USA through on goals scored in that instance. Yes, and if that's even than it would come to the fair-play stats. Wasn't it that after that the FIFA world rank will decide?

... could be time for a sneaky Italy bet...? Odds still not good enough. Checked it, of course.

Italy. Glad I've stoped with betting.

Only those who haven't bet on the World Cup matches I think. I'm 250 € down - which is way over what I've had as limit. Have stoped now, will maybe, just maybe get into it again as soon as the next round comes around. Just wait for Tippeligaen, man. Just 14 days left until the money starts rolling in again on a weekly basis. Aye, hope so. I might have to bet on everything you suggest as "safe" to get my money back.

Btw Geremi's starting tonight (He's nailed on to score now)

German - England - Klinsmann is a perfect manager when it comes to managing a team at a world cup/euro. The only thing he needs is a assistant manager who is really good at tactics. That's what happend at the WC 06 with Germany. Klinsmann was the motivator and Löw the man for the tactics. Klinsmann failed badly at Bayern on the other hand - that's why I would say he only can do it at a national team.

Only if the arm does a not naturall movement towards the ball. Which I just can't see. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Australian supporter or anything - I just think that this decision was wrong. And for Australia it's really hard because of the red card for Cahill which was also quite harsh.

He had his arm on his body. Where should his arm had gone there? Also don't think it was a proper handball, he got punished because his lower arm was pointing away from his body, but his upper arm was right next to the body and he didn't look like actively searching the ball with his "hand", just his shoulder. Exactly.

Erm, who the fuck else is going to send the players off other than the referee? Of course it's the ref man. But those are wrong decisions.

I really feel sorry for Australia. 2006 it was the referee against Italy. Last match against Germany it was the referee who sent Cahill off. And now it is the referee again who sents Kewell off.

Great friendly. Any news on that friendly we wanted to do in Germany?

Redknapp for me. Not sure I could hack that. Probably it'll be Jürgen Klinsmann in the end. I think England would need Mourinho to win the World Cup. Well, or Hughton.

Ghana - Australia next. I guess Australia will win this 1-0. Then this group is really really open. Every team with 3 points and a chance to reach the next round. Probably I'll be right now as I've given up on betting now.

Glad I've given Sneijder the captaincy today. 20 points as things stand.

You still haven't decided on the World Cup winner?

tbf the times my reccomended accs have failed it's been because of what can be classed as freak results. I'm really pleased with a 77% success rate. I will improve when it kicks off again after the WC, though. Was only joking anyway. Would be happy if over 50 % of my predictions were right.

Which is still 23 % too short.

Isn't it called Slovenia?

The problem will be, though, that if England goes out early, he'll probably score a hattrick against us to show everyone he's back.

I managed to win back the £110 I was down, only to lose it all again in two days. :lol £0 -> £120 up -> £110 down -> £10 -> £110 down I guess the bookies are really looking forward to the World Cup's and Euro's every two years. Have to say that this was my first world cup in which I really was into (online)betting. It'll be probably the last one. Looking already forward again to those weekends of Bundesliga, La Liga, Seria A, Norway league (or whatever it's called), CCC and of course Premier League. Yeah, at least the results are almost always consistent in those leagues, with just an odd upset here and there not screwing you over completely if it happens. And it's called Tippeligaen, but I understand that's hard to bother about remembering for any non-Norwegians. Well, yes. Actually I only care about the money when it comes to this league.

Both at once

Aye, and Heskey just a poor Ameobi. And as we are already at it - Barton, Guthrie and Nolan would have done the same (or a better) job than this midfield today.
