3rd Place Match: Saturday, July 10th

[EaglesPhan36]

Don't forget about this one fellas and ladies. I know we don't have our second participant in this one, but the 3rd place match traditionally features plenty of goals between two teams who are just out there to play one more time and put on a show. You have to go back to 1974 to find a 3rd place match that had less than 3 goals. If lines are set for this match, take a hard look at the over as a way to recoup any losses you may be carrying from this year's Cup.

[Sforz]

yup and top goal scorer often pads the stats in this match

[cornerkick]

Oh yeah, there's that match too... it's played the day before the final, so this saturday. Great, so I won't be spending my saturday waiting for sunday

[Mr.Kitty]

Good info EP, thanks.

[Rixsaw]

I didn't even know there was a 2nd or 3rd place. I guess I will tail ya.

Uruguay vs. Germany

Think the Germans in here works out much better to see goals. Pinnacle has the OVER set at 2.5 [-121]. I would suggest if you like the idea of an over to get on this shit early my bruthas [as soon as your book sets it] because it's probably either gonna be deadly chalk for the 2.5 or quickly push to a split 2.5/3 or just 3 as the total. Getting Suarez and Muller back for this should be dandy.

[LostBankroll]

I want Forlan to score 3 and take the Golden Boot.

[hedgejob]

The over is already getting hit at Pinny moments after it was posted.

[EaglesPhan36]

I can't believe the price on the Germany ML though. -135? Uruguay might be a real solid play in that one for a side, although picking a side in a consolation match would be highly unpredictable.

5Dimes OVER also being pounded. Booking it now myself.

[mihaita666]

already on it with 25% of my bankroll.

[vinnysantos]

Good info EP

[csknight3]

So is mueller playing this game? If so I'm on Germany hard. I really feel like their confidence and leadership were lacking today due to missing him. Not saying they would have won. Spain is a great team and to be honest I wanted Spain to win haha, but Germany didn't show up today. I wouldn't say they are overrated just didn't bring it today.

[TWEETS]

I like Germany and the over

[iceminers26]

leaning over 3,3.5 +150

[beefcake]

You beat me to the punch Ep on that over and you are spot on!!If you back even further than 1974 the avg amount of goals is still high.
8 in a row baby!

[beefcake]

Sorry 3.81 overall since 1930

[EaglesPhan36]

Also might be an opportunity to cash some player props for goal scoring. Especially would suggest playing Forlan and Suarez if they are both in the lineup [should be] as taking a unit on each would guarantee a profit if one of them scores and that has been the case in the majority of Uruguay's matches:

Forlan +188
Suarez +252

Muller +233
Podolski +233

Those are all pretty juicy.

[vboyt]

cool gonna take a look

[Kemalettin]

Germany looks $$$

[aceking]

both games are going under .

1-0 to Spain and Germany .

[ufuque]

Germany to win

[DarkNite]

This game will be the race to golden boot, I think that it will be open game for many goals for both sides and one player of these two very teams will get golden boot, Klose got it last WC and Germany was @ third.
I have placed my bet on the over and small on Uruguay, I know I like Germany but the juice is @1.66 same as over.
I like to bet on the total of goals: Odd or Even @ 1.85 each. I think it will be odd.
Opinion?

Nice, probably 2-1 or 3-0, even is just 2-0 and 2-2 which is possible... 1-1 aint gonna happen :P

[Sunde91]

Over 2.5 seems like an epic lock to me, solid price too.

[nbt3428]

[StraitShooter]

EaglesPhan36

[pouroupoupou]

Over 2.5 goals and Kloze to score more than two

Playing Uruguay and the over.

[ANGRYBLACK]

They both know how to score and aren't great defenders. over 2.5...
