england screwed us royally :hump:

MarkieMark+ · Jul 20, 2005

England outplayed Armenia by a HUGE margin but could not score. England missed a penalty in the 2nd Half but then scored a little later.

Armenia equalised in the 90th minute! That hurts.

"FINLAND VEIKKAUSLIIGA
INTER TURKU (pk) +100 over Mypa (200/200) Pinnacle"

There are rumours again that two important Inter players are missing. Same players which were mentioned in last rumour also, Serge N'Gal and Pertot. Both played anyway. Those who would like to wait until squads are released check this link:

Squad info should be released 45 min or 1 hour before gametime.

MarkieMark+ · Jul 21, 2005

Thanks, Faceless. I have read that Inter will be missing Botha and N'Gal, but more importantly, MyPa will be missing defenders Timoska and Miranada along with forwards Makela and Pahakainen. Inter's tough defence at home along with the absence of a good striking partner for Adriano leads me to believe that MyPa might have trouble scoring today.

More for Thursday....

SWEDEN ALLSVENSKAN
Hacken vs. Malmo; DRAW +230 (130/300) Olympic
Malmo is the better team here but they cannot afford to lose this match due to the danger of losing sight of Djurgarden at the top of the table. With the absence of their best striker, Alves, look for Malmo to play a defensive style and grind this game down to a virtual stand still. With this being said, I will also play the following:

Hacken vs. Malmo; UNDER (2.5) -120 (240/200) Bet365

Good Luck
MM

MarkieMark+ · Jul 21, 2005

...and, in order to stay consistent with this line of thinking, I will also put a little on:

Hacken vs. Malmo; CORRECT SCORE (0-0) +800 (62/500) Bet365

Good Luck

Inter Turku goes up 1-0 in the 3rd minute at home and then craps out... what an embarassing performance...

MarkieMark+ · Jul 21, 2005

WELL, so much for MyPa having trouble scoring. Inter Turku 1 - 4 MyPa.

MM

MarkieMark+ · Jul 21, 2005

HOWEVER, hit a nice dog WINNER with PK-35 HELSINKI at +155.

AFLGuru · Jul 21, 2005

Came close to the 0-0 final... still a decent day nonetheless once again... alright, so you won less than $10... better than the alternative to not winning...

MarkieMark+ · Jul 21, 2005

My 0-0 DRAW went right up until the 84th minute - SHIT!!

AFLGuru · Jul 21, 2005

Leaving the Gold Cup alone tonight Mark? I'm not gonna resist betting against the Panamanian team once again... 1-0 Colombia hopefully.

Hustler982 · Jul 21, 2005

yea .. i was looking forward to that payout Mark!! SO close too!

TODAY'S PICKS

SWITZERLAND SUPER LEAGUE
Thun vs. Basel, OVER (3.0) -115 (230/200) Olympic

IRELAND EIRCOM PREMIER LEAGUE

SHELBOURNE -110 over Bray Wanderers (220/200) William Hill
Winning is contageous and even though this is Shelbourne's 2nd game in just a little over 48 hrs., I expect they will continue their winning ways against a struggling Bray team that is just 1-1-3 in their last 5 games.

BOHEMIANS +100 over Drogheda United (200/200) William Hill
Bohemians have only lost once in their last 10 league matches. Drogheda have slipped in form and are in tough today against a team that has outscored them 11-3 in their last 5 head-to-head meetings.

ST. PATRICK -110 over Waterford (220/200) Bet365
Both teams have been playing poorly but Waterford have a mountain of troubles off the pitch as well and they are proving to be a big distraction. St. Patrick should get back on track today with a win at home.

AFLGuru · Jul 22, 2005

Bank 'em Mark...

Is over 2.75 better at Pinnacle -150?

MarkieMark+ · Jul 22, 2005

They still have to score at least 3 goals for a win at Pinnacle so I took the line with less juice and will settle for the push if the total ends up at 3. I expect a final score of something like 3-2 for Basel.
