    The blood that runs through these veins is 100% German , but i am reluctant to jump for joy at the selections made by coach Loew. Why take 3 goalies , and not include a world class player like Sane in the squad ? If you are going to go with only 3 forwards , why do you include Mario Gomez ( 32 and injured for big gaps this year ) ? The good news is that our midfield is stacked full of talent. The other bad news is that our back 4 is a revolving door lately with only Hummels as a regular fixture. Second and third is really up to how Mexico choose to approach this group. Do they play their defensive system against Sweden as well ? It could well end up as a nil to nil draw and start to put pressure on goal tallies in the South Korea games ( I am liking every over 2.5 that they play ).

    Yup, No idea why. I wrote the same thing back on June 11, and people are still asking that same question today. It's a mystery to me too

        Appreciate it. If it wasn't today it would have been sooner then later.

        We just weren't good enough to compete at the next level.

        Teams like Brazil , Belgium and England seem to be gaining momentum. Tomorrows game should be a good indicator.

        Can't wait

          2018 W/C to date : 25 - 31 ( - 2.75 units )

          I know i have said this many times before, but some people just dont seem to get it. There is NO competition amongst fellow posters for me. I think someone who trashes another posters plays or wishes them to lose money , or ridicules a loss of theirs , is a person without any class. To ALL who wager on The Beautiful game....

          Pending:

          Thur June 28 : Tunisia vs Panama

          Tunisia @ 2.15 ( 3 units )


          Sat June 30 : Portugal vs Uruguay : 2pm est

          Uruguay @ 2.80 ( 2 units )
          DNB / PK @ 1.98 ( 3 units )


          Sun July 1 : Spain vs Russia : 10am est

          Spain -1 @ 2.17 ( 10 units )

          Poland vs Japan : 10am est

          Over 2.5 @ 2.11 ( 5 units )
          Both teams to score @ 1.83 ( 2 units )


          Poland have no real pressure tomorrow. The tournament has been a disappointment for a team that had so much hope of making a real splash here. Still , they have some players who can find the net too. Japan are in a position to advance and playing defense has never really been the stamp of this team. 2 - 2 vs Senegal and a 2 - 1 win against 10 man Colombia , show exactly how they play this game. I really love this over at such a generous price.


          Colombia vs Senegal : 10am

          Colombia @ 1.87 ( 5 units )

          Its " Crunch time " . Colombia are a very deep team that have a good nucleus of players who have been in the program for a while now. Players that know how to rise to the occasion and produce when it is needed most. Colombia need to win against Senegal , just as they did against Poland , and i see no reason to doubt them here.

            Hey Franz: Solid thread. But will say this. When you post plays and others are posting plays in same sport it is inevitable that there will be some sort of competition between them. Especially for those looking to tail winners. GL today.

            And the trolling that sometimes goes on is BS imo.

              Hey , if someone feels its a competition for them , whatever floats your boat. Maybe it helps to motivate them. All i am saying is that i hope every poster makes money wagering on The Beautiful game. I am merely trying to put some extra cash into my online accounts. There is no competition in my eyes.

              Thanks Easy

                    Good luck, Franz. Check lineups. Significant changes for both sides.

                    Hazard starting. The OTHER Hazard!

                      Exactly. Should be basically a pickem. If I can get Belgium @ 2.50 with a DNB option......Fantastic.

                        I think so, too, Franz. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. There's also this element of:
                        * England's card-accumulation.
                        * Motivation for seeding.

                        It seems like the two teams are comfortable coming thru as 1st OR 2nd. Still plenty of attacking options. Games like this USUALLY open wide-up, b/c there won't be many hard tackles.

                          To win this group will give you Japan next round. Second place will get you Colombia. Why not play to win this game. I would MUCH rather Japan over Colombia.

                              Great shot. I really think there SHOULD be some motivation to play Japan (instead of Colombia).

                              Who knows how these brackets will break?

                                  That Tunisia game is all one sided right now. Just need to find a winner

                                    I think its because they dont want to wind up on the other side of the bracket with Spain, France, Croatia, Denmark, Portugal, Uruguay, Argentina....etc.

                                    Much tougher IMO

                                        At this stage , you better bring your " A " game against all competition and prey that you get to live another day. Any team that starts to look ahead will be on the beach early next week.

                                                At this stage , you better bring your " A " game against all competition and prey that you get to live another day. Any team that starts to look ahead will be on the beach early next week.
                                                Unless it works and England make the semi's, and then its pretty smart.

                                                But if it doesnt work, its not so smart.....LOL

                                                      Its the Knockout stage , and its where they seperate the contenders from the pretenders. I admire the work rate that this Japanese team has , but depth is just not at the same level as Belgium's. Todays game against Poland was a very good example of happens when you are so reliant on a small core of players ( Haraguchi , Osaka , Kagawa ...). They tend to burnt out since every game was a dire situation in order to qualify. Belgium used todays game against England as a " kickabout " and rested several key players like Hazard , Lukaku , Mertens...
                                                      I mean no disrespect to the great effort that Japan has put in to get to this game , but it will take its toll and show against a much better side with BIG aspirations imo.
