Germany going to regret not putting one of the many chances away.

Exactly....
74% possession and 25 shots and end up losing.
I see you didn't bother with Germany in your bet Bayern.

They are in but dutching the result to close if i can get that far

I meant the match vs Japan.
Would have knocked plenty out their bets that result

The HW system does not permit one to take the same team twice. Besides wasn't confident Germany would win, but on the balance of play, they should have. The bet i used above, the last game Spain v Germany, i went Spain win, the draw, and Germany win. After this result, they have to pull a rabbit out the hat, and so do Argentina, so there are two must win games for the next round, so far.

Spain v Costa Rica, went for the first goal to be scored between 21 and 30 minutes, 5/1. Doesn't have to be Spain who score. Can't make money backing Spain.

Well the Germans another weak link 😪

As least Spain came to the party with no pressure on how to beat Costa Rica who could not Pasa Doble never mind a ball.
Plus the Belgian team had no waffle for another bit relief for the punters.

Let's look at today's options

Today's games look hard calls and no punts until I gain a bit confidence.

Slight preference

Swiss
Brazil
Uruguay
Portugal 🇵🇹 for the lads at the pub

Good Punting 👍

0-0 half time could be an option

After today's games we would have watched all the teams play and so get a better understanding on how to make selections going forward.

Watch out for Japan and South Korea, those guys can be programmed.

The World has just come out of a life threatening pandemic where it was law to cover our faces with a mask.
Yet Gerrie goes to a conservative country and cover their mouths?
If only they covered their goalmouth. And played with the urgency of scoring goals instead of kicking the ball around like a Sunday picnic outing.
Japan will start favourites to beat Costa Rica and will lose to Spain who look set to top the group after putting Gerrie to the sword.
Adios Gerries.

What about a win for Portugal and Ronaldo scoring a goal 🤔

Worth a bet, the probability of Ronaldo scoring is huge considering he takes most of their free kicks, takes the penalties, is their target man, very few can compete with him in the air, above all else, his self confidence/belief.

The added time plus added time on added time is a bit much. Could change the outcomes of games and I'm sure there will be lots of objections.

Think it is reasonable, otherwise it is open to time wasting (abuse) by the team leading, e.g. just collapse "injured" for 4 of the (say) additional 5 minutes.
