We are on France together and don't kiss Brazil gameboverrr

Funny. I was thinking that we see goals in the Belgium / Brazil game. Just a bit nervous about Brazil's stingy D lately.

Is it worth it to just bet 0-0 Halftime score ?
Seems every team Round of 16 was just waiting for the opposing team to make that one big mistake . There's been chances but seems few and far between especially with the remaining quarterfinalist .
I think 7 of 8 of the Round of 16 was Nil -Nil at Half .
It just seems nobody wants that big mistake , penalty at this stage of the tourney . So sure if a chance , they'll take it but seems pushing the pace isn't going to happen .
Once any team scored , the pace seemed to increase which is should being as you lose , you're gone . So goals then start picking up all in the 2nd H .
The only game maybe a 1st H goal is Brazil / Belgium but I know absolutely shit about soccer but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night , that has to account for something .
Who do you think wins it now Franz ? Best shot at winning it ?
Thank you

UPDATED W/C Record : 34 - 45 ( - 14.45 units )

Pending:

Friday July 6 : Uruguay vs France : 10am est

France @ 2.04 ( 5 units )

Watching both games today showed that Pogba can play great football when he feels inspired. That M'bappe has amazing pace and skill , and that he is playing off of 2 very clinical marksmen in Greizman and Giroud. Uruguay are relentless on defence and have a great 1....2 punch with Suarez and Cavani. When Cavani pulled up with a late injury ( looked like a calf muscle ), Suarez became an island up front , and chances were rare. I have no idea if Cavani will be 100% by Friday, but i dont think we will see + money on France if he isnt.


Sat July 7 : Croatia vs Russia : 2pm

Croatia @ 2.26 ( 5 units )


Sat July 7 : England vs Sweden : 10am rest

England @ 1.94 ( 3 units )

There is no arguing over the stellar defense that Sweden have played so far. The best of which was their 3 - 0 win over Mexico , where they held off a 1st half barrage and eventually pulled away on an own goal by Mexico and a counter against the flow. In their knockout game vs the Swiss , they once again absorbed the superior play of the Swiss midfield ( 63 - 37 % possession ), and found a late goal on a fluky deflection. The game against Germany that they lost 2 - 1 , was another example of them settling into a familiar defensive formation and awaiting a counter opportunity ( 71 - 29 % possession and vs 10 men the last 10+ minutes ). England played inferior opposition against Tunisia and Panama , but dominated both games. The game against Belgium was no indicator of whats to come since both managers chose to rest several players. The knockout game vs a very talented and experienced Colombian side , saw England play a stellar game at both ends of the pitch. They showed great will from the onset and were unfortunate not to put the game away early ( especially the non red call for a head butt ). Getting over a long standing hurdle of not being able to win in PK's will give them a huge boost. Better team , inspired = England win imo

Good luck. One thing as an arsenal fan I can assure you is that giroud is not clinical

Lol.

I love the Holiday Inn reference. Brilliant.

You may be on to something with the nil to nil at halftime. It seems teams are playing not to lose over reckless abandon. I put in two pool sheets that my eldest daughter is running. My wife has Brazil and I took Belgium. I thought they were the best 2 teams going in, so the winner today is my choice.

Some great soccer lies ahead. Can't wait to get it on.

Cheers

I'm thinking they don't do much. The odds indicate they won't go anywhere. It's a transition season. I think they go top 5

Yeah , i am going to wait on the official line ups. If Marcelo is good to go it changes Brazil's attacking approach. Ditto for the back line and the injuries incurred. Mexico came at Brazil for the 1st 20 minutes and were unlucky not to net 1 or 2 goals before Brazil settled and eventually took over. With that same Brazilian back 4 and no Marcelo...... Belgium should be able to do what Mexico couldnt. Then its GOALS GOALS GOALS for sure.

Rumored starting lineup:

Alisson;
Fágner, Silva, Miranda, Marcelo;
Paulinho, Fernandinho, Couto;
Willian, Gabriel Jesus, Neymar.
