World Cup Games. Day Two.

[James]

Mexico vs. Cameroon, Spain vs. Netherlands and Chile vs. Australia.
Thoughts on today's games? I can give you one certainty. Australia will struggle to even get a shot on target in this group and I say that as an Australian myself.
In saying that, I've backed Mexico and Spain to win with a draw in the final game. Stand to make $250 if I can pull it off. Hey, Chile vs. Australia COULD be a 0 - 0...


... right?



Hello?

 

[cloggypop]

Nearest big pub to me has a cover charge for the Dutch match. Wankers.

 

[Mors]

You'd think they'd be bankers for Spain, Mexico and Chile. It'll probably be the most obvious one that slips up, Spain.
Be interesting to see how van gaal gets on, he's not got the worst squad, but it's not exactly great either. Their star players are all knocking on a bit.

 

[Buddha]

Chile are 5/1 to win their group - get on now.

They'll waltz past the Aussies tonight whilst either one of Spain/Holland will lose or both draw. Chile will have a potential big psychological edge over their rivals in subsequent games, given they might well have 0 or 1 point on the board.

I've had a win treble (and doubles) on France (4/5), Chile (5/1) and Japan (5/1) to win groups.

5/1 is a phenomenal price, are you sure Bud? Betfair has them at 4/1 which IMO is still a very tempting price.

I fancy Spain to beat Holland comfortably and Chile to beat the Aussies but can't for the life of me figure out the Mexico v Cameroon game.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Fancy Cameroon to beat the Mexicans, surely the Chile/Oz game is just a case of how many for Chile?

 

[ILD]

Chile are 1/2 with PP.

 

[Mors]

Australia are just lucky they're not facing our old boy, the Chilean David beckham

 

[ILD]

Is Vidal injured?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Chile are 1/2 with PP.

Blimey, that looks like free money.

Draw me thinks

 

[cloggypop]

he's not got the worst squad

It is the worst Dutch squad ever

 

[Hansern]

It is the worst Dutch squad ever

How do you think he'll set them up Cloggy? Robben, Sneijder and RVP are certain starters.

He has been trying a 5-3-2 as he has no faith in the defenders.

It should be RVP and Robben up front with Sneider in the 3. Strootman is a big miss for them.

 

[cloggypop]

Here is how they lined up against Wales in the last friendly (except it was not 4-3-3 Sky are talking shite)

If you put Janmatt at RWB and move Fer from up front with de Jong both at DM and Sneider a bit further forward.

Ron Vlaar is the most experienced defender. Ron Vlaar.

Was Stan James I think - backed the group win last week. 4/5 on France is the (relative) massive price - simply can't see them not winning that group.

 

[King Binny]

#MEX XI: Ochoa, Rodriguez, Marquez, Herrera, Layun, Dos Santos, Moreno, Guardado, Peralta, Aguilar, Vazquez.
#CMR XI: Itandje, Assou-Ekotto, Nkoulou, Djeugoue, Song, Moukandjo, Eto'o, Choupo Moting, Chedjou, Mbia, Enoh.

Janmatt looks a decent right back

 

[Frogfish]

Spain, Chile & Cameroon.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

A nice heart warming piece on Sturridge there, ahhh.

Nice compliment from Cannavaro saying he would get in the Italy team.

 

[cloggypop]

Dos Santos scores but is given offside.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Another diabolical decision, Cameroon look a shower of shite.

 

[FoxForceFive]

So we were walking through the supermarket doing our weekly shop about an hour ago, & I asked Luke & Harrison who they wanted to win, Mexico or Cameroon.

Luke shouted Mexico dead loud, so Harrison, who didn't know what to say, shouted Mexicoon at the top of his voice.

Yes, the supermarket was very busy, & yes there were many people of various ethnicity who looked at me in disgust.

Cue me saying very loudly, 'No, Mexico or Cameroon', over & over.

 

[gkmacca]

ITV's top co-commentator, apparently, is Clarke Carlisle! Unbelievable, Brian!!

 

[Hansern]

Itv with Clarke Carlisle. Do they want peoples ears to bleed??

 

[cloggypop]

They don't like Dos Santos

Second goal given off

 

[Fabio]

Do Santos is shite, can't even hold a line

 

[gkmacca]

This looks like being a classic world cup for refs.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

That linesman needs putting down.

 

[cloggypop]

Do Santos is shite, can't even hold a line

Stop baiting Modo
