Yes the Swiss France draw was a dead cert (with hindsight), I should have
got on that but I got tempted by the big price for a Swiss win.
I always go for a big price so I don't have to put much on so I never lose
much, but then again I hardly ever win either

anyone listen to my advice?

Korea were a rollercoster ride today...only a small bet on them but got my moneys worth.
Need Spain tomorrow for an accumalator.
Tunisia,Spain and Germany all to win tomorrow is a good bet.....

Tunisia Spain and Germany comes in at 4-1,worth at least €5.

I was going to back Togo, T&T and Saudi Arabia all to get no points before the tournament started but the match I was least confident in was Tunisia to beat the Saudi's. Saudi Arabia won their qualifying group which included South Korea and I can see them getting a draw today. In saying that, I do hope Tunisia get the win.

it hard to know what to expect from tunisia,was gonna back them in a treble today but having doubts now.
Come on Spain today to make me some money!!!
Might back a draw just to cover myself.

**The Stars** · 14/06/2006, 10:41 AM

Klose to score anytime against Poland today is worth something,can get him at about even money.

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

Off topic I know but just to answer- Holland beat us 2-0 in 90 mins afaik,2nd goal went straight through Packie Bonners hands.

Decided against going for Villa at 44/1 to be top scorer because I didn't think he would get enough playing time

**The Stars** · 14/06/2006, 3:25 PM

good day in the betting in running today....
wild rover made a good bit,but il let him tell ye about that.
Spain finished off my accumulator nicely.
backed the 3 homes today,1 down 2 to go.
Spain are gone into 9-1 to win it now...got them at 14-1

I can't believe they've overtaken Italy. Shevchenko was clean through after 10 minutes and no doubt would have scored but it was strangely disallowed for offside. The ref sends a Ukraine player off after half time and gives Spain a peno for absolutely nothing. I wouldn't get carried away with this result.

Im not getting carried away with the result but Spain look like one of the best teams in it.They have one of the best squads when you consider who they have on the bench.
Italy are not a great side in my opinion.Good defence and Forwards but they dont convince me in midfield.Pirlo did well in the last game but I think he is past his best.

Past his best at 26?

Every single Italian player is in his prime bar Gilardino. Gattuso and Cameronesi can still come into midfield. They've been top class the past year easily beating us, Holland and Germany with excellent attacking football. When talking of Italy's midfield you have to include Totti and imo there's nobody in world football better than him at setting up goals. You also didn't see anywhere near the best of De Rossi on Monday. The best is yet to come.

I'm not saying Spain have no chance, of course they do but the odds drop based on today's game is a bit mad. Spain have been playing like that the past couple of years.

**The Stars** · 14/06/2006, 9:12 PM

i think he will not play as well as he did a few years ago when he first went to Milan.Think Gattuso and Cameronesi are over rated,but Totti is still top class.
We will have to see how they do anyway,but think Italy wont go too far.

Ronaldhino may have the slight edge on Totti for setting up goals. Heavy sarcasm added

I think Ronaldinho is by far and away the best player in the world as he has more of an influence on matces than just scoring and setting up goals. He controls games. Totti though is the king of setting up goals. He played 24 Serie games for Roma last season (got injured in February). He scored 15 goals and set up 11 more. Consider that Roma spent almost the entire season without their 2 strikers, Montella and Nonda, it is amazing how he even managed to set up so many. With those strikers in the team he wouldn't be scoring as many but he'd be getting a lot more assists.

Anyway, this is the betting forum.

had eduador to score the third goal at 4-5 in betting in running...its an easy way to make money.

**tricky_colour** · 15/06/2006, 4:23 PM

10p on T&T at 14-1

I'm after getting them at 26-1 at half time.
Worth a shot the way the english are playing.

**cullenswood** · 15/06/2006, 6:05 PM

A lot of easy bets came in for me today. �25 at evens for Ecuador to score next at half time, �10 for them to win 3-0 at 3/1 after the second goal, �50 at 3/10 for England to score next at half time, and �50 for England to win at 1/2 after Crouch had scored!
