    Goldy, that's a hack comment. Cmon, man:

    1) Saudi Arab was possibly THE biggest upset in WC history. Top 5, that's for sure.
    2) France was flying. REally a great performance.
    3) Iran's win today was pretty awesome.

    Stop wasting people's time.

    Playing: Tunisia -0.5 (2.15) (vs Australia). $100 to win 115.

    This is not a good Australia team IMHO. After the early goal vs FRA, looked like a training session for the Blues. Not as strong as previous Aussie editions, they had to go thru Continental qualifier to make it.

    In lead up to WCup, Tunisia did win the Kirin Cup. In process they beat Japan 3-0 in Osaka, a win that looks pretty good now.

    Looks like value to me.

    Playing: France -0.5 (1.87). 200 to win 174.

    ...I know Denmark has had success in recent H2H matchups. I'm OK with people betting into that. Think it plays out differently here on the world stage.

    France roster is an embarrassment of riches. Can lose starters and look unfazed.

    France was flying in the opener. Thought Dembele and Griezmann, in particular, looked dangerous.

    Feel like it's a short price for a team with its eyes on the prize. Fully aware that Denmark won the L2 H2H matches.

    Sure, you have to wonder how much Line Value was lost after Saudi Arabia's historic upset win. This bet is tied to a very specific coaching trend.

    I mentioned that this Saudi Arab HC Renard has an International track record of being a good team-builder:
    *In 2012, he helped Zambia win the AFR Cup of Nations as a longshot outsider.
    *In 2015, he helped Ivory Coast win the AFR Cup of Nations.
    *In 2018, he took Morocco to the World Cup. They didn't win a game but I'd argue they were unlucky.
    *In 2022, he shocked the world by beating Argentina.

    What do Renard's teams have in common? Here's the stat that will make your head spin:
    *Including the last game, Saudi Arab has conceded 0 or 1 in 19 of their L20 matches. Only Japan scored two vs them.
    *In 2012, Zambia conceded 0 or 1 in 5/6.
    *In 2015, Iv Coast conceded 0 or 1 in 6/6.
    *In 2018, Morocco conceded 0 or 1 in 2/3. They couldn't get a shot to go in. Powerhouse Spain finally got a 2nd in injury time to equalize.

    Add it up. In Renard's Intl stops, that's conceding 0 or 1 in 32 of L35 matches.

    Renard lives to crowd out guys like Messi/Lewandowski. I'll try it.

    I don't think you can replace Kante and Pogba. Even though Benzema won best player in the world, a striker is easier. Sure they can make it through some group games but I think the French midfield is gonna get exposed at some point in this tournament, but we'll see.

    Day 1: +368/300

    Day 2
    *Props to the Aussies. Duke scores on a really nice header.
    *Saudi Arab played well. Concede 2nd goal on a bad miscue. Don't count OUT Saudis in 3rd game.
    *France comes back to win
    ...-75/449

    Agg: +293/749 (+39% ROI)

    My logic on Germ: *With some of the name players, I know people will look for Germ to "get something out of the game."

    I just don't think they're catching enough of a price. After disparate opening results, I'd be looking for more than pk(2.20) here.

    *What an effort by the Costa Rican backline.
    *Great goal by Fuller on one of their few chances.
    *A little payback for that Pearl Harbor bullshit.

    Day 4

    *Playing: Ghana Team Total UNDER 0.5 (3.00). 100 to win 200.

    1) This is not a great Black Star edition by prior Ghana standard. Their scoring prowess was down in qualifying.
    2) They haven't developed young attackers to replace Gyan and the Ayew brothers.
    3) South Korea is working on a nice World Cup shutout streak, at 220 min now. SoKOR shut out their L6 opponents in qualifying.

    Didn't they score 2 vs Portugal? They could have easily had 4

    They did. But I view it a little differently:

    1) The first goal by Andre Ayew was pretty scruffy.
    2) I view it as a one-off. I don't think they could do it again.
    3) I have watched Ghana a lot in prior World Cups. I don't consider this attack to be potent.

    *Partey has only scored 4 in 59 Arsenal games.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_...#Current_squad
    *Gyan and Muntari were much more potent than the current options.
    *If they had good young attackers, they'd be relying less on the Ayews, who are now into their 30s.

    They aren't as good as in the past for sure. I look at south Korea as being overvalued just because they drew with the 0-0 draw masters. South Korea will give up chances.

    Maybe. That's why they play the game.

    That game is a tough cap for sure. Look at it this way:
    *Gyan was a 1/2-goal per game man. They haven't replaced him, they missed Qualifying in 2018.
    *So KOR still has Asian superstar Son, 7x Asian POY. And they did beat Germ 2-0 in last game of 2018.

    ...Word is that Neymar likely out. So, do as you see fit.

    Brazil looked very hungry to me (in the opener).
