QBG Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Uruguay are certs to top that group imo. What are their odds? 19/5 with William Hill, worth a punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Babatunde, I only saw parts of the first half so I'll ask you: please tell me that attempt at football earlier isn't representative of how you'll generally play in South Africa... is it? Man I didn't even watch it. I knew it wouldn't be worth the time. It's the first match with this manager and mostly he started players who are lacking fitness/may be the preliminary cuts from the squad. Especially in the first half actually. If we are playing like that come the last friendlies, I'll be worried, but as someone experienced with Nigerian football this doesn't stir me. Honestly, man you should have asked me before watching. I could have saved you the time. Haruna Lukman is supposed to have played pretty well though, which is encouraging as he has been balling for Monaco. Also pleased to see Ikechukwu Uche trying to gain fitness. He can embarass any defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Italy, Jormany, Brazil and ANOTHER for the semis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've got Argentina, Spain, France and Holland as my semi finalists. I've got Portugal winning their group which means Brazil gets Spain in the second round. I've got England going out at the quarters to the French.

Canuck Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Spain to beat Brazil in the Final. Argentina to beat England in the 3-4 match. The way my bracket works, England have the easiest ride to the semis and Argentina have to go through Germany. With Germany's injuries I think the Argies will make it through and lose to Spain in the semi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast as hell and a hell of a finisher on his day (but then i've seen games where he's been totally useless...weird). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Holland to win and v. Persie top scorer was 66/1 last time I checked. Excellent odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Don't think they're excellent at all tbh. Holland are 10/1 and RVP is 14/1. I know they're linked but 66/1 doesn't strike me as good value. Not that I don't think they have a good chance. RVP as top scorer is generally a good shout - he shouldn't be short of service, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Can't really look beyond Brazil and Spain but I've got a feeling the Argies will do well. If Messi, Tevez and Higuain click then they'll just brush past most teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't think they have a good chance. RVP as top scorer is generally a good shout - he shouldn't be short of service, either. Dependent on staying fit i see RvP and Sneijder being two of the star performers and creating a formidable partnership. I hope so. Top scorer and Holland to get to the final at 33/1 and to win at 66/1 for me. I think Germany might win it though, need to get to the bookies before start of tourno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Pretty bold shout that, Gash. Germany won't go out early but can't see them getting to the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I reckon: A: Uruguay and Mexico B: Argentina and Nigeria C: England and USA D: Germany and Serbia E: Holland and Denmark F: Italy and Paraguay G: Brazil and Portugal H: Spain and Chile ...although there'll probably be a shock. Even South Africa have a chance - home support could take that poor group of players through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
