Got Czechs at 2.02 (evens) to win today.

Koller looks screwed so I'd be willing to leave them out of any talk for the whole thing

I still cant see past a Brazil/Argentina final.

**eirebhoy** · 12/06/2006, 5:58 PM

I'd recommend a small bet on De Rossi getting man of the match at 20/1 with Paddy Power!

Will Hill cut my 33-1 to 22-1 after this win, Ladbrokes have them as
short as 16-1, which I think is still good value, even with injuries, they
are not a one man team. I backed them each way so I will get a payout
if they make the final. A slight problem is that need to avoid Brazil
in their first knock-out stage match, however if they win the group, which
they have every chance of doing, they should avoid them.

Wouldn't be rushing to throw money at Czech Republic....that was a very average USA team at best....lost their record goalscorer and Baros is not 100% either. Will rate them after the game against Italy.
Argentina's performance best so far and Ivory Coast at 7-2 to qualify from group is value.

**The Stars** · 12/06/2006, 9:12 PM

delighted Koller is out injured,he was a threat for the top scorer but will miss a few games now.

I doubt very much we'll see him again, Toni would have been a real threat if that rocket went in

Italy did well tonight but looked a little careless. Really looking forward to seeing France and Brazil tomorrow, that'll be all the better teams having played one game and make a better judgement. I do not rate Spain as a better team.

Well you don't need to thow much money at them at 33-1, I couldn't
miss a chance to back a team world ranked ranked #2 at that price.
There is more to a team than the strikers and I don't think they will
have a problem scoring goals. They would have hammered England who are
about 6-1.

Anyone know the odds on Brasil going out in second round ?

I think that both Italy and the Czechs are capable of beating them.
If they draw with each other and the czechs win on gd the Italians would not be afraid of Brasil. They are never afraid of anyone.

Its worth a sneaky fiver.

Seriously.

Given as 7/2 here:-

You might want to see how they get on in the group stages first though.
Incidently Mexico tend to do well against Brazil recently, won 3, lost 1, dawn 1.

**stojkovic** · 12/06/2006, 10:46 PM

5/2 to win it and only 7/2 to go out in 2nd round.
the miserable b@stards.

**The Stars** · 13/06/2006, 9:18 AM

Brazil Half time full time at 10-11 is a good bet today.
also.Swiss to hold France to a draw at 9-4 is worth something.

**davehey** · 13/06/2006, 9:41 AM

South Korea at evens is a decent bet for today i reckon

Excellent bet mate. Togo have lost 7 of their last 9 games including all 3 in the African Nations. They're in disarray over a pay dispute and I'd fancy Korea to take all 3 points.

Michael Owen will be hard at it now, especially with his gambling habit....or perhaps Rooney could clear off his debts with this one

I was just going to post the same thing! The Czechs (Koller's injury not as bad as they thought) and Italy were so impressive that I thought you'd get decent odds. 7-2 is ridiculously tight. It might lengthen if they impress against Croatia.

By the sounds of it all they have to do is announce a pregnancy.
Collen is also at 4-1 to be pictured in the tabloids wearing official english jersey not at english game. easy money for wayne. just put her in jersey and tell her to go on the pi$$ with her friends. Bound to make the papers.

**davehey** · 13/06/2006, 2:57 PM

thank you s.korea handy €100

**tricky_colour** · 13/06/2006, 4:27 PM

Had a little bet on the Swiss V France at 5-1
Seems value, you could hardly split the teams in qualifying.
Mind you, there were a pile of draws in that group.

**Gaillimh Al** · 13/06/2006, 9:35 PM

My luck is definetly not in so maybe forget everythin i may have said before. I have done 3 5 euro 1st scorer/correct score doubles in the last 3 days.

Pauleta + Portugal to win 2-0
Pirlo + Italy to win 1-0
Kaka + Brazil to win 2-0

What are the chances?
