Awesome venue.....I've never seen such a great set up and its just like the Olympics, except better. I'm officially hooked on a sport I swore I would never like.....BIG DIFFERENCE in watching good Soccer vs bad Soccer.

I started extremely hot in this Tournament and had a losing last week. This next Round I cannot wait for.....Lets do this....Here is what I have already played:

-Chile to Score vs Brasil -170 for 2 Units
-Costa Rica to advance -135 for 2.5 Units vs Greece
-France -1 Regulation time only vs Nigeria for 3 Units
-Colombia to advance -220 vs Uruguay for 2 Units
-Belgium -1/2 -130 Regulation time only for 2.5 Units
-Mexico +220 for the game vs Netherlands for 1.5 Units to win 3.3 Units

Thought on the games played: I am going to go by the rule of not overthinking this Cup and playing the teams that are playing well. In my opinion France is the team to beat. They look very fast and polished. USA moves the ball really well, they just don't have that go to guy to create more socring opportunities, and I think Belgium plays very well as a team and can score....does not bode well for USA. People keep doubting Costa Rica but they are are playing well and playing good Defense as well.....I'll take that over Greece. I'm not sold on the Netherlands and Mexico has been one of the best Defensive teams thus far so I will take the upset there. Uruguay without Suarez, I'm not sure is even average, and we all know the money will be on Colombia but I cannot take Uruguay without Suarez and won't over think the play. Chile is another team playing well and if Cameroon can score a goal on Brasil, surely Chile can.....I think if they play the same as they have been they have a chance to win.

Roll Thoughts.......gl

I think France is a good team but IMO, the most polished team is Germany......with that said, with a little luck, I think Colombia can win it all (wishful thinking)

I think France will draw in regulation with Nigeria & I also think France is a bit over rated.

The most over rated team IMO is Belgium & they are the weakest 3-0 team that played in the weakest group.

USA played in the toughest group IMO & has been battle tested in the group stage & should win 2-1 since Belgium doesn't show up until the 2nd half & will be too late. USA has a really good goalie as well. IMO, Germany could have beaten USA 3-0 if they wanted & I don't see the USA team getting more after this win.

Germany is one heck of a team & is the only team that scares my futures play on Colombia.

The Brazil vs Chile should go to Brazil, although I see exactly why you are playing will Chile score a goal. Brazil just likes to outscore their opponents instead of playing great defense.

I bet Brazil but Chile should make it interesting.......possible a 3-2 final. Over anyone?

As for betting the world cup ......im in the same boat, i could care less about watching any soccer here in the states or anywhere else but when the world cupcomes around every 4 years, I follow it like i do the NFL, i absolutely love it!

I vote to have the world cup every 2 years instead of the long waitof 4.......

Always loved your NASCAR plays.. Don't know how you do it, but you usually seem to get it done.

Don't you usually play 2 or 2.5 units on these matchups? Isn't this a pretty good big play for you?

Haven't played NASCAR in a while, but if you really like this one, I'm on board. GL!

This is a big play for me. I'm going to enjoy the race. The Practice and qualifying runs are equal on these two cars and the Odds are not. And Kasey has proven in the past that he can Race Kentucky......so we roll with this......gl.

If Mexico can win in Regulation I will win 4.95 Units. If in OT I can only win .15 Units if Mexico wins.......with one Yellow Card player already out and potentially another plyer out with that last injury, I am going to add....

Netherlands +190 2nd Half for 1.5 to win 2.85 Units.

I know I'm forcing my 1st loss but I have bad vibes on all of the blown opportunities for Mexico

I guess only worst case scenario would be if Netherlands wins on penalty kicks right?
