Glad to see you on the +0.5 MA, I'm also on the same. I believe there's a lot of value in that line.

I was also looking at the Under - but I'm really unsure as to how both teams are gonna approach the game. They've both been playing organized functional football, but the one time when Uruguay went for the attacking style with Recoba on the field, they played really well. Will they take that risk? Or is it going to be a boring defensive game?

Uruguay team total over 0.5 and 1 is also tempting, but I'll pass.

Under 3.5 is too expensive....

Good luck Tapa.

What did you think of the officiating yesterday?
First time I see a Brazil team on penalty kicks that does not make one attempt to shoot high, corner side. Yet, as much as they sucked on that department, they are proceeding to the next round.....



Adding the following:
Spain vs Brazil
Spain pk +101 (3.5 units)

Japan vs Czech Republick
Czech Republic pk and +0.5 -131 (6 units)

3-0 Arg. as we speak. Looks like it could end 5-nil...enjoy.

By the way,

That USA goal to make it 1-1 was brimming with the best technical skills that a USAU20 predatorial forward has been able to display so far. I know it may have looked like it touched his hand/forearm, as the Uruguay defender was not able to properly time his clearance away, but such a deflection was accidental. Oh well! It does not matter, as the better team is moving on...I guess!

Officiating for me has been terrible so far, did you see the last pk that Doni "saved" he moved forward like 3 or 4 steps before the kick, that definitely was unfair to uruguay and they would have to repeat that, but what the hell.

I was looking forward to Uruguay- Argentina final; cause both of them have won FOURTEEN cups each but i ll enjoy watching Argentina beating the hell out of them, im pretty sure Argentina will win in 90 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!

Match results have been very surprising.

Uruguay almost had it and let it slip away.
Braz and Japan both leading 2-0 let it also slip away.

It seems anything can happen, hence taking +1.5 with physical defensive minded team like Poland is worth a shot. Talent wise,
Argentina superior. However, Poland's squad is physically superior,and could help them in the box and corner situations.
If you like lots of fouls, you may want to watch this game.

Good luck

Good luck with the Spain pick, MA... I was close to playing it but backed off as I've already played a few today.

USA winning 1-0 at the moment, hopefully it'll be the same at full time!

correct in your analysis, as Austria took it to extra time. Cannot comment more than that as I was not able to see the match.

Good luck to you.

UNDER 20 WORLD CUP YTD: 13W - 15L - 5T (-11.44 units)

Czech Republic: The team I was hoping to see early in the tournament (while I was chasing it), finally showed up against Spain...

CHILE vs NIGERIA
Nigeria pk +113 (8 units)
Chile over 2 and 2.5 -109 (4.5 units)

Chile will miss Vidal. Nonethelss, IMO, they have shown that they are a defensive team team first, whose transition game has been exceptional. Will take nothing away from the Chilean strikers, but it has been the defensive and midfield core that has held opponents scoreless (made the Portuguese look downright ordinary). With respect to tactical execution and discipline they are superior to Nigeria. However, if you want to consider speed at the flanks, and overall size, this african nation is incredibly gifted. I do not believe Chile will be able to keep the tempo down to slow the Nigerians, who play at one incredible gear for 90 minutes. I believe they can score in this match, but more importantly, think they can score the first goal. When that happens, Chile will find themselves forced into unchartered territory, having to come from behind. What could start as a defensive struggle, could very well swing the offensive way. Watch for play to unfold (offensively) in the box, as the Nigerians could surprise with set pieces.


Argentina vs Mexico
Will wait and see how Nigeria / Chile unfolds....


COPA AMERICA YTD: 14W - 13L - 5T (+7.61 units)

Argentina vs Brazil

Was not able to watch Uruguay vs Mexico, thus I am unable to comment on it. Red card given to Uruguay is part of football, and may very well have contributed to the 3-1 result. Who the hell knows!!

Argentina -0.5 -112 (5.5 units)

May add on the total later on...

Good luck,

MA

I am banging the under in the final match. I think goals will be hard to come by. There is steam on the over though.

ACE...

ML and -.5 are exactly the same thing. You don't get your money back with a draw.
