World Cup 2014

Great job Portugal!! Solid defending. Excellent composure. Impeccable passing and movement.



In all seriousness, Portugal are going to get destroyed. But Germany have been good. Unfortunate that Khedira missed that opportunity handed to him by Patricio but Gotze looks like he has a good goal in him.

So I won a 25€ bet on Pepe getting the red.

Thanks Pepe

Looking at all of the squads before the tournament, I was most impressed by Germany. Would really like to see Portugal get something from this game but I think they will have problems if they expect Ronaldo to do everything for them and I'll be annoyed if their tactical approach is just to get Pepe repeatedly attempting to lob the ball up to him for 90 minutes. He looked so frustrated during the CL final and seemed completely fed up in the build up to Marcelo's goal. Marcelo gave him the ball and he immediately passed it back as if to say he didn't want any further part in the game. Will definitely be an interesting game though.

Germany are fairly weak actually. No striker bar Klose (who is 35), no Reus who is injured and Mertesacker at the back who is like a snail (although good in the air)

Muller was joint top scorer last World Cup. Plenty of skill at the back and in the front, Goetze, Ozil, Lahm, Boateng...

And Schuerrle.

hey lemon do you like soccer?

Yep. I used to watch off and on whenever I had cable television, but I don't have cable anymore so I have to either pirate matches or find a live stream website. I plan on following the premier league this upcoming season.

nice! this premier league have been the best season that i have ever seen.

[DiegoSapiens]

and coentrao out, maybe i need to eat my own words for ehbs as it looks more than usa have possibilities now

[Muncey]

Said before, Ronaldo carries Portugal and even then they're still so shit. They're worse than England for under performing.

Stuck -2 Germany which looks to be coming in, Germany to win to nil (Portugal not to score) looks like it could be coming in unless Ronaldo pulls off something.

Just bet on Muller to get his hatrick 2/1 and Schurrle next goal scorer 6/1

[ezza]

bet this guys a fucking wreck

[DiegoSapiens]

good one muncey did you actually bet on that?

[Muncey]

Yeah £2.50 on 2/1 muller hatrick at ht.

-2 I stuck £2.50 on it's about £22 back. £2.50 on Germany only to score is £8.75 back I think.

Lost a quid in schurrle next goal scorer though lol.

My mate sent me that bet agent, said id cash out all day long, nearly 4.5k off a 5er.. Fuck relying on Portugal.

[Muncey]

Cheers Neuer! Great freekick.

[ezza]

haha really?

i dont gamble but i reckon i would of gave it a go

4k is like a nice amount of money but you could kinda make it yourself... where as you're never gonna get a lump some of 26k in everyday life

[rickyarbino]

You talking about dealing again, Agent?

[RKM]

i get about that much for public speaking engagements

[ezza]

You talking about dealing again, Agent?

what

It's this sort of attitude that will ensure you forever remain a peasant

Said before, Ronaldo carries Portugal and even then they're still so shit. They're worse than England for under performing.

Completely agree! It will be well within England's ability to smash this Portuguese team. They're competitors for worst team in the tournament along with Honduras. Feel sorry for Ronaldo. He put in some good work despite being surrounded by such poor quality. Really think USA should go for it against Portugal.

True but 4k from £5 is a lot.. for gambling anyway. Its rare you'll get that close without either a ridiculous 14 fold or lumping on a couple of hundred. I bet a lot I know how utterly gutting it is to get so close then lose.. if that guy didn't cash out he'll be regretting that for a long long time.

I'd rather have 4k and think "fuck I could have had 25k" than end up with nothing and thinking I could have had 4. I guess it depends on your situation though, depends how desperate you are for 4k.

Up to £71.50 from an initial 2 bets of £1.50 and £1

NEXT GAME!

[ezza]

imagine if you cashed in and then they scored though

that would fuck me up

[Muncey]

Fuck you up for a while until you realise you've just got over 4 grand from £5. After a couple days that'll sink in and thats what you'll remember.. over 4 grand to piss away on shit if you wish. Whereas if he didn't cash in, you'll remember throwing 4k away and leaving you with fuck all. That'll hurt more in the long run imo.

TBF I'd have cashed in before the game and just gone wild, not even bother watching the game.

[ezza]

yeah i guess

anyways, this is why i dont gamble
