The Prophet

Another free bet courtesy of Neymar.

If anything it looks to be the opposite.

Had a pre-tournament bet of Mexico to qualify so might lately it and stick some cash on Croatia.

Dem tities

He was s*** tbf Funny when you play centre backs at left back like.

Also, Spahic is getting an unnecessary amount of hate of Martin and Phil.

The first time the officials have genuinely cost someone too.

Bosnia have flattered to deceive hugely here.

So disappointed by Bosnia.

Comfortably my worse day to date, swings and roundabouts.

It's not all negative, I thought there was a few positives to build on.

If France win I'll essentially lose all my winnings from yesterday. Awful day on the cards.

Not a great start...

You can't blame the midfield for Jagielka ball watching on two occasions. The fact is there are three out of the back 4 who aren't good enough. ...but you can the midfield for the amount if exposure Jagielka suffered per game. When you're defence isn't good enough you need a midfield that will A) keep the ball and/or B) shield the back four. Ours was set up to do neither. Or he could just select defenders that are good enough. This isn't club football where you're restricted by budget, some more than others, where you may need to shield certain players. This is the World Cup and we have decent defenders who aren't even there. Steven Gerrard isn't a shielding type midfielder nor will he ever be, he's a playmaker whose legs aren't what they were. Jordan Henderson is a box to box bog standard midfielder who has had a good season despite previously looking average at best. Who are these quality centre backs you speak of? It's not shielding certain players either. It's just logical to select a midfield capable of keeping the ball in order to give the defence some respite.

Defensively, we've looked vulnerable in both games. The midfield have played a major part in that.

Given one of Welbeck's best attributes is that he's a tireless worker we'd no doubt have the poor bugger playing anywhere but up front.

They did take Jones. You'd of though given the lack of defensive midfielder he'd have been given a run out.

Italy Germany Bosnia I need to stop now.

Been saying for months Gerrard-Henderson would leave the side vulnerableas a defensive unit, see Liverpool minus Lucas. As overrated as I think it is it might have been worth taking Jones to add a bit of insurance in the middle.

Italy Switzerland +1 As well as the above. Italy are my back up.so if they don't win I'm f***ed. I'm definitely betting on Switzerland's value, although I do believe they are more than capable of causing an upset.

Italy Switzerland DNB
