    World Cup picks starting 14/06/2010!
    Hey guys, Im new to this forum, have been following a little bit now since nba playoffs trying to learn more bout nba, mlb and nhl capping >D. Ive been a fan of soccer since I know how to walk and this month might be the most anticipated month in the past 4 years lol. Gonna post some picks every day on the matches and give my point of view of the games, hope it help some of you guys that doesnt know much about soccer. Cheers and enjoy this amazing event.

    Picks for tomorrow 14/06/2010:


    Netherlands vs Denmark:

    Over 2.5 Goals (5x): Netherlands is just a delight to see them play. They have great strikers and they move the ball incredibly quick. The only negative output is the injury of Arjen Robben but itll still be a blowout since they still have Top Players like Wesley Sneijder, Robbin Van Persie, Van der Vart, Kuyt... Allthough they have great midfielders and forwards, their defensive line is not that strong and Denmark might score a goal also. Expect a similar game like Germany vs Australia.

    Prediction: 3-0 Netherlands!



    Italy vs Paraguay:

    Paraguay PK (5x): Italy got critized alot when they won the last world cup but in all fairness they did an impecable job at defense, specially from the former Golden Ball winner Fabio Cannavaro. But 4 years later, Italy comes with overrated and veteran players that have struggle greatly in offense and havent been strong enough in defense. Paraguay in the other hand are way underrated and most people seem to forget that they almost snap brazil of the 1st place in the CONMEBOL qualifiers and they have been prooving themselvs since then with great ball possesion,solid defense and great strikers. Most people think that with the absence of paraguays star Salvador CabaƱas, Paraguay doesnt have what it takes to beat italy but Paraguay will use that as an extra motivation rather than as a handicap! They have nothin to loose going all out against the world champs and have a strong feeling that this is going to be first big upset in the world cup . Im leaning for a draw but dont be surprised if paraguay takes the victory.

    Prediction: 1 - 1 Draw!



    Japan vs Cameroon:

    Cameroon ML (2x): Cameroon is one of the top 3 african contenders in this World Cup and they have a pretty good offensive line with their superstar Samuel Etoo and other good international players like Webo. This is going to be a close match but in the end I think that cameroon will demonstrate that they are a clearly favorites to advance as 2nd of the group behind Netherlands. Japan plays a very organized football but their lacking offensive skills might cost them the game.

    Prediction: 0 - 1 Cameroon !



    GL to all of you!

    How come if you think the Italy game will be a draw, you are picking Paraguay Pk? Wouldn't it be better to take them +0.25 or hedge their moneyline with the draw?

        Actually I pick PK cause I thought it was a good safe bet since Paraguay can easily take a win but Italy is always italy in a world cup no matter how bad they are playing, so I think that they can still manage to grab a point. But honestly im kinda of a new in this betting business so maybe ur right and hedging ML with draw might have been a better pick. Thanks for the tip.

        Also good to know your with me with the netherlands game .. Hoping ill be a good day tomorrow.

          So after a rough start, im hoping tomorrow itll be better..

          Predictions for 15-06-10

          Slovakia - New Zealand (2x):

          Slovakia -1: Slovakia is a very solid team with good midfielders and very organized defense. New zealand is just weak, their lack of offensive ability and their poor ball managment will have them defending constantly and Slovakia will take advantage of it. After the draw of the italy - paraguay match, Slovakia is more motivated to win because they know that a victory will give them the chance to fight for a ticket to the next round.

          Prediction: Slovakia 2 - New Zealand 0



          Ivory Coast - Portugal:

          Over 2.5 Goals (3x) and Portugal ML (3x): This is do or die for Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of his team. They know that whoever wins this game, will most likely advance to the next round so both teams will go all out. I Believe that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to demonstrate that hes the best player in the world and if hes on top of his game, beware of this team. Ivory Coast in my opinion is the best african team in the World Cup with great defense and midfielders (Eboue, The Toure Brothers) and of course a top of the line scorer like Drogba alltough its not 100% that hell play due to his shoulder injury. So I expect a very active game with at least 3 goals and in the end, Portugal will take the victory.

          Prediction : Portugal 2 - Ivory Coast 1



          Brasil - North Korea:

          Brasil -2 1/2 (4x): So its the perfect chance for Brasil to gain momentun and confidence against one of the "weakest" teams in the world cup (fifa ranking: 106) but dont be fool by those ranks, mean crap but also be aware that little do every1 knows bout this team only that they are fast and most likely will play by their court and trying to counter attack to surprise Brazil. But Brasil defence line is in my opinion one of the best if not the best defense in the whole world cup, so I dont believe North Korea will be able to have too many chances. The attack of brasil lies on KAKA, whos the soul and hope for this team and along with robinho, luis fabiano, elano and help from behind from Maicon, Bastos, theyll have a lot of goal chances and trust me, they wont miss much
          .
          Prediction : Brasil 3 - North Korea 0

          GL
