    Unloading on Portugal -140

    The Czech are too monotone to win this match. You have to be able to create some chances on the counter against this portugal team and not let them dictate play. They will get in a rhythm quickly. Ronaldo seems poised for this moment and wants to return to the finals again. I can't see the Czech winning this match if Pepe and Cavalie and those guys play solid at the back, Portugal O will o its job with Nani playing a big part too.

    Based on what I saw from the Czech team the first 20-25 minutes against Poland I would agree with you, but after that they played really good I gotta say. Portugal is a better team than Poland for sure but Hollands defense was everything but good and when Ronaldo get those open spaces that he got he's gonna rip you apart. I think the Czech defense will be better than Holland (remember Holland had to win by 2 goals so they had to open up). But Ronaldo is a beast and will surely do everything to make Portugal win, but I think it will be close.

    Because Germany has won it's games with more than a goal difference and Greece has lost theirs with more than a goal?

    No way. Germany is Greece"s number 1 enemy atm due to austerity measures. Biggest grudge match of tournament and personally would look for prop bet of number of yellow cards OVER.

    Under 2.5 goals is a better bet at a similar price.

    Some suggest to bet on Portugal, and some on Czech, then I don't know what to do, but like Portugal.

    Really liking what I am seeing from Portugal so far.

    Do not underestimate the benefit of having the best player in Europe, and thus the tournament. Czech do not belong, IMO. In over their head, they will be outclassed.

    The draw is worrisome, because of how this tournament has gone, but Portugal can score goals.

    Best player.....lol

    That's like having Messi and saying take Argentina in the world cup because they have the best player.

    There's no North Korea's or Iran's to to score on......they should stick to their little club games.

    Best player in the tournament... not hard to wrap ones head around.

    Especially considering their opponents lack thereof

    And yes, I would be taking Argentina over Czech. Why not for a similar reason?

    Argentina is definitely a top 2-3 favorite to win the world cup in my book.

    They've been one of the faves for a while now and never get anywhere.

    The only reason books have a low line is the world cup is in South America.
    Brazil has been fave the last two world cups and could not even make the finals.

    Let me know when Ronaldo/Messi win the golden boot.

    How about a fun 100 point bet, I'll give you Ronaldo to score a goal at even odds. I get Ronaldo NOT to score.
    Penalty kicks don't count.

    This is definitely one of my favorite plays of the tournament. LOVE Portugal -140. I really hate betting against Peter Cech, though. Hate it. Under 2 1/2 is a play I really like, too, but can't stand the odds right now (-140), but I figure they ain't gonna get any better.

    U can get Ronaldo to score anytime at better than Evens odds...if Portugal win then Ronaldo scores...better value than playing them straight up at worse than evens

    Messi will retire with more world's best player awards than anyone in history. Argentina is a better team than brazil. I called the Dutch knocking out Brazil in the WC and spain winning it all before it started and in SA i think Argentina has the best chance.

    Messi is much better than Ronaldo, its not even close.

    For these knockout rounds doesn't the ml go all the way up until penalty kicks? Like Portugal winning 1-0 after overtime I still win right?
