    Firstly, is this a football forum or a Spurs forum?
    Secondly, he picks Brazil and Belgium as outsiders, must have been difficult to pick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭DubPerryman


    Brazil and Argentina will be the finalists. Just how FIFA want it - (#corrupt) - plus, I also believe they are the two best teams, given climate etc.

    I like Fred as top goalscorer. As few as five goals could do it.

    Dzeko e/w @50/1 too. He should score against Nigeria and Iran.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,913 ✭✭✭Ormus


    Belgium are like 6th favourites

    Fred is the first choice lone striker for the favourites and hosts.

    Brightest dark horses ever.

    33/1 for Fred is a great value bet!!
    Jeeeez, im only trying to kill a bit of time.:(

    Fair play to them.

    In the doc about Beckham tonight he said that he's never played with any nationality of player who enjoyed playing football for the fun as it as much as the Brazillians!

    got on Fred Brazil double at 66\1 a while ago...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,776 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Not convinced by Brazil at all. Even given the fact they're playing at a home World Cup, I don't see them even as top 2 contenders. I'd have Spain and Germany ahead of them, and I'd fancy Argentina to beat them as well. Colombia will be the dark horses, even without Falcao.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 713 ✭✭✭newuser89


    Miroslav klose for top goalscorer
    Only striker Germany has and he's going for the most goals at world cups record


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭same ol sh1te


    Just threw 20 on Brasil/Messi on Betfair @ 28/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    Outside bet is Ghana, they have a relatively easy run to the semis if Argentina top their group.

    Outside top scorer Dzeko, can be a brilliant player on his day and they have two weak teams in their group.

    I see some big shocks in the groups. I reckon England, Portugal and France will find it hard.

    I think Spain will do it again though.

    My picks for top goalscorer in a €5 E/W bet each:

    Dzeko 50/1
    Drogba 100/1 (I think he might cause Japan big problems)
    Rooney 55/1 (just a gut feeling, no reason)

    Few people have said this but I'm not sure will he start. I'd love to see him get the record though.

    France are my dark horses, I think they may make the final.

    Yeah I don't think he'll be a 90 minute man.

    He's the only target man they have but certainly not the only striker, depending on how you define a striker. I'd add Muller and Podolski for starters. Schurrle and Draxler are also very strikey.

    Brazil to win by hook or by crook against argentina with di maria as player of the tournament.
    England to reach the quater finals too.

    dark horses: Switzerland

    Belgium will also reach the quater finals


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,632 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Croatia are 9/1 to beat Brazil in the first match..
    Not entirely impossable,, is it???? Worth €5..

    Brazil won the Confederations Cup at a canter. While Croatia lost to Scotland TWICE in qualifying...


  • Registered Users Posts: 56 ✭✭mirrors


    Russia to win!

    €5 invested wisely so;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Devo from Dublin


    If you back a winner of the cup outright with a minimum of €10 stake you get a free €5 bet on the Brazil v Croatia game tonight!!

    Went in last night and put a 10r on Germany and did Brazil 3-0 for free!!
    And also did (for a friend), €5 on Portugal and Belguim and did Fred 3-1.;)
    Didnt tell my mate about the free €5 bet!!!:cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,290 ✭✭✭Leinstersqspur


    Put a 10er on Spain and Brazil 3-1 with the freebie, jammy fookers!:D

    I reckon a score draw tonight, Van Gaal and the Dutch to kick Spain around the park. (changed my mind!:D)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭golfball37


    Brazil were blessed last night. The game stank of crookedness so much it turned me off by the end.

    To see why our own fortunes have dipped in the last few years was evident last night.

    Our recent past in the shape of Luka and our present in the shape of Paulinho who looked every bit as bad in yellow as he does in white.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,910 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Paulinho offers nothing at club or international level. I hope he's gone come the start of the season.
