The Swiss to get to the semi-finals - 150/1 or so. The last few World Cups an outsider has reached the semis. Probably worth a fiver. Playing well in the friendlies.
Van Nistelrooy 18-1 is value for top goalscorer.
Ibrahimovic an outsider at 50s.
Ronaldinho 9-2 to be top La Liga scorer with Paddy Power.
think Crouch is the most over rated striker in the world.
Pauleta and Klose are worth money for top scorers when you consider the groups they are in.
Gaillimh Al- could be a good call with the swiss,might back that myself.
If Switzerland were 150/1 to reach the semi's I'd be advising every person I know to be putting money on that. :)Quote:

The Swiss would need to win their group ahead of France. Otherwise, they would probably face Spain and Brazil on the way to the semis. I don't see the Swiss going past the second round.
I've put a tenner on an Argentina/England final at 28/1 and €10 on Owen to be top scorer at 19/1.
you're all throwing away your money with these stupid "to win" "to be top scorer" bets. too much juice. bet only at pinnacle and betfair on in running matches, save your money.
Have to agree with you about the Czech Republic, ranked 2nd in the world and 33-1, that seems an insane price. I don't know about their injury worriesQuote:

I will have to look into that more, there might be a very good value bet there.
What about Mexico, ranked 4th at 40-1?
rankings means nothing....USA are ranked 6th,doesnt mean they are worth a bet to win it.
BTW,good price tomorrow at 3-1....worht a few bob.
Klose and Pualeta are both off the mark for me in the top goalscorer bet.
You have almost contradicted yourself in the same sentence there!!Quote:

There maybe some misalignment because the USA for example, rarely
play European opposition, similar for Mexico.
But get this for a fact, the last team to beat Brazil was Mexico.
Infact there recent record against Brazil is won 3, drawn 1, lost one.
Now that ain't to bad is it? Mexico, to me are very good value at 40-1
I seem to remember Mexico knocking Ireland out of the Cup in 1994 too :mad:
So I think I will have a little flutter on them at 40-1, just 50p EW though
same as I did for the Czechs at 33-1, it's all winning from my
poker account anyway :cool:
Warning!! Poker is not a game for novices, or even people who think they
know how to play (I used to think that and I lost a packet, then I found out
why and won it back :) ).You will only win against bad players, and chances
are you will be the only bad player at the table!!!
Top goal scorer betting is a bit too much for me as I don't have enoughQuote:

Almost contradicted myself tricky,but not quite.
It's funny how I can remember the Mexico game as clear as a bell but IQuote:

Did it go to penalties.
Maybe Mexico were the only team to beat us over 90 mins?
