Why the f*ck will Betfair not let me bet on Cahill to score? They have every player in the squad listed other than the guy who actually scores!

You can have 1000/1 with me

paulcarm - assume you are fishing.  He's suspended.

is he? ok fair enough. it's happened before where there has been a strange player omission

Australia have won the toss and will bowl first (cricinfo)

^^^
this is one of the Australian team hitting a Spaniard in the face with his johnson. A visual representation of how tonight's match could go.

The paddle of rebuke will get an airing sometime tonight...

Good god :(

^^^ That isn't the paddle of rebuke, it's Fabio Cannavaro

Did Fabregas shaft the manager's wife?

What does he have to do to get a game.

Alonso was pure dogsh.yte in previous games yet still starts ahead of him.

Too a lesser extent Mata too....

Read Del Bosque got irritated with him in training the other day.

If there was something on the result, then you'd have to back Spain.  But a combination of this being a dead rubber, Australia having been the better team of the two so far this tournament with real attacking intent, Spain desperate to go home, a changed team, and many players at the end of the road - it all points to a lay of Spain at a very attractive price.

He can't get a game at Barcelona either

And Arsenal don't want him back.

Must be something amiss!

I'm sure he's gutted at that seeing as he's since signed for a better side.

Cames in Curitiba so far:

Iran 0 Nigeria 0
Ecuador 2 Honduras 1

Spain to win by more than 2 goals here I think, no Cahill = no goals for Australia.. unless there's a penalty or something

we just don't have the quality in the box

on villa and toress to score

Small lay of the Spanish. They don't give a feck whether they go home with nil points.

Is this one not on the tellybox?

Feckin' tennis

Think it's ITV4. Who cares though?

itv4

on itv 4

game hardly worth bothering with except for betting purposes wouldn't watch it otherwise +3.5 for me

Australia, who were hopeless in the pre-WC friendlies, have been absolutely amazing in the tournament - both Chile and Holland struggled to get past them.  They can defeat Spain, if they want.

nailed on 0-0

if I can't bet on it, I'm not interested : - there are no other purposes for a football match other than to bet on it.

Cahill a massive miss though.

Where will their goals come from?

Lol,  someone is on spains side? :DDDDDDDDDDDDD This is another 8 odds winner game. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNE..LOBSTER DINNER

On itv4 for the ipl crowd...

Lol,

no surprises here, dead rubber = sh1t match

dull

Pressed the wrong button backed under 1.5 instead of laying it at 6.4 just spotted my error and greened up at 3.4,a bit of luck for a change.

goal spain 1-0  good

phew!! 1-0 spain

need +3.5 big ask after the first 35 mins

who scored ,, villa?

yes

Lovely finish from Villa, very poor defending from the Aussies.

thx missed it flickn channels

aussies had a chance immediately afterwards

You would think they would show the goals on either channel when they go in.

yes that be handy

agreed seeing both games are effectively on the same channel

was on 0-0 @ 24 and it went down to 10. didn't trade... seething

ive got villa 3-0 4-0 so just backed 2-0
watch it will be 5 then

or 1-0

no more than another goal methinks

Australia scoring wouldn't be good then?

if its a draw then spain finish bottom on GD

Not a good game, Spain showing a few moments here and there but overall disappointing.  Australia completely toothless in attack.

lol no,was thinking without cahill they'd be toothless but had few chances from bit ive seen

Aussie commentators ranting on about how forward we are playing, what's the point in playing forward if you can't generate a genuine chance

Don't remember any good chances for Australia myself.

Torres' movement is non existent! He is pure trash!

overrated player, stealing a living

should took torres off

Australia giving it a go, Spain just there physically at this point.  Worth a lay of Spain at 1.15.

2-0 spain, don't think there will be any more

Run rate now 12 an over FFS australia

would cahill have made a difference?

dutch taken the lead against chile

3

it's an absolute travesty that Spain didn't qualify.. look at their squad ffs

one more for +3.5 pleez

if only they played like this in 1st match

1 more be great

sh1t nearly 4

+ again

Spain are too lazt imo, always doing the bare minimum eventually caught up with them.

3-0 ft was asking too much for 4 goals. oz were never going to score and took spain to long to get going.

Doing the bare minimum won them the last 3 tourneys they played in. They must be very lucky.

got scorecast @70 for £3
had 4-0 at 140

What was the Betfair sp on this match ..?
