Colombia are healthy and very well represented this tournament. Players like Flacao , Bacca , Cuardado , Uribe , Muriel and Rodriguez..... are all available at the same time, and playing great football. The Friendly that they played in Paris on Mar 23rd , showed everyone what they are capable of ( a 3 - 2 win against France's finest ). Poland have a very fast transition game with the likes of Grosicki and Zielinski, who have great pace down the wings. They also have Blaszczykowski back , after numerous injuries At Wolfsburg , who once made defenders cringe at his great pace ( not so much lately ). You wont be able to stop Lewandoski from scoring a few along the way , but the back 4 is very shaky at best.

I will await the opportunity to bet Poland Overs as the games approach, and keep an eye on the June 24th game vs Colombia. Without any key injuries to either side , it will be Colombia for me

Adding:

Tuesday June 19 : Colombia vs Japan : 8am est

Colombia @ 1.72 ( 5 units )
-1 @ 2.32 ( 2 units )

I think the depth of talent between these two teams is significant. If you follow FIFA's World Rankings , Japan are # 61 and Colombia are #16. The core of Colombia's talent have all been with the National side for a few years now. Players that have gained valuable experience playing with top clubs across Europe. Falcao ( Monaco ) , Bacca ( Villareal ) , Cuadrado ( Juventus ) , Rodriguez ( Bayern ) , Sanchez ( Espanyol ) , Lerma ( Levante ). For Colombia to reach expectations in this years World Cup , this game is a must win.

Morning guys. Can you help with the difference between a wager option I have for Morocco at 11a please?

Greatly appreciate the knowledge.

I have the option of a) Morocco -1/2 for +120. OR
B) Morocco +130

Now I understand that with “Morocco +130” there is also a chance of a draw (I lose) or Iran to win (I lose).

So if I have “Morocco -1/2 for +120” wouldn’t it be the same scenario?

Sorry for for wasting time but the knowledge is appreciated. GL

It's the same thing. Play the ML for an additional 10%.

Group C :

1. France
2. Peru
3. Denmark
4. Australia

By no means is this group a foregone conclusion. Outside of Australia , who are a step down in class from the other 3 , on any given day 1 through 3 can easily reverse. Still , going on depth and recent form, and the reinstatement of Guerrero in Peru's starting line up, i am picking them to advance.

Wager :

Peru to advance @ 3.90 ( 1 unit )

Adding: Sat June 16 : 6am est

France / Australia Over 1 1st half @ 1.77 ( 3 units )

Looking just like they did against the US. Not good at all so far

**franz555** · 06-16-18, 05:44 AM

They continue to play the ball wide in the attacking half , but never cross it in. Why ? Because the best player available for a cross into the box, Giroux, is sitting on the bench.

Yes they are so use to that because thats how they play. I think the coach rallies them and tell them to work more from the middle with pogba. Yes they can swing the ball wide but have to look for the middle when they can . Giving it to their playmaker in pogba

Agree , so why play a 4 - 3 - 3 built around your speed and not utilize it.

Poor managing imo

**franz555** · 06-16-18, 06:12 AM

VAR should call this a PK

Missed the ball and clipped the player

**Esco** · 06-16-18, 06:14 AM

Sorry, thats not a penalty IMO
