This world cup has been shit and poorly officiated only korea in 2002 was done worse by officials. Most of the big name star players didnt show up and the bracket was set up horribly allowing Brazil/Holland a free shot at the final while Germany/Spain/Argentina/England were all on the other side. North Korea lost 7-0.

The draw was done randomly by picking from balls. It was live and televised to millions of fans.

England got screwed because they didn't win their group. If England won their group they would have played Ghana and then Uruguay. So it wasn't a big conspiracy to set it up the way it turned out.

they could have had the easiest path to the semis

Did you hear about the octopus prediction? So far this Octopus in German water park was picking the winners by choosing one of the glass tanks with opponents flags. He even chose Serbian tank and the next day Germans lost to them.
Today the octopus has picked Spain as a winner in tomorrow's semi-final.

I heard if Paul the Octopus hits tomorrow's semi-final, he's opening a tout service.

Thing is fukkin 100% so far. Fukk it, I'll send my cash, I don't care if he's human, mollusk, or micro-organism.

Yes I am Goat, im just talking about this funny stuff.

F.Lucena · 07-06-10, 05:17 PM

Hey Lakerboy, I've got buried on the under too, but I was on Holland ML, bigger than the under.

Tomorrow we'll have the best mach of this World Cup.

F.Lucena · 07-07-10, 05:28 AM

Good morning everyone, I'm playing Germany to advance +110.

I think that, for all the soccer that they play, they are in a better form than Spain.

Will be a really close game, but for me, Germany will come out firts to the game, as they always do, try to score first and than play in the counter-attack.

Good luck on your play Lakerboy, and to every other members.

cornerkick · 07-07-10, 05:31 AM

Do you thing it's a good thing to bet under 1.5 goals in the 1st half? I don't reckon there will be many goals in both halfs, but just to be sure...

exactly my thoughts.

and USA coulda/shoulda beat ghana. life.

over 2.5 goals for today? i dont see why not but too afraid to take it. having inner forces telling me no.

Holland to win it all folks

SoV · 07-07-10, 08:37 AM

J-Ro11, overs or unders are tough to call. A team gets an early goal and over is on. Or it's a tight game with neither team trying to risk it.

I'm going to wait till the teams come out before I have a play.

paco · 07-07-10, 08:42 AM

Anyone know what happend to Goat? I see restricted user for him.

I know he wanted a big Points bet on Spain against me.

LB. I gt a very impt question tht i wanna ask u. U may use this question to find out more. Since it's abt line movement.
My books offer me 1.85 for spain to qualify.
Germany @ 2.15.
but
They also offer germany to be elimanated in the semis at 1.90.
And spain @ 1.71.
Does it mean anything too u?

So Spain is -117 to advance
Germany is +115

Germany to lose is -111
Spain to lose is -140

It doesnt mean much to me.

papitopapita · 07-07-10, 09:42 AM

Im not betting this game guys. Im gonna just enjoy it with my buddies. Good luck to you guys.

theplagy · 07-07-10, 10:03 AM

I think if spain wins, it goes under.
If germany wins, it goes over.

I think that both teams will score so i think that might be a good prop bet its currently at -135 at rebatewager

rav_himself · 07-07-10, 10:18 AM

Why not just take over 2,2.5 at +money? I had a buddy who took ur prop for both teams to score in Germany/Argentina and got burned bad.

Cause rebatewager is only offering it at 2.5 its +115 though and they are the only book im using at the current moment

. Im considering taking the over now too

dynamitappletini · 07-07-10, 11:04 AM

I'm on:
-Germany to advance +110
-pk Germany +115
-Germany ML +201
-Germany -1 +485

Hope Spain gets dicked.

Germany very heavily favoured here. However, they are missing Mueller, who has been boss for them. And Spain's midfield is miles better than England's or Argentina's. Tread carefully.

lakerboy · 07-07-10, 11:57 AM

Paco I'm not betting this game pal. That's the truth.

SoV · 07-07-10, 12:00 PM

Fernando Torres on the bench. Pedro starts instead.

MidgetTossers · 07-07-10, 12:12 PM

$Burm$ · 07-07-10, 01:28 PM

SoV · 07-07-10, 01:28 PM

81 % of the action is on Germany to win straight up.

lakerboy · 07-07-10, 03:41 PM
