    Soccer World Cup - Round of 8 plays

    *France -0.25 (2.10). $200 to win 220.

    *Brazil -0.75 (1.46). $330 to win 150.

    *Morocco +1 (1.69). $200 to win 138.

    Good Luck. Enjoy the games.

    Feel like NED/ARG is a tough cap. If you go deep enough into the history books, you conjure up images of the Cruyff teams vs ARG.

    Cryuff ....... Another amazing player. I had the opportunity to watch him play close up in 1979 for The LA Aztecs. I was on the Toronto practice squad and sat only a few feet from the field. He was awe inspiring

    Cruyff being the left wing leaning guy he was NEVER went to Argentina. They could have used him in that final. Love seeing Mario Kempes. Guy still looks vibrant . Was a truly great striker. Argentina will escape that IMO

    Yes. It still seems so strange that Cruyff didn't go to Argentina in 1978. But he didn't.

    NED beat ARG in 1974. According to Cruyff: "Cruyff said that assailants entered his house in Barcelona and tied him and his family up at gunpoint, with one of the gunmen putting a rifle to his head. In Cruyff's own words, the terrifying experience changed his attitude to life and played a big part in the reason behind his no-show in Argentina."

    Brazil ugliest outfits to date. What's with that weird green? Hard to catch their names and jersey numbers with that colour either

    They are overrated. Their strength is the counter attack.

    Portugal and France better with the ball

    Portugal -155
    Portugal -1 +130

    It's not a factor in my handicapping but it's worth asking. When was the last time an African nation made the final four?

    Think that answer is NEVER.

    Closest I can think of = Ghana 2010 in South Africa. Ghana get the PK at buzzer vs Suarez.

    Gyan misses the Penalty. Uruguay wins in Penalty Kicks.

    Goal, Morocco. 1-0.

    Have to think CRonaldo will be a halftime sub for Port.

    Morocco does it. They're having a great tournament.

    Morocco defense now locking teams out. Only an own-goal conceded in five games.

    Yes, they've played very well.

    I'm a little surprised by the betting action on Eng/Fra. People betting ENG. It's now priced to almost a toss-up game.

    Anyone have insights on that? Sharp $$? Only thing I'll say is that ENG often gets bet up by the Brits...b/c they think it's time.

    ...+$28 (on $730 risked). +3.8% ROI.

    *Pretty lucky on FRA.
    *BRA was disappointing.
    *Props to MAR. Breakthrough win.

    Playing 3rd place game:

    *Croatia -0.5 (2.34). $200 to win 268.

    Pretty straight-forward reasoning. In a game that figures to be open with goals, I'll take the skilled team against a defense that has picked up knocks over the course of the tournament.

    The Semifinal was pretty telling. One defender was on the team-sheet but couldn't go. A second Defender (Saiss) tried but struggled and had to be lifted at 30min.

    Those guys gave it their all and had nothing left. I'd be very surprised if they played in an "exhibition" match. Morocco look spent to me.
