World Cup 2014

[The Golden Eel]

What bets are people going for?

Spain 7/1

Chile 50/1 e/w

Spain win/Messi top scorer 80/1

 

I also have an accumulator at 130/1 for one team from each group to qualify, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, Korea, Colombia, Germany, Nigeria

[Jairzinho]

What bets are people going for?

 

Aguero/Argentina 40/1

Suarez/Argentina 80/1

Suarez/Uruguay 66/1

[Phoenix]

Does Messi take penalties for Argentina?

[Bjornebye]

I did muller top scorer and argentina to win ages ago cant remember the odds. Argentina and messi is the one.

[Jairzinho]

That's why its the shortest price of any combo at 16/1. He'll do fuck all and Aguero will tear it up.

[The Golden Eel]

Does Messi take penalties for Argentina?

Yes

[Jairzinho]

They won't get any in Brazil.

[Grinch]

mandzukic AT 150/1 a good each way bet?

[Boss]

Cristiano Ronaldo 14/1 to be top scorer, excellent odds them.

[Jay86]

Cristiano Ronaldo 14/1 to be top scorer, excellent odds them.

Portugal are shit. They create fuck all chances either, if he's going to do it, it will literally be on his own! Still a good price tho.

[Saintslfc13]

Unlike our Luis neither Messi or Ronaldo seem to play as well for their country as they do for their club. Ronaldo has the excuse that portugal are by and large shit and often choke. Messi just doesn't seem to do it, maybe because he's usually going to the end of the wire with Barca every year and therefore completely knackered.

 

As far as bets go I'm going full Uruguay and parlaying all these risking $100

 

16/1 Suarez top scorer

22/1 Uruguay winner

12/1 Uruguay top south american team

8/1 winner from group D

-110 South america is the winning continent

 

They might actually tell me to fuck off though as I haven't placed the bet yet and it's pretty much all the same bet with the extras just added in to get the odds higher. Allows me to do it on the site I'm getting the odds from though (Bovada). In the event they don't allow me to do it though I'm still parlaying the first two together.

[The Golden Eel]

Messi scored 10 in qualifying, second only to Suarez with 11

Fuck me, what more can you ask for in a team, now that they even "bought" a world-class striker?! That's how I'd play, but Del Bosque probably won't gonna change much, just hope that we won't gonna watch another Barca-esuq team and 75% possesion and 100 touches before actually trying to shoot toward the goal.

It's a wonder Spain have won the last three major tournaments given so many people think they're happy with just winning possession.

Anyone would think they know what they're doing.

 

Looking forward to writing off Tika Taka if they're 0-0 after 10 minutes in their first game.

 

GET IT FORWARD!

More like keeping? Anyway, no they don't but watching Borussia or Real Madrid or this years Liverpool is 10 times more fun and interesting than watching Barcelona or this years Bayern. If you enjoyed watching them EURO12, fair play to you, I like Germany and even Italy better.. Not to take anything away from Spanish technical (probably tactical) superiority, it's a true football masterpiece, hands down. A game that ends 4-0 can be less interesting than a 0-0 or 1-1...

[Bjornebye]

Just read four four two in the train. I dont think brazil will do well at all. They will get knocked out in the first round or quarters and their will be riots .

 

Argentina or spain should walk it

Xavi mightn't currently be what he used to be but I'd start him this time around for sure.

They don't like it up and at them.

[bouncebrigade]

Why would Brendan want the England job? He's Northern Irish for a start, not many non-English Brits would actually want the job or are even considered.

 

He has spoken about managing Northern Ireland but, given his profile at the moment, I would think that is no longer the case.

[fowler9]

Coates is in the Uruguay squad and we loaned him out apparently, I thought he was just still injured!

[Newport]

It's a wonder Spain have won the last three major tournaments given so many people think they're happy with just winning possession.

Spain's style of playing is very well suited to succeed in major tournaments that run over just a few weeks. They seem to be much less fatigued than their opponents when they get into the last few matches and I think it is because they are able to control the pace of the game better than anyone.

 

Oh and Paletta made Italy's preliminary squad. Borini didn't. Not a big surprise as Italy probably has the stronges competition among the strikers.
