    Aussie homers unite!!!

    After living here for 5 years and witnessing the magic of the last world cup when most outside Australia didn't give them a chance in hell of even winning a game, I'd feel like an absolute schmuck if I took Germany and this hit. It's not like Germany's fielding a dream team this time around and now that Verbeek may not be starting Cahill just to screw with Loew's game plan, I think they have a shot to at least draw.

    So stuff it - I'm jumping on the Socceroo choo choo.

    Australia DNB +430 2x

    To me it would be but you should get a 2nd opinion because I'm obviously biased here.

    Wrong. Plenty were on the US. Even the darn comentator pre game said he expected a 1-1 draw. I do agree tho that everyone thinks Germany is the play.

    Not wrong. Check the board. Yes homers and a couple serious cappers had USA +1 or a draw but the majority did not. But after just reading Kara and Turk's thread, I'm starting to feel more confident with my play and will add Australia +1 as back up. Best of luck!!

    Same to you shari. But do you actually read all these damn threads and think these are experts talking here? I rarely follow a pick unless the capper im following is as dedicated to thier craft as you are to tennis. So to me, reading those USA doesnt have a chance threads never made me differ my opinion. Either way shari Itll be a cracker of a game!

    Of course I don't think they're all experts. But I do read every thread involving a game I'm betting on because once in awhile someone I respect will pop in there and provide some helpful insight! If I listened to everything I read I would've dumped a crapload of money on Roddick, Murray or Djoko this week and I'd be broke.

    I really hope this will be a great game. As I said, this is 99.9% a homer bet as much as I can be a homer since I'm not an Aussie, but the more I look into this match I honestly feel like this has a bit of a shot to come in. At least more than most people are giving the Socceroos credit for. But I'm taking the +1 as well as I think that is actually a great bet in this one. I just saw that you've put a lot on the -1 so I honestly wish you the very best of luck that it hits for you!

    Best of Luck Shari! Should be a cracking game, I was at the Argentina game yesterday and there were loads of Aussie fans. I even met Aussie cricket Legend Steve Waugh who was a few seats in front of me

    Not sure what to make of this German side, they do have world cup pedigree but Klose is not in the best goal scoring form and Ballack loss is a big one

    Gutsy play shari, but at +430 great value.
    I'll be staying up to watch the game, don't think I'll bet on it though.

    I took LA ML and +3 yesterday but not for big, partly because I've had a great week and don't want to blow a chunk of my profit and also because a few people are making great cases for the Celtics in this one.

    I'm so excited for this match!! Obviously. Just tried to take a nap with my son so I don't fade out completely but I'm too amped to sleep. Now I've thrown on the DVD of the Australia/Uruguay match and keep replaying Aloisi's goal.

    Saffa - so jealous about your meeting Steve Waugh and even more so that you get to be there at some of the matches!

    Yeah, I tried to take a nap for last night's schedule but just couldn't.
    Our timezone has been unlucky two world cups in a row now as far as world cup schedules are concerned.

    We have to enjoy every minute of this world cup as we are basically fielding the exact same team [minus viduka] from Germany 2006. 2014 will be hugely different.

    Soccer still has a long way to go in Australia. Our kids are playing AFL, NRL, union and cricket ahead of soccer. So much for developing talent

    They need to start with putting the A-league and qualifiers on free to air tv, especially if they are looking to develop soccer as a sport and appeal to the masses

    Yep, also need to develop some kind of FA Cup like competition that gives non a-league aus clubs a chance to compete in the same comp.

    I'm with on this Shari, too much value to pass up, and I'm taking +1 as well.

    We have a group of about 15 of us heading to an Aussie club in the Dominican Republic to watch the game, flags and tattoos and all. C'mon Aussie!!!
