    Your right, majority of the public perception has it as a 50 50 game...anything can happen in football if Japanese players perform.

    I make my pick, I give my reason why, Ivory Coast might only draw this game Japan may win 3-1 anything can happen, Ivory Coast don't have a good goalkeeper, defense is weak but has power.

    Kagawa, Honda & the way Zaccheroni has them playing is the reason why its a coinflip, but people are underating this African side, they have too much quality in attack to cause some damage, all depends on what Japan can do offensively.

        Yeah is a good bet but too much juice for me

          Considering I have Ivory Coast to win the match they would need to score no?

            what do you think about BTTS @ +105? With their defenses do you think they would each get a goal?

                I've been taking overs because I had no idea how the opening games would fare, I also knew world cup defenses are shocking for most nations.

                They could both score I'm leaning Ivory Coast if you want to tail on them with me.

                Ivory Coast should score, but could easily be 0-0 considering the odds for under loads of variables, take what you want from what I've said.

                      As a straight up win/no draw bet Ivory Coast is a -140 favorite so the oddsmakers clearly favor their side. You should bet them at +180 with confidence I think its safe to say MakePwithMe knows his stuff.

                          Thanks, rain is an annoyance, Bony starts I like him he has an excellent scoring record, I think the newbie asking about Ivory o.5 should pull the trigger.

                          I wanted to go for Bony anytime but wasn't sure about him starting ahead of the beast Drogba, I have Toure & Gervinho locked in now so can't do nothing, got every side right except Uruguay good start but long way to go yet.

                            Yup, too much juice for the pick em apply that with my notion of Ivory Coast dominating the attacking thirds of this game then pk was not for me.

                            Stupid if it ends in a draw but aslong as it over hits and one of the props its been a decent day.

                                    Analysis:-
                                    Going for the under in the first game, it has under 3 goals written all over it, the Swiss like to contain the opposition being patience with there style, I think it will end in a draw maybe 1-1 Ecuador won't want to lose this one, I expect a solid performance from the South Americans in memory of Cristian Benitez RIP.

                                    France barring Ribery may have been weakened but not in my view, they still possess incredible midfield players like Pogba, Valbeuna, Cabaye, Benzema is an clinical finisher, they will start the group strong should win by 2 goals at the least.

                                    Rolling for the overs for the latter two because I just love too! Took over in the France game because I see 2-4 goals from them, took the over in the Argentina game because I see Bosnia scoring on the counter, Messi's team look vulnerable on set pieces and Bosnia have very good technical players Dzeko & Ibisevic are good in the air too maybe 2-2 or 2-1 to Argentina.

                                      Hey man, you got some solid analysis and predictions going here, keep it up.

                                      Wanted to know your opinion on any futures at the moment, especially Holland? Holland is +1200 to win the cup, looking at the WC chart, if they win their group (likely), they have a somewhat smooth road to the final. All they really have to worry about is Argentina in the semi-finals, Germany and Brazil are most likely to win their groups and travel to the final from the *other side*.

                                      My question is, based on the performance against Spain, do you think they have what it takes to reach the final? That's all I care about, I'll be hedging once they get there.

                                            Great day dude. I am with you on all picks today except one. The only one I don't have the guts to do is sticking 5x on the French to win today. Historically they can struggle early and this Honduras team is a bit of an unknown. A few of my pals have said they could be a dark horse for group so that scares me. Love the rest of the plays (will play France -1.5) as no juice. Good luck on the day

                                                  Wanted to know your opinion on any futures at the moment, especially Holland? Holland is +1200 to win the cup, looking at the WC chart, if they win their group (likely), they have a somewhat smooth road to the final. All they really have to worry about is Argentina in the semi-finals, Germany and Brazil are most likely to win their groups and travel to the final from the *other side*.

                                                  My question is, based on the performance against Spain, do you think they have what it takes to reach the final? That's all I care about, I'll be hedging once they get there.
                                                  Holland have a great chance to reach the final after that win & performance, you have to understand to beat the defending champions in that manner will give a boost for the rest of the competition.

                                                  They have every chance to reach the semi finals, I wish I had them instead of Uruguay, will be tough for Forlans team to qualify now.

                                                  Van Gaal working his miracles tactically, I always knew the team would surprise Spain...everyone was underrating there young defense but not me, my play on Holland to win the group +300 is looking nice now, don't want to jinx too early they have to play a great Chile team & Australia showed there no pushovers.

                                                      Thanks lets not get too ahead of ourselves long way too go yet, got 7 out of 8 sides right (fk uruguay)

                                                      I understand France scares you but you need to understand Honduras can't match them its not like Costa Rica vs Uruguay they had abit going for themselves, this will be a french win no doubt.

                                                            Lines U2?

                                                            Indicates this game will be low scoring, with how this world cup has been going it would not be wise, I like the under here I would say U2 is a nice play considering you won't be eating the juice with U2.5

                                                            Could be 0-0
