2014 World Cup thread

Cracking start for my bet and for Argentina

I used to think Argentina had a poor defence and it always let them down but with Zab, Garay, Demichellis and Rojo they now have a good back-four as well as a phenomenal attack
 
Well ive got a bet on 2-0, if/when Argentina go 2-0 up im cashing out immediately.
 
Bosnia giving a good account of themselves here it'll open up more if ibisevic comes on in the second half
 
Not Messi's best game is it. Passing has been a bit ****
 
Worst game so far. Argentina have a godlike attack but it doesn't mean much if they can't get the ball to them. Bad passing is hurting them badly. Give them proper ball distributor and they would destroy the world though. But like this, I don't see them going far.
 
Yes Bosnia! Now come on Argentina! I put a wildcard on 3-1!
 
Had a cheeky bet on Messi anytime, over 2.5 goals and an Argentina win. Not bad. :D
 
This is fast becoming the World Cup betting thread ;)

i did did messi to score first aswell as over 2.5 and Argentina to win

when it's an own goal the bet rolls over to the next scorer unless there isn't one then that's covered in betting on no goalscorer
 
Just to clarify that is false and an easy criticism which indeed is not accurate

Gerrard had the second highest pass accuracy of those who started for England (93%, only Jagielka had more on 98%), attempted the most passes and also tried 13 long balls, 11 of which were accurate

Gerrard gave the ball away twice from long balls

Now i am not saying he played well or badly, but its very easy to blame Gerrard for hollywood balls like people always do when it is simply not the case

I am one for stats so won't argue with you on them facts. I do however think he plays too many and un-nessessary long balls.

Ricardo Rodriguez is such a fantastic player. What a game from him!

Had debate a few weeks ago on which left back Chelsea should sign and when i put all the stats together my conclusion was Rodriguez! Two excellent assists today.

Imagine if technology had been introduced before WC 2010.. Lampard's goal and that.

I know mate how ******* annoying! We could have lost 4-2 instead!!! ;)
 
I really hope Ozil has a good game today, if nothing else to shut Ballack up about him losing confidence.
