lucky never listen to u on Sweden... hahaha
Yah, but if you would have listened to me on Germany (give 1.5 / 2.00 goals) and England (dun play), you might not have lost all 3 games...... Honestly, this WC is getting very unpredicable, given the high margin allowances and hence the poor odds for taking the hot favourites. Sweden, for instance, played so much better than England but was not awarded any goals. while England, who played like fumbled school teams without a credible strike force, could secure the game as early as the 4th minute. Yes, the ball is round, but you are also betting on cumulative statistics - which could be intepreted as experience and consistency in big games like these. So, if the odds are bad, say England to give 1 goal or more against defensive teams like Trinidad, simply dun bet without Rooney playing. Also, teams with better team composure and techiques have delivered so far, although the first game is hard to find the right scoreline to justify their competitive edge - Germany, Argentina, Holland. These are truly the pedigree teams. And notice I have not championed England as the team to reckon with despite book makers odds. They have yet to prove me wrong.

if got half ball advantage from Australia .... Australia or Japan
First of all, this will not be a goalless game - both defense are porous. My mind will go with Australia, although my heart says Japan. The Aussies can be a tough physical team to reckon with given Guus Hiddink's known transformative power in teams like Korea. And Aussies are often under-rated with names like Tim Cahill, Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell, Brett Emerton, and Craig Moore. I will take Australia to give 0.5 goals.
Which match will you catch?
USA-CZE or ITA-GHA?
