    Sharkys WC Thread
    Gentleman.

    To make it easy on all of us and not go out and post in every thread WC related, I have decided to keep my own thread active. I hope to have plays on this thread daily and make some serious $$ with you all.

    I dont "crunch" numbers, nor do I go and read history on teams ... most of you know that by now. I simply look at a determined game and see what there momentum is and judge upon that, simple and precise.

    I will be using PINNACLE as my book, so the lines might be better or worse for others.

    So here we go.

    I have looked at both games for tomorrow and to wager on a specific team at this point is difficult, specially knowing that all 4 teams must have there hype at maximum level and because of this most fail to exceed the final goal, which is winning.

    Therefore, I am focusing on the OVER / UNDER .. and here are my picks:

    South Africa vs Mexico OVER 2 -125. Even a 1-1 Draw (which I believe will be the final score) will allow you to push in this scenario.

    France vs Uruguay
    OVER 2.5 +130. Both teams have great forwards/strikers, the type that only need once chance at goal and will finish it. Nothing else to say about this, even though France still scares me and I believe they will not pass to next round (Dont like there defense), Uruguay should be able to take advantage of it and get there first victory (2-1 prediction).

    Good Luck to you all and that you enjoy the world cup for what it is .... festivity, laughter, tears. Reunion of countries from all over the globe to see one at the end standing tall and holding the Cup ... the World Cup.

                    Best prediction I've seen so far.

                        Sharky,

                        You're going OVER on any of these games? GL, but the Italy game is a classic pass for me. I like Paraguay PK, but the Italians are always a surprise. They win when no one expects them to and lose when the whole world expects an "easy" win from them.

                          Wil,

                          All my games I have selected OVER. But this WC has disappointed me, I thought these teams would really show off the reason why they are in the Cup, but just terrible performances all around. I can probably just pick 2 teams right now that have shown what they are all about, rest just make me cry.

                            OVER will start cashing in the 2nd round of games when the teams would have acclimatized.

                                  Ignore them Sharky, those who belittle others rather than helping are usually the most pathetic losers anyways. You know your game, just wait until the 2nd round of games when pre-game predictions are clearer.

                                    Hahaha .. no worries Johon. Dwight and I fireback on each other once in a while.

                                    I will be up by 10 units by the end of WC ... first games are always unpredictable. But we will make it.

                                          Glad you're back and I'm looking forward to your picks. The World Cup has refreshed my interest in analyzing soccer. I started by looking back at what I had done in my last effort, the 2008-09 season. I broke even for the season, but only because I also trailed your picks. You made up what my system lost. Thanks.

                                              OK, so my overs have hurt my picks lately. I just finished watching the Ivory Coast / Portugal game, which the end result doesnt surprise me ... ANOTHER UNDER. These teams are really studying each other and makes the end result boring for the spectator.

                                              I do think BRAZIL will make it happen ... 2 reasons why I think Brazil should go full force today against Korea:

                                              1. The tie against CI and Portugal is huge for Brazil, this is the game they will need to assure themselves 3 pts, a tie then with CI takes them to next round without no problems.

                                              2. GD will be HUGE in this group. Brazil has no reason to keep anything today, they must complete their plays today and have a GD of 2 goals.

                                              Pick of the day:

                                              Brazil vs KDPR OVER 3 +110 (Final Score 3-1). We might even have a PK.

                                              WC Record: 1-2-2 -1.50

                                              Good Luck to all.

ANOTHER UNDER. These teams are really studying each other and makes the end result boring for the spectator.

                                                  I do think BRAZIL will make it happen ... 2 reasons why I think Brazil should go full force today against Korea:

                                                  1. The tie against CI and Portugal is huge for Brazil, this is the game they will need to assure themselves 3 pts, a tie then with CI takes them to next round without no problems.

                                                  2. GD will be HUGE in this group. Brazil has no reason to keep anything today, they must complete their plays today and have a GD of 2 goals.

                                                  Pick of the day:

                                                  Brazil vs KDPR OVER 3 +110 (Final Score 3-1). We might even have a PK. PUSH

                                                  WC Record: 1-2-2 -1.50

                                                  Good Luck to all.
                                                  1 more goal is what I needed from Brazil, darn it. They created enough opportunities, just weren't able to net it in.

                                                  On to tomorrow.

                                                      I have Chile and Spain to take it in that round. But by the looks of Spain right now, same ol' story .... Great team, nothing else.
