Here's what I played today
Norway +1.75 -111 2* - Think this will be a close game line has not moved and people will over react to Germany 10-0 win
China Draw +229 1* - China needs at least a point here - they played great defense vs canada hope that continues
China U2.5 -160 1* - See above
Thailand O3 -116 2* The ivory coast had some chance vs Germany - hope this is an open free flowing game
GL guys
RenoChazz will be pleased, Norway +1.5.
Very similar to where I now find myself on the Thursday matchups. Norwegian girls have historically played Germany
VERY tough, both teams are tied with 3 points atop their group that is rounded out by Thailand and Ivory Coast so both GER and NOR will advance to the next round easily. Turns out Norway, history shows, is decidedly less intimidated by Germany than nearly all the rest of the field. No way IMO to look at this one and arrive with confidence at any other play than on the Norweigan Girls...they could even win this certainly a DRAW here is totally forseeable.
CHINA is in a very very desperate spot, they lose here and they are pretty much done. Zero wins in their last 11 games 6 losses in their last 8 with the most recent being that CANADA game you mention where they lost with just 2 minutes left in a 0-0 draw when Canada was gifted with what is now universally recognized as yet another horrifically shitty call by the referrees in this tourney. These poor Chinese Girls must be as mad and frustrated as the MEXICO Girls...if thats possible.....both squads having a game literally taken from them by a horrific ref call with very little time left in each match.
UN in this CH-NED game was what I'd pretty much arrived at, totally see where you're comin from on CHINA Defense. They hold Canada its only sensible to 'spect they can hold The Netherlands but I worry about their
mindset with the very poor run they are on 0 Wins L11 6L L8 combined with the terribly Aggravating and Unfair finish vs. Canada.
Like GER & NOR, The Netherlands are tied at 3 points atop their group with Canada and a win here absolutely assures them passage through to the next round so while a DRAW would be far from disastrous for them the W would be so much better and I fear CH is gonna play tight, scared, desperate and make at least one mistake that gives NED a goal. I just hope if I'm right it don't come early cuz they go down 1-0 early and China could implode, totally lose confidence Netherlands GAIN that and NED could really go OFF on an absolutely demoralized Chinese Girls Squad.
So I'll hope you're proven right on that Chinese Defense and they bring the same competence/effort/result they did vs. Canada and we see a 1-1 or even 0-0 finish for the sake of your draw (
which I'll use in a parlay so as to at least be partially aboard) but I see a 1-0 NED finish here, possibly 2-0.
Thailand O3 -116 2* The ivory coast had some chance vs Germany - hope this is an open free flowing game GL guys
And both teams certainly demonstrated the ability to surrender goals. Ivory Coast could very well have put up 2 vs. Germany, like Spain they squandered some great chances. Simple common sense dictates that we could very well see a shootout in this one. I think you've come in with a very good card p. :toast: enjoy your day off.
