You bet. Yes, TURK have been a disaster. Amazing that they couldn't score vs 10-men.

Yep I agree it was on a plate for them.

frustrating it happens unfortunately next game up ugh

[packerd_00]

Late drama. GERM wins, 2-1.

Yeah Ivory Coast were playing for the draw. God knows why they didn't take advantage of that 2 on 1 breakaway late in the game.

A few scoring notes:
*Germ/IvC lands on 1.
...So, gross payout = Even $$. Risk of 1 returns Gross of 1.

*Scotland +.75 loses by 1. On the 2-way line, odds are split +0.5 and +1.
...SCOT pushes the 1 and loses the .5. So, gross = 0.50 (on the dollar).
...MAR wins the -0.5 and pushes the -1. Gross = 1.50 (on the dollar).

Props to Kami/Chief on the ECU/CUR draw. 0-0, very nice hit.

STANDINGS. Guys at the top look pretty strong:

[ChuckyTheGoat]

In fairness, I think the Offsides call was correct. No more "Daylight rule." He needed to hold back for 1/10 of a second.

Not that impressed by BELG. But I do think their goal is coming:
*IRAN HC would be well-served to make multiple subs at half.

Opti, you're doing very well.

I'll be rooting hard for New Zeal in the game tonite:
1) They looked good vs Iran.
2) Been a group of Draws.
3) Opportunity knocks! Chance for NZ to go top of group!

Thx, Kami. Always good if we can point each other in the right direction:
1) This tournament has had a lot of Draws (if not the huge upset).
2) My instinct is that the Rd3 picks will be very tough.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

More big-name Favs today. Just my opinion: CLOSER than the experts think (on the first 3 games today). GL, boys.
