I agree. In my opinion, the winner of this game will be the world champion.

I believe that the football shown by Germany, and the no football shown by Spain, until now, Germany is the big favorite, for me.

Sorry Lakerboy, I'm againt you on this game, but I think that a good capper can't never cap considering personal reasons.

I think that, if Spain play what they know, they will pass easy by Paraguay.

yes, that's true, but the majority of the bets were one sided on at least 2 of the 3 games (brazil and argentina). vegas and everyone made a killing on the first 3 games. If Vegas thought this would be a total blow out spain would be -1.5 or -2 imo. I just don't think the argentina bettors should try to win all of there money back with Spain since it looks so "easy." i might be wrong..

Those who understand football would never bet massive money either on Brazil and Argentina. I swerved ML and played other bets. To good success.

Im not sure I trust Spain to win by more then one goal today, they are not the same team that won Euro2008. They have the quality but havent reached their potential yet. I dont know why they are playing with both Alonso and Busquets, imo they would play better with Fabregas/Silva in the lineup instead of Busquets. And Torres have not been himself, against Portugal he got subbed and when IIorente came in Spain instantly started to play better and scored. It seems like they get stuck a lot this WC when they almost constantly tries to attack through the middle. But Villa is playing good and Paraguays offense is not effective. Looks like a lowscoring game to me.

i didnt make a play on paraguay. you are correct that spain should beat paraguay .

JOHON8 · 07-03-10, 12:08 PM

Paraguay +1.5, I don't trust Spain to win by more than 1, and don't trust Paraguay to score more than 1.

Oh, sorry Lakerboy, I thought that you made because of your comments!

Again, sorry.

SoV · 07-03-10, 12:11 PM

LB, don't let your dislike get in the way of picking the right game. I know you won't but just saying.

I Agree with you when you say

"...They have the quality but havent reached their potential yet.

Let's see if they show some quality today!

SoV · 07-03-10, 12:14 PM

Oh, nevermind. You aren't.

So, Spain wins by 3 or 4?

lakerboy · 07-03-10, 12:28 PM

Paraguay hasnt scored in two games. Spain played really well in the last game against Portugal and seem to be coming on but something is not right with this spanish team. Can Germany get the same break as Holland and play the weaker squad next game? Can the 2 lower tier South American teams get thru while Brazil and Argentina are home?

SoV · 07-03-10, 12:31 PM

Dun dun dun!

Tune-in in an hour to find out what happens!

broadway6 · 07-03-10, 12:34 PM

why is the o/u just 2? another reason why i'm thinking paraguay +1 is the pick....maybe this is a 2nd half betting game...

Mr.Kitty · 07-03-10, 12:37 PM

Im thinking about playing these props:
Spain to win by exactly one goal +225
Spain to win by exactly two goals +300

This way if either of these hits, you win money. Or does anyone think Paraguay has a chance? Or that Spain will win by more?

SoV · 07-03-10, 12:37 PM

Paraguay: 1-Justo Villar; 2-Dario Veron, 14-Paulo Da Silva, 21-Antolin Alcaraz, 3-Claudio Morel, 8-Edgar Barreto, 11-Jonathan Santana, 15-Victor Caceres, 16-Cristian Riveros, 18-Nelson Valdez, 7-Oscar Cardozo.

Spain: 1-Iker Casillas; 15-Sergio Ramos, 3-Gerard Pique, 5-Carles Puyol, 11-Joan Capdevila; 14-Xabi Alonso, 8-Xavi, 6-Andres Iniesta, 16-Sergio Busquets; 9-Fernando Torres, 7-David Villa.

Referee: Carlos Batres (Guatemala)

Well, this World Cup has been really strange.

I think that Uruguay have more chance to pass from Holland than Paraguay to pass the Spain.

Paraguay, for me, played very well the two first games, against Italy and Slovakia. They didn't play well against New Zeland and in my opnion, Japan played better during the game. Japan didn't had luck on PK.

For me Spain played well in all of their games, even against Switzerland. With Portugal, they played their best game, so far. I think that they are just improving every game.

Again, that's all MY OPNION!

i like this bet... i'm itching to bet Paraguay scores a goal +130 nobody is giving them a chance.

SoV · 07-03-10, 12:38 PM

6 changes for Paraguay. It's going to affect them.

lakerboy · 07-03-10, 01:12 PM

How about Spain to win to NIL +100?

bro we should have bet paraguay...

JOHON8 · 07-03-10, 02:14 PM

I'm sick of these referees favoring Europe, why does anyone think FIFA doesn't want video replay after all these years?

broadway6 · 07-03-10, 02:15 PM

can't wait to see what the line is for the 2h.... the Under is the play ( i think)

My bet is ******. There is no way Spain are scoring 2 goals here. Dire football and I'm ******* buried.

You have a shot. When Spain scores the first goal the game will open up big time. Paraguay is playing for a draw after 90 right now that's why. If they get scored on in the 70th minute there gonna need to push obviously.
