Why? Are they playing a good team?Originally posted by k13Comment -
3 games today , with an exciting match at 1pm est to start , between Brazil & Japan.....
Brazil vs Japan : 1pm @ Houston , Texas
Japan come into this game riding a 10 game undefeated streak ( 7 wins , 3 draws ). One of those victories was a 3 - 2 win over Brazil on Oct 14 , 2025 in Tokyo , Japan. In that game , Brazil fielded a team that has little resemblance to the starting 11 today. Brazil started the tournament with a tight draw against Morocco , where they seem to be out of sorts for most of the 1st half. The biggest issue imo , was the lack of link up play between the midfield and lone forward Thiago. For their next 2 group games , Ancelotti chose to play an agressive 4-3-3 formation that featured Cunha sandwiched between Vinisius Jr and Raphina. The change created immediate results, as Brazil scored three 1st half goals against Haiti ( 2 by Cunha and 1 by Vinicius Jr ) to seal the deal early. The 3rd group game vs Scotland was a mirror image from the Haiti victory, scoring 3 1st half goals ( 1 taken away by VAR ), to seal the deal early once again. Japan had an opportunity to win the group over Netherlands , by goal difference , if they could score early and often against Sweden. That game proved to be a very close encounter that resulted in a justified 1 - 1 draw.
Germany vs Paraguay : 4:30pm
This isnt a dominant German side by any means , and has little resemblance to winning teams of the past. Thats not to say that they lack in overall talent , its there in abundance. The issue is a matter of prime time experience for a very young side still attempting to find a set starting 11 that mesh. Todays opponent Paraguay, wont offer a formidable resistance imo , due in large part to the same issues they experienced against the US. They have some very old legs by soccer standards, and lack the pace to deal with 90+ minutes of high energy football. The opening game against the US , exposed that very issue from the opening whistle. Players like Almiron (32) , Velazquez (35) , Gomez (33) and Avales ( 35) couldnt keep pace with Balogun , Pulisic , McKennie etc , and it was essentially over before it even began. The next 2 games may have had different results , a 1 - 0 win over Turkey and a scoreless draw with Australia. Even though they defended well against Turkey , with 10 men second half due to Almiron's sending off , they were on the back foot throughout. Against Australia in the last group game , they were thoroughly out played and fortunate to come away with a draw. My 2 cents
The late game between Netherlands and Morocco should be another entertaining game. I am still on the fence in that game and lean to the Over 2.5. These 2 wagers for now....
Brazil @ 1.80 ( 1 unit )
Germany -1.5 @ 2.05 ( 1 unit )Comment -
Bet365 has a superboost on them to advance.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
Thanks for the writeup Franz. Looking forward to the games today. Not sure what I'm taking but I definitely don't like Morocco to move on.Comment -
Love Haaland and Odegaard's sense of humor. 2 ladies from next door to a house they are renting , dropped by unexpected.....Too funny

Feeling similar thoughts. The Dutch are deep and used their bench well throughout. I think they may have an extra gear down the stretch ( Morocco have an extra day's rest, but needed the A team to win late against Haiti )Originally posted by lakerboy
The Over 2.5 is plus $$ @ 2.20 / +120 range. The Dutch play fast and furious. Dont recall too many unders in their games

Nice hit for youOriginally posted by Kami40
My heart belongs to Canada and the blood that runs through my veins is 100% German.
Can't cheer for your Paraguay draw wager in good faith. Lol
GL with all other plays todayComment -
My gut feeling says Portugal cruise through Croatia ( @ 1.85 range )on Thursday. That PSG midfield should own the middle of the pitch. Game is played in T.O , where a large Portugese fan base resides. Any thoughts ?Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
Went big on Germany -1.5
I hope they come throughComment -

Gl guys!Comment -
Portugal probably move on but they haven't shown much. I can't play that game and betting against Croatia is a tricky venture. They are so smart and should be well prepared. I'm probably going to be in Toronto for that. Not at the game though.Originally posted by franz555Comment -
