Every team still has a chance of advancing to the KO stage. With a scoreless draw against Ecuador , Curacao can move on with a win against Ivory Coast. Ecuador were touted as a true contender when this tournament began , although a single point from games against the 2 weakest teams in the group wont cut it. Ivory Coast played a competitive match against Germany , and held the 1 - 0 lead at halftime. Germany vs Ecuador game will see several changes to the German line up due to Germany clinching the group early. Despite the changes , the line on Germany went from 1.98 down to 1.62 overnight. Perhaps a sign of Germany attempting to extend their win streak to 12 straight ?
Actual stats from Ecuador / Curacao game show their dominance , regardless of the scoreless draw
Group F :
The only team to already be eliminated from the KO stage is Tunisia , as they have proven to be the door mat of the group with 0 pts and -8 goal difference. The battle for 1st and 2nd , could boil down to goal difference assuming Japan and Netherlands win out today. Sweden still have a chance to upset the scenario with a win over Japan. The one glaring issue with Sweden is their inability to defend. They have conceded goals in 13 straight games , and even lowly Tunisia scored their solo goal against them. The Over / Under has miraculously been propped up overnight from 1.75 to 1.87. With the weather in Arlington , Texas reaching 34c / 93f today , i think Sweden and Japan will find plenty of scoring opportunities caused by fatigue and constant back 4 pressure. For that reason i am going to add a wager to the Over 2.5 @ 1.87.
Netherlands will be playing a very uninspired Tunisia side , whos fate has already been determined. With the 2 games played simultaneously , Netherlands will be on the front foot from the outset , attempting to score early and often. I am going to add Netherlands -1 1st half @ 1.78.
Just my 2 cents. Of course you can always support the theories of K13, that all these useless teams are involved in match fixing , or wait until they are finished in order to comment on the outcome. Another scenario could be to use the words " might be a mush " pre game and boast how you told everyone how you told them it would happen , omitting the word " might ". Any actual pre game wagers were once again unposted , so you will have to just trust him. Good luck supporting the fixed match theory Laker.
I will post the 2 late games from Group D when i have some time later.
No need to start up with me. I have been giving positive contribution to your thread and wishing you well. +125 to draw is absolutely ridiculous and obviously a game like that works well for both to draw but I mentioned that someone might win and no shot I would take crap odds like that for a draw even if it looks obvious. I personally don't think matches are fixed per se but this is the easiest sport to get mutually beneficial results with the draw option. Also I mentioned that tuchel was boasting pre game that he was happy with a draw vs Ghana and then his team didn't even put any serious effort into scoring a goal waiting for lowly Panama next.
Good luck with the plays. I don't see value in any games today except maybe a draw in the turkey game.

I like Sweden +300 and Turkiye +300 today. 9/1 to odds parlay on coin flip games as both Japan and USA are going to the next round regardless of result.

Teams need a point. Kick it around. Both advance.
Happy. Why risk it?
If this is your angle (kick it around and do nothing) bet the 0-0 at much better odds or even the under 1.5 in case a goalie lets one go or PK. But betting the draw at +128 is not wise.

Must suck to be old retired and bitter all the time. It's a German trait though. Miserable people.
Btw weather is not a factor in Dallas games. I thought we cleared that up.

Wow
I live a very rich and full life. I have 7 kids and 10 grandkids. My friends span a lifetime of great memories through various means , soccer clubs , work , neighbours etc. I feel blessed and return my love deeply to all aforementioned.
I chose to vent on a Troll who sees fit to come into this thread after each of my losses and take shots at me. I was shocked to see that you chose to support one of his anti thread posts. I merely mentioned it in passing.
if you deem me to be this other person that you described , that's your choice.

I didn't support any of his posts. I merely laughed at the odds on the draw. I don't support him at all. I've been supportive of you but taking shots for no reason saying what you did in the ivory coast pick post not necessary man. I'm not going to clutter up your thread with my picks. I'm hear to talk soccer and you love the sport. Don't let him get to you. He has always been like that.

franz555 +1 with the above and not letting people get under your skin. K13 is pathologically negative but it's not like he is coming at you personally by just disagreeing with sport opinions a lot. You were worried I have some problem with you personally this week due to you disagreeing with me in a very similar way to how K13 disagrees with you. And now you are thinking Laker is against you too. I don't want to speak for other people but I am pretty sure all people commenting in this thread kind of want to hear what you have to say and are interested in your opinions and are not against you. Try to see the positives, because honestly you do bring down the vibe with the way you get offended so easily. Not worth it and from standing back here, it doesn't even look justified.

Please note Post 538 just above. I am the ONLY OVER backer in this thread. At no point has K13 expressed any interest in the total in that game. This has nothing to do with sensitivity on my part , and everything to do with trolling. You can continue to show your negative bias toward me , but please stop down playing the actions of this individual. I have asked numerous ocassions politely. I have stated in caps " ALL POSITIVE INPUT APPRECIATED ". I made it a humorous thing for a while , then chose to ignore it for weeks. 99% of the posters coming here have been respectful of one another , including Laker , whom i made a 3 word statement about ( No drama needed there ). For the record , find ONE of K13's threads that i have been in to make any comment. This is stalking
Your a moderator who is choosing to ignore and place a bias on me once again.

Do you realize you are the only one in this thread who descends to personal attacks?
I do empathize that K13 is now purposely trying to get under your skin, but that is more about your choices in how to react than him at this point, and I don't think trying to moderate who is allowed to say what about sports bets is needed or a good thing on a forum.
Anyway, you have made your feelings clear and whether you realize it or not both Laker and I are just trying to be helpful and lighten the mood so let's not argue about it further and get back to the beautiful game.
