I want to back Chile, but I will sure get burned.

It's a bit pathetic by Puma, really, as they pay us to wear their shirts you'd imagine they'd make a serious effort to make something rememberable.

Did you not watch the first 80 mins? Brazil were the worst cheaters I've seen so far. Handball for the goal, rolling around after every challenge etc. Six and one half a dozen of the other, to be honest. For every Brazil player that rolled around, there was a tackle like the one on Elano, which should have been a straight red itself. The goal was obviously a double-handball, but it wasn't exactly a "cheating" handball in the Maradonna sense, it just happened to hit his arm when he was tussling with the defender. Pretty much what I was going to reply.

Now you're definitely on the wind up I think the chain of events was as follows: Wrong > Entrenched in wrong position > So entrenched in wrong position, but too late to back out > Covering up with "it was a WUM" all along. It's a classic.

The fuck?! Winning WC bets?! What is this I don't even...

Brazil should have hammered those Ivory Cunts into bloody pummels after that horrendous cheating display they showed at the end. Fucking hell. That's up there amongst the worst shit cheating I've seen in my life. It boils my piss to see blatant cheating like that at the WC. Kaka did nothing wrong in that situation, whatsoever.

Fucking hell that was one of the worst dives I've seen in my life. Get pushed in the chest, hold your fucking face. Yeah, right. Ivory Cunts.

You should've just gone with £3 on the scoreline, Neil.

Kaka just looks like a typical Brazilian footballer though, he looks lazy but can still do shit with ease. Not near finished. Not as good as he once was, sure, but finished?

Real Madrid What the hell has Real Madrid done to Kaka? Fuck that Mike, look at this shit: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1984/b663fabd9fe7.gif

Exactly what I said - There is no reason why England can't go on to do well this tournament! Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. For starters.

Not even close to the Donovan goal. This is true, Landon's was at a much harder angle. Both were fantastic, though.

Hoping Mexico and Uruguay pull that one off. Bookies have learnt their lesson, odds are shit low on a draw.

Fuck it. £25 on Brazil £10 on Brazil -1

Village Idiot has the only suggestion that would make any sense so far, would definitely back that.

Oh, wow. That is so new to this thread.

f***, nearly 3am there, right? Aye, I think I was more pissed off than most after the England 'performance' like. I think I fell asleep rambling like a drunken old man about how 'I can't believe they made me stay up for that shite...' and so on. I wouldn't really stay up for any other team normally, but I haven't seen Brazil at all yet, and well, it's Brazil. If they play like they did against Best Korea you'll be dissapointed.

Yeah, I'm just saying I think Capello's record is a bit deceiving and flattering compared to Sir Bobby's.

"Though, being held that way should make you fall backwards, not forward." Pundits analysing Italy's penalty. Diving cunts.

Bobby's record in his career was nothing compared to Capello's tbf. How dare you slander the good lords name. How about you take your rose tinted geps off? Sir Bobby over eight years and 95 matches had a 49.47 win percentage. Capello over two years and 26 matches have a 69.23 win percentage. You had an absolute dross qualifying group this time around, though, which makes Capello seem more impressive in win % than Sir Bobby.

It does.

Delighted for the Kiwis. Hope they pull though now and knock Italy out.

I like underdogs, so was a shame to see Italy get back into it so early. Will probably get ugly for the Kiwis soon.

the moral of the story being if you can look at a coupon and find confidently predict one winner you can make a profit. And that I've been giving tips in this thread pretty much every week, and have a 77% correct prediction rate. Fuck off. Everyweek there was some sort of "shock result" that shoouldn't have happened. I'm not fucking off, I did the math earlier. There were three shock results fucking over an accum over the course of thirteen rounds, that's hardly every round. One example is Stabæk - Sandefjord that ended 1-1, in Tippeligaen terms those two teams are as far apart on paper as England and Algeria. If that's not an unlikely upset before the match starts, I dunno what is. Viking - Brann in the first round looked an upset, but as the season progressed it shone through that it wasn't as they were different quality, but that was hard to judge before the first round. Rosenborg not winning a match in the Norwegian league is always an upset these days, imagine a Premier League with Chelsea and 19 Wigan's, that's how far apart Rosenborg is quality wise from the rest tbh. You'd naturally back Chelsea to win against Wigan at least 99 times out of 100. I've counted my dnbs and avoid at all costs as hits, though. Also counted the cup rounds. Still, I find it impressive and I'm well, well up. You guys keep not doing my double accs/triple accs and adding/replacing teams, though, I think that's the issue here as I'm winning. Edit: Re-reading I went well OTT defending myself, but I got wound up as I'm really proud of my Norwegian punditry success as it's basically my only betting money maker. Really, I don't go much in plus on anything else.
