You can do this......you can do this, Franz.

Just one more bet and I think you'll draw even

I couldnt put that one in fast enough. Extra days rest against a team that just played its 3rd straight 120 min + game.

The french can match Croatia through the midfield. Something that England , Russia and Denmark couldnt do.

Lets Cash and enjoy a great Final

Henderson , Trippier and Walker are all out for England tomorrow. Southgate stated that he would give some players a start , so changes will be made to the line up. Belgium are the more experienced and deeper side imo. Still a great price.

Agreed, England is all outta heart after the semifinal loss.

Agree this is probably the worst matchup for Croatia, kante might be the most valuable player in the tourney for me thus far. France should win this but they choked badly in the Euro final vs a worse squad than Croatia so I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see the upset. GL!

I think Modiric would have to be my MVP for this Cup. He has been the most valuable individual to his team ( Perisic gets some props too ). Kante is one of the main reasons that i like France so much tomorrow. He garners so much attention on the ball, and with his tireless running , opens space for players around him. I think Kante linking up with Mbappe's pace will be a difference maker as the game wares on.

Cheers

BOL to all

Esco · 07-14-18, 02:32 PM

For those of you who are picking France, you have to remember that at good odds you have to pick them to beat Croatia in regulation time, beating them in ET or PK's doesnt count.

I looked at William Hill odds and they are only offering 1.44 odds outright, which is pathetic.

Not worth it IMO

franz555 · 07-14-18, 02:59 PM

For anyone who wants to back France to win in 90 min's + injury time added on.....

Several books have 1.95 and Pinnacle now has the line at 1.96

Thats basically at even money

GREAT VALUE imo

packerd_00 · 07-14-18, 03:12 PM

I like France in regular time here,can't see Croatia going to four extra times inarow surely.

Seems to be a common line of thought on SBR

Correct, -104 on Pinny, although I think it will be a DRAW in regular time.

I'm not so sure thats great value. I can easily see this thing going into PK's.
Also, injury time added on, does that mean the extra 30 minutes of ET??
I don't think so.

Risky bet IMO, but what the hell do I know

I agree with you DRAW after 90 minutes + injury time

Thanks for the laugh kid. Clearly, soccer and its rules are not your strength. Best wishes

Is there a problem with this World Cup thread ? I stand by it's accuracy 100 %. All other false allegations that you continue to bring to my threads are really just becoming boring.

Again.....I HAVE NEVER been in a thread of yours, nor have I ever even mentioned your name before. I am no fan of Trolling, and I know that the majority if posters on this site feel the same way.

Great WORLD CUP ( note the thread heading ). Sorry you don't agree, no need to put a negative spin on it.

Optional · 07-15-18, 01:20 PM

Nice job greening out for the end Franz.

4 years too long to wait for another.

Good for you, Franz!!
