I decided to finally put some money on games as a lot of my predictions were correct, but Belgium vs Algeria should have been a warning as I put money on them to win and they barely scraped it.
I then decided to go for a Brazil win, both teams to score, Neymar to score at any time and Brazil to be winning at half time and full time. Yeah, didn't quite go as planned, although the Mexicans were outstanding.
I'm doing pretty well so far. Only a few bets not come in. Chile to make the semis and USA to make the quarters at 8/1 and 9/1 are looking better by the minute, and I need France to win tonight to finish off pre-tournament handicap accumulator. The big money one which was initially nothing more than a punt and I had no faith in is also slowly starting to make me believe:
BRAZIL v Croatia
CHILE v Australia
COLOMBIA v Greece
FRANCE v Honduras
ARGENTINA v Bosnia
BELGIUM v Algeria
JAPAN v Greece
BELGIUM v Russia
FRANCE v Ecuador
BELGIUM v South Korea
PORTUGAL v Ghana

Good choices, though Japan's lack of cutting edge will not go down well against the organised Greeks, and likewise Russia keep things very tight at the back and Belgium haven't shown to me they've got what it takes to break that down. I think they'll both be 0-0 draws.
smurf me! Netherlands v Aus! Robben dribbles from the halfway line and scores, then Tim Cahill scores a smurfing thunderbastard first time volley less than a minute later. I don't care, you guys have to find a replay of that, it is a smurfing majestic son of a bitch. Full on twacks off the underside of the crossbar as all ultimate shots should. Woof. My goal of the tournament so far.
BBC still says 0-0 xD
Also Ghana will complete Portugal and Ronaldo's 0-point shaming.
what the hell did you just say Psy? :p
Great game so far :)
I'm babbling because I am just so smurfing aroused by that goal.
For the past 10+ years I have disliked Tim Cahill for his poncey cheating Everton Aussie ways. Today is the day when none of that counts. Magnificent.
Just saw the highlight. Within a minute of each other? What is with this WC and surprising me!
Australia leading against Netherlands! See what happens when the Dutch play a team that actually attacks rather than pointless tippy tappy passing?!
I have both the Dutch and the Aussies in my work's sweepstake so I'm okay either way :shobon:
this is insanity
INSANITY
This game is the best of the World Cup so far.
Rooting for the Aussies now. Van Persie such a nasty little trout, should've walked for that "challenge" on Jedinak, could've caused a serious injury.
yep van persie should be off, shithouse bastard
Tell you what, that Dutch fella in the crowd in a bright orange suit (and an inexplicably green tie) is a beast. I like to think it's EoFF's very own Aerith's Knight. YOU CAN FEEL IT, YOU CAN FEEL IT TOO!
Emile Heskey's strike partner is coming on for the Aussies! I tell you what, if even 1% of the great man's powers have rubbed off on this fella, the Netherlands are smurfed.
