoot out to exit the competition and anyone whos not Greek will be pleased to see them go. Tonights Bets......All lost New balance....65. |
FRANCE V NIGERIA..5pm
Firstly we need to get some points back on the board after a poor run.. This afternoon sees the French in the last 16 against a Nigerian team that could be anything. I can see the French coming through in an open match but you cant right off the Nigerians so i doubt there will be to much in it. Todays bets. FRANCE TO WIN 3-1 @ 12/1........5 points MATCH DRAW @ 4/1...................4 points BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE IN SECOND HALF @ 3/1......5 points FIRST GOAL...MATUIDI @ 16/1...............3 points MATUIDI TO SCORE AT ANY TIME @ 5/1......3 points Total Points wagered.........20 |
FRANCE 2 NIGERIA 0
Once the French realised that starting with Giroud up front was about as good an idea as having JLS as support for Motorhead the French ran out easy winners. For the first 60 mins it was an even game with Nigeria giving as good as they got but this French team are full of decent players and with arguably the best midfield on show at this world cup they took over to control the game. I think this French team can go all the way now and although they should be playing the Germans in the last eight i doubt they will be that worried. Todays Bets.......ALL LOST New balance....45...(might need a top up...:'D) |
GERMANY V ALGERIA....9pm
Surely the Germans will put an end to the spirited run of Algeria tonight. The Algerians have been great but this tough looking German side should easily book a last eight game with France. The Germans started well but maybe slipped a bit in their last game but i think like many teams that had qualified before their final group game they took it easy. Tonights Bets. OVER 4.5 MATCH GOALS @ 7/2.........8 points MULLER TO SCORE 2 OR MORE @ 4/1......6 points GERMANY TO SCORE A PEN @ 5/1.........6 points GERMANY TO WIN 5-0 @ 25/1.............2 points GERMANY TO WIN 4-1 @ 18/1...........2 points Total wagered......24 points |
