Bailey Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bloody unlucky Algeria. Great game to watch. France v Germany will be a humdinger. It will be the perfect clash of styles and I think France will have that little bit more quality in the final third to expose Germany where Algeria couldn't. I would be benching Giroud mind.

verreauxi Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28102841 I reckon Verreauxi's behind it personally . Ha, yep, I got a throng of Thai bookies and a goon-squad of Albanian muscle. I just have to pick which teams will prevail...And it will be so.

verreauxi Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Everyone has a 2nd team in the WC. Who is (or was) your second team, the guys you root for when your not supporting your first team? And why? USA is my first team Mexico is my second due to having lived there for about 4 years as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two top goalies who are fearless and have no problem running 20 yards out of the box to shut down a play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The old sporting adage: 'Its better to be lucky than good'. If you apply this to the World Cup it must mean that Germany or France will win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 My 2nd team is just teams from our region, so this time Costa Rica and Mexico and Honduras. I'm majority slovak decent so last World Cup I have them a shout as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 off to the fanzone by the lake to watch the Swiss most likely get murdered... Well that just isn't in the spirit of the game. First biting. Now 1st degree murder. You're right to predict the downfall of the beautiful game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Bar Messi and to some extent Lavezzi this Argentina side are awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Really poor performance from Di Maria this half. Doesn't look like he wants to be there. Edited July 1, 2014 by Bailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The only way Argentina are going to score is if Messi walks the ball over the line himself. He has tried to do a little too much himself at times but given what happens when he passes the ball to his team mates it's no surprise.

Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Di Maria with the winner. He has been shocking all game but to be fair to the lad he has kept going, especially in ET and it was a cracking first time finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I wouldn't say robbery... Switzerland have been shocking too. If the US can get through against Belgium which I think they have a very good chance based on the group stage performances, and they would cause the Argies a load of problems.

Was in the car for the vast majority of it; only got home for the last ten minutes or so so my opinion was based solely on the 5live commentary.

Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Fair enough Mike. It was a shocker really. Switzerland didn't offer a threat and Argentina looked like they were waiting for Messi to win it for them (albeit it he was average in ET too). Probably the worst game of the last 16 so far.

MikeO Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 If you're a match fixing mastermind you surely don't chat about it on Facebook pre match do you? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28114493 Der Spiegel "We firmly stand by our assertion, that Mr Perumal wrote in a Facebook chat some hours before the World Cup match Croatia v Cameroon, that the result of the match will be a 4-0-victory for Croatia and that a player of Cameroon will get a red card in the first half."
