I'm with Uruguay too, but I definitely wouldn't call Holland a weak team.

JBT · 07-02-10, 12:45 PM

Let's not forget what this thread is all about!

WiseGrumpy · 07-02-10, 12:48 PM

Doubled my bet on Uruguay, I want to finish this day strong after what Brazil did.

SolidDala · 07-02-10, 12:56 PM

On URUGUAY myself, will be my only bet today on wc! Love that team

CatPulp · 07-03-10, 12:49 AM

WiseGrumpy · 07-03-10, 12:42 PM

Hi guys, loving my vacation ... What a game, A 100 unit bet on Germany put me up after terrible 3 days. Feeling great, and ready to come back huge in a few days.
Enjoy your time guys.

keep up the strong world cup picks

sorokin · 07-05-10, 09:14 AM

Seems like Uruguay have reached their ceiling, not? And without Suarez it and couple of more first team players suspended it would be almost impossible for them to qualify for the final

julio_cat · 07-05-10, 09:23 AM

Of the 4 teams alive, I belive Spain is the most overrated, which make me thing Germany will be in the final. Like Uruguay to win, but it should be a close game. I wouldn't like an all-Europe Germany-Holland Final.

Wow nice hit!

Had Germany too... not as big though

But I can't really see why Germany should lose against a spanish team which had a pretty pathetic game

I was actually thinking Germany vs Netherlands in the final game

Well I guess we'll have to see, looking forward to great games now

WiseGrumpy · 07-07-10, 01:22 AM

Spain or Tie

GOOD LUCK!

SolidDala · 07-07-10, 07:15 AM

Hey up Grumps! Hope you enjoyed some fresh air! Hope to see Spain win this one but I can not go against the germans here, best team this wc... It better be a great game!!

julio_cat · 07-07-10, 08:35 AM

On the other side, as I took Germany to advance. Good Luck and Nice pic.

dynamitappletini · 07-07-10, 08:46 AM

Welcome back WG!

Appreciating your input but can't go against my mothercountry today

I'm making it small because I respect your professional opinion here and I'm just betting to support my team

Let's enjoy a great night of Soccer!

CatPulp · 07-07-10, 01:30 PM

Damn, the Germans are hot. But Spain is such a solid team. Hmmm, I'll back Germany and see what happens.

inthehouse · 07-07-10, 01:39 PM

If Spain can control the ball the way they did against Portugal then it's lights out. But Germany has been lighting up the score sheet as of late. I took a pass on this game!

fly fisher · 07-07-10, 01:41 PM

good luck WG hope this hits and we tear up the MLB

Pajda · 07-07-10, 01:55 PM

so far looks like 1 goal may decide the outcome of this game

WiseGrumpy · 07-07-10, 02:20 PM

A post I have on another thread:
What can I say, the game is going EXACTLY as I expected. The ONLY team on the planet that can shut down the amazing German side is a team that plays steady and smart like Spain.
btw, there was NO penalty in the end of the half, was a great call by the ref.
Germany can score with a quick attack, other than that Spain are doing a great job.
VERY tactical game.

SolidDala · 07-07-10, 02:28 PM

Completely agree and think Spain will take it Grumpy, they playing REALLY well this first half... Well yer obviously no penalty it happened outside the box

Lakers1905 · 07-07-10, 02:31 PM

Gluck

jayroy25 · 07-07-10, 02:53 PM

Definately not the team. I went to school with carli lloyd and that aint her

WiseGrumpy · 07-07-10, 02:58 PM

WOW Spain are so strong, they are so much better. If they lose it's a HUGE upset. Germany are worst than Paraguay today ...

WiseGrumpy · 07-07-10, 03:22 PM

Beautiful! Simply beautfiul!

rtx1125 · 07-07-10, 03:24 PM

GOOOOOO SPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SolidDala · 07-07-10, 03:24 PM

Congrats buddy! Happy for me to, have a future on them to win wc

Congrats on your bet.
Germany didn't really have a good start in the game. They were frightened, what they should not have been. The result was too defensive play and they got pushed back in their own half. No real ideas for offense...
But I can't really see that Spain played much better... Tactic wise they played almost the same: pretty defensive, wait and see counter attack style. Had some good moments, more ball posession and a corner goal (no real tactics behind it, most others were short corners)

Well would have loved Germany - Netherlands but oh well... can't win em all...

World Cup bets: 36-23-3 60.48%

So far ... not bad. Thinking about not betting the last two games and just having fun considering I have a big bet on Spain to win it all already. Still undecided.
No matter what, it was a great WC, to watch and the cash!
