Dumb soccer question: why does the market expect brazil to beat netherlands in 3rd pl

[vasilli07]

I like Brazil lineup. All the players who underperformed vs Germany are benched. Coach sending a message about who is going to win this game for Brazil.

David Luiz was responsible for 2-3 goals conceded.

[Mac Roibeaird]

Van Gaal is already looking ahead to starting his Man U job. He isn't going to put Van Persie out into a meaningless match like this and have him injured, and other teams with his star players like Robben are going to be real peed off if he does it with their players. The second string will be up against Brazil, but Brazil is the home team and will show their best to their fans.

The problem was the offense and midfield that couldn't maintain ball possession also known as passing the ball to the other team. Defenders can't be held liable on breakaways.

Actually is the same lineup as Argentina minus De Jong who had a hammy issue.

3rd place games have averaged 4.2 goals. Best play is over 2.5 - 3.0. Wide open play and no one wants extra time. If it gets to 1-1, there will be a 3rd goal in regulation... count on it!

wow great start

dutch 1-0 already ROTFLMFAO

i am taking a mini-shot on "Netherlands to advance +150", which is available on 5dimes right now,

extremely small play due to the motivation factor of a 3rd place game, but getting 1.5 back on my money was worth a shot on a very good team playing the host country minus their biggest offensive weapon

Was that really how it was worded? Where are they going to advance to?

[Scorpion]

wow 2-0
fantastic

i used Pinny's verbage but do not have an account there, i just like to see where they shade lines. they did say "to advance" which was weird

[vasilli07]

Did someone say that Brazil wanted to win it for redemption and their fans?

I am on the Netherlands to win 3rd place.....and here is why.

When a country is favoured to win the championship any time, in a major sporting event and then they lose and have to play for 'pride' they usually get the shit kicked out of them. Look at Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics in hockey.....there are many, many examples of this throughout sporting history.

Brazil has given up on this tournament, they want out of there badly. The Netherlands will want to take this occassion to beat Brazil in front of their home crowd and they are playing with ZERO pressure while the beat up Brazillians will feel like they 'should' win for the crowds....their hearts will not be in this match.

While I do not think Netherlands cruises here with a lopsided victory, I believe that Netherlands 2-1, possibly using ET or PKs is the most likely result.

Brazil looks terrible. Yikes. Even I didn't think they would look this bad.

exactly. i addressed those posts earlier in the thread essentially asking "what is the difference between the germany game and today?" what changed?

these know nothings are too good, this is fantastic entertainment, watching losing sports bettors make picks and give opinions

Come on dude, don't be a sore winner. We have all justified one side or another and then had our asses handed to us. I am with you on the Netherlands, but you never know you are on the right side 100%.

Obviously that's what he is saying.

Homie, please start a thread and post all plays and tickets each day and keep an accurate record. If you want respect that's all you need to do.
