June 16, 201411 yr I'm doing really well on betting but don't do large amounts, had £35 worth of bets on before-hand on stuff that is more tournament-long (group betting, winner, golden boot, golden ball), but stuck a fiver in an account last Friday just to see how much I could turn it into. £21.49 is my balance so far, can go up to over £35 if Nigeria and Ghana both win, but will be happy with one of those, 2/3 success rate for one day on teams at or above evens would be good. Loved that game, always good to see Portugal and Ronaldo get thumped and Pepe behave like Pepe.
June 16, 201411 yr Had Ronaldo anytime to score. Useless bugger! The stick Messi gets for his international / World Cup record, yet Ronaldo's pretty much the same. Admittedly the current Portuguese team, is far less talented than the Argies.
June 16, 201411 yr Portugal looked like they had a chance at 0-0 by getting up close to Lahm, who seemed to be having an off day at that point. Will be interesting to see how he deals with Dempsey.
June 16, 201411 yr Can safely say I watch a lot of League 2 football, and I think most teams could give both Iran and Nigeria a good game. Nigeria are absolutely dire.
June 16, 201411 yr Utterly abysmal from Nigeria, how on earth did they win ACN last year?! The only people in the world who enjoyed that match are Bosnian.
June 16, 201411 yr That match was indeed dire. If Argentina don't get through the group then there has to be an enquiry into potential corruption.
June 16, 201411 yr Very disappointed game. I bet on Nigeria and I lost my money..I thought that it would be an easy game for them because Iran is not famous for their football..I felt that I watched two amateur teams. I believe that Portugal will get through to the next round.. Edited June 17, 201411 yr by Insomnio
June 16, 201411 yr Anyone seen the FIFA MoM betting? The internet/Twitter is rigging it, it's hilarious, the bookies are going to get pasted!
June 16, 201411 yr USA scoring in 30 seconds against Ghana was the most instantly deflating thing I've seen in a long time. Ghana luckily equalising after another 80 minutes. Gwon Ghana. EDIT: Well that jinxed it <_<
June 16, 201411 yr Ghana are like my favourite of my many second teams. Which made that match utterly painful to watch. Especially with them pressing all the time, never getting through, then finally getting something, but only for a couple of minutes before it went the other way again.
June 17, 201411 yr I expected better from Nigeria. In the Confederations Cup last year they had their best game against Spain, so they'll be optimistic about giving Argentina a scare although I can't see Sabella making the same mistake with 3-5-2 again.
June 17, 201411 yr Nigeria will get canned by Argentina. They were awful, they were like a pub team. Just sloppy, poor touches, no quality. All lined up for a 5-0 thrashing. USA are well drilled. That is the team Hodgson wishes he had at Euro 2012. Them scoring so early meant they could just soak up pressure. Ghana were terrible until Boateng came on. Just so much bad decision making throughout the match from them. Lost a ton of money today. Luckily I had three good days!
June 17, 201411 yr It's frustrating watching Nigeria most of the time, you never know what you're gonna get. One day you could get performances like last year's Africa Cup Of Nations and another day you get performances that are w**k like tonight. They are like Africa's England :(
June 17, 201411 yr So not only are Belgium messing my bets up, they're also completely dire. Too many Tottenham players in their starting XI. No creativity, no patience. Chadli stinking the game out.
June 17, 201411 yr So you bring on someone who has been pretty poor all season (apart from when he's been injured) and what does he do? Naturally he scores :lol:
