Penalty shootouts have been a bitch for us,don't know what it is about them that England can't nail down but we've lost to many.

Joe Hart has shit the bed to many times,2014 against Uruguay was a dandy.

Can you imagine if a young john Terry had pulled the crap he did on Chelsea and slept with beckhams wife?

wikkidinsane · 05-12-18, 10:57 PM

England at that price

wikkidinsane · 05-12-18, 10:58 PM

Uruguay is priced well too

Jeez mate the National Team was already disfunctional enough as it is,you had a bunch of guys from arch rival Clubs and expecting them to gel.

Can't see Beckham doing much,bit of a wimp,it would have made it alot worse on the pitch though.

Nigeria has a shot,best young squad

England odds seem low. I guess expectations are zero. Younger squad. Zero chance

Can't just throw you're hands up and giveup hope for you're country.

We won both of the FIFA WC competitions last year.

We aren't falling for the huge hype like tournaments past I guess.I was guilty of unloading on England Futures a couple of times.

Probably will still buy a England Futures bet,just because I don't want to root against them.

Who would you guys put money on to score the most goals in the tournament.

So far ive got Neymar,Antoine Griezeman and Gabriel Jesus.

sweepem · 05-13-18, 02:26 PM

"Mr. World Cup" Thomas Müller. He'll score 5,6,7 goals.

I did lewandowski for the golden boot

Denmark, Croatia, Sengal are decent dark horses.

Portugal has the best player ever to touch a soccer ball

Remember when forlan came out of nowhere and snatched the boot? That was great

I think Poland knows they have no shot but they'll feature lewandowski enough to get the trophy

They are so bad as a team, does anyone know why Paulo dybala isn't on the squad? There's rumors that Messi didn't want him which if true is ridiculous

Because dybala has an attitude problem. He also doesn't fit in with sampaoli system. Based on the odds they aren't likely to win but you never know. Teams have lost the final and won the next one.

Wow rly? So it's true? His skill and talent is high enough that you'd think it doesn't matter? He has elite potential, like eden hazard

Esco · 05-13-18, 04:41 PM

If Messi can pull a Maradona and carry his team the Argies have a good shot at it.
But history so far hasnt proven that. I thought he sucked in the 2014 semifinal and final when it counted the most

He is good. I don't think sampaoli has a choice. Messi don't want him.

shadymcgrady · 05-13-18, 05:00 PM

Wow that's crazy. Juventus seemed to do fine with dybala if he's a team cancer. His talent outweighs it especially with the lack of talent argentina has

No way they win, they are gonna get bounced early. Their ship sailed last world cup when higuan got robbed on a phantom offside call that would've put argentina ahead 1-0 in the regulation time against germany

Honestly I won't be shocked if they don't get out of the group. The odds indicate that might happen.

Yeah mate id never heard of the guy before then to be honest.

I'll put some down on the Pole.

cincinnatikid513 · 05-13-18, 06:01 PM

those odds on russia seem very low 48-1 of course russia playing on home soil is going to get hooked up with tons of penalty chances and red cards for the other team

k13 · 05-13-18, 06:44 PM

Ronaldo/Messi are terrible at World Cups.

Can only score on Nigeria and North Korea.

Phantom offside?? Are you drunk?? He was offside by at least a foot or two

Booya711 · 05-13-18, 06:56 PM

Waiting for seaweed to pick 31 of the 32....I will then take the team he doesn’t pick.

All the US team needed to do was DRAW in their last qualifier against Trinidad & Tobago and they would have qualified for the World Cup.

Messi played in the world cup final last time. Ronaldo will never do that.
