dynamitappletini · 07-10-10, 04:28 AM

So Grump after you gave the german team bad karma last game by saying spain will win, please make it up again and tell me your on Germany

But seriously who do you like tonight? Or just some props?

I think Germany is a lot better, I also think the German side is VERY dissapointed while Uruguay will find a 3rd place one of the biggest achivments of all time.
I think the best bet for this game is OVER 2.5 goals or OVER 9.5 in Corners.
If I had to take a side I would go with Uruguay +1 in 90 min or Germany to win in Extra time after a crazy 2-2 or something.

Spain is a lock for me, they are a lot better, I just didn't decide yet if I will play it or just watch and enjoy.

EDIT: After going over some stats I think the German side is a lock for this game after all:

No World Cup third place play-off has ever ended in a draw. South American sides have met European teams in six third-place play-offs so far, with both continents picking up three wins. It's evenly matched.
Uruguay are without a win in their last 14 World Cup matches against European sides, a run that started with a 1-0 defeat to Germany in the third place play-off in 1970. And with 13 goals, Germany are the highest-scoring team at this World Cup so far.

Germany to win is my play today (small play)

Spain to win tomorrow

dvb07 · 07-10-10, 06:04 AM

Grumps I agree with the over 2.5 goals in the 3rd place game,

The past few world cup 3rd place games have gone over 2.5,the last one that wasnt was 1974.

2006: Germany 3-1 Portugal
2002: South Korea 2-3 Turkey
1998: Netherlands 1-2 Croatia
1994: Sweden 4-0 Bulgaria
1990: Italy 2-1 England
1986: France 4-2 Belgium
1982: Poland 3-2 France
1978: Brazil 2-1 Italy
1974: Brazil 0-1 Poland

The only problem is the price is pretty bad, but it seems like a lock.

dynamitappletini · 07-10-10, 07:56 AM

I'm on Germany pk and -0.5 (-149), The Over 2.5 (-132) and Germany for 3rd (-210)...
May play the -1 bc if germany get's it done then it's for real

GoggsViggs · 07-10-10, 08:15 AM

also agree with the over 2.5 goals in Uru/Ger game. The price is steep though....

in the broadcast they mentioned that it would go to ASSISTS. That would make Mueller the winner. For gambling I have no clue? I guess if the prop is worded as Who will win the GB trophy or who will score the most goals?

yep heard it too... and guess what, I lost the prop

Was just a small bet though and would have been nice to hit
