WORLD CUP OUTRIGHT

Argentina still ahead on points, a team, it'll be x rated stuff for Brazil's midfield as soon as they come up against a decent side, Morocco showed what it'll be like in their first half against them.

"Until they face a complete anti-football display, there's no telling how they'll get on." Well, we've just seen how they got on. Are they double figured price yet?

Yeah England created nothing, out to 4th in the betting.

So Norway start off at 40, after 2 games they are the 2nd highest scorers of 48 teams, Haaland is running amok, and their price is.... 40

After everyone played 2 games

The market seems to fail to anticipate predictable outcomes. Japan yesterday were in all probability set to be 2nd in the group and play Brazil in the round of 32, and they were priced at 46.

I just thought it was because Japan were that respected. But now they are actually playing Brazil they are at 70 with 75 quite matchable.

Your book is woeful

It's not very balanced so far is all, as Norway too big to lay much. It's hardly started as a betting event really.

find it hard to tell the difference between the green text and red, maybe bolding them might help

France v Norway tonight will really tell where this Norway team are at.

mes must be colour blind

I am actually colour blind, cannot tell the difference between the browns and greens on a snooker table either, so probably just me, I had to press ctrl+ to increase screen size just to tell the difference to post in the graphic below

that's for me and my fellow colour blind comrades

what happened to France price, I backed at 1.63, now 1.45. Not complaining mind. vs Norway

is Haaland injured or what?

Haland RESTED

1.64 to 1.43 in less than 2 hours, that's a helluva plunge. Is something up in the Norway Camp?

is that confirmed, i'msolucky?

Haaland to start on bench according to "sources", whoever they are.

Norway resting all players, inside info have lumped on France and laid the **** out of norway

yep. me too, at 1.63 I'm happy to say.

The Argies.

FFS

It's not often I'm speechless.

looks like france v argentina final as it stands

De ja VUE!!!

If 8/1 is a fair reflection of England's chances then World football must be at rock bottom. That probably explains the 'success' of Southgate as well.

It looked a very easy Group. I didn't see the first game, but 4-2 result against Croatia didn't look that wonderful; they were dire in next match, and not that much better last time, where two very ordinary goals saved the blushes.

its the only bet I've had dd a lay of eng outright
a truly shocking tournament lauded as elite level sport

Happy to lay Brazil @21 while 0-1 second half.

That didn't work out well

it will in the long run, this Brazil team is not winning the World Cup

Maybe, Japan @95 seems generous as they are above expectations here but a bigger price

Well I've been laying the hell out France.  3.15 is way too short. If they just go a goal down at some point they will be bigger.

Still stuck with my Norway bets as bigger price than SP

ooh, nice.

Unless Spain can put it together and play like they can, I really can't see who can stop France.

yup im all over france- look by far the best team so far

Brazil Argentina Colombia can beat France.

France have played easy teams so far

so have argentina and all the top teams

I only watched the second half last night. Not surprised at the reaction, it's what you get if you trying to sell the game. How did it take France 45 minutes to score? Even that was terrible defending, surely you should be at least trying to always cover the inside. If he goes outside then the danger is limited. Same for the third goal. In the second half the Swedish midfield may as well have got the deckchairs out. They were literally just standing around watching. You might be outclassed, but you can at least make it look like you are trying. I didn't see a lot of the Group games, but Sweden in that second half looked the worst side I have seen. Even then they managed a couple of chances. I would have thought the blueprint against France is to convert one of those chances, and then defend an awful lot better than Sweden. The second part shouldn't be that difficult.

They could have had 3 or 4 in the first half, hit the post twice and dembele missed a good chance

But yes, it's Graham Potter remember and the Dutch put 5 past them

Argentina still my favourites and it's looking like mimicking the last WC regarding France and Argentina to me, France the sexy option with all that explosiveness just as they were last time but Argentina very much the complete team capable of absorbing France's firepower and delivering their own, less flashy offensive, but equally as effective threat.

England into the last 16 and a bigger price than pre tournament

Likewise Brazil.

Your book still looks woeful

A harsh assessment of Sweden above, imho. I thought they did as well as they could.

you still going in hard on Norway

Morocco 36 Be 10 when France get beat

YHIHF

Hope so!

Morocco were 40 at kick off but I could back them @46 when 1-0 up

Tobermory what's the rationale behind the big red on France?

Just that 2/1 seemed too short for anyone to be at Last 16 stage, and, as said above, even if they just go a goal down there is a big chance to reduce the red, even if they ultimately win it.

And all reds get reduced when Norway win

But I would never go all green at this stage

Fantastic play tober.

You couldn't could you, you're red or practically red on the first three favs.

Well done, did not see them getting this far.

If Mexico beat England, you'll be laughing even more.

I'm small green England, about 118 red Mex, but yeah Norway would go a lot shorter.

I don't think Norway's price would shift much if Mexico win, 20/1 or thereabouts seems short to me with the likelihood that they have to face probably three teams out of England, Mexico, Spain, France and Argentina, you'd think that because the field is narrowing down that they must shorten but in truth only a tiny percentage of the market has been removed so it hasn't narrowed down because all of the teams that can win it are all still there, Norway are unlikely to get a pass which is what you'd want.

Obviously you want one or more of the big guns slipping up, in a likely semi final line up Norway would be comfortably a double figure price to win  the World Cup still.

Yeah, Norway maybe only drop from 20 to 17 if Mexixo win, but I could see them out to 24/25 if England won well.

Getting a good run for your money though, with Haaland there's always a chance too.

The Argies, Spain or France slipping up is where the price will dive, you're small greens on Morocco and Colombia and a small red on Portugal but in reality those three teams are all big greens for you.

What would Norway be in a final against France. 3s?

I think they smash Argentina, so it's just beating England

Argentina ain't getting smashed by anyone lol

Need Spain and Belgium to win tonight.

Looking ahead to Thursday I think France at 1.63 against Morocco is a play. Similarly, England at 6.6 for the competition.

The future:-

England -> Norway -> Argentina -> Final; Egypt, Switzerland and Colombia are unlikely to me.
France -> Morocco -> Spain -> Final; Portugal, Belgium and USA are unlikely to me.

England / Argentina vs France / Spain -> Final. An all European final?

Now firmly Green.

Don't have a penny on England.

Not a penny on any team. I might before Saturday. So far every free bet has gone down the plug hole.

128	France		4	Colombia
84	Spain		329	Morocco
23	Argentina		665	Belgium
92	England		317	Switzerland
1,208	Norway		121	Egypt

They are awful and over confident. Although maybe this current humbling from Egypt will help them in the long run (should they even make it)

Tired from Cape verdi game
Wouldnt want extra time AGAIN

Conceded 3 to Egypt smashed

Colombia 14/1 from 65 could make the final now

Tommy Tuchel certainly seems to have inherited Sarfgate's "luck of the draw".

Instead of Brazil then the Argies to get to the final it's now Norway followed by Colombia/Switzerland/Egypt.

Could be huge on my face here, but Colombia 3s to make the semi-final. I think it’s huge.
I can’t get on myself

Blink of eye
lol
Egypt  defend ong

By time type it out
Colombia million lol

have a much better position on Argentina now than England/Spain

A few £k got matched on Argentina around 50's whilst they were 2-0 down to Egypt

Can the mods delete my previous post please

decent that but its going to be a french win i reckon

There's not too much between France, England and Spain and with the help they've been getting from VAR you can't write off the Argies.

It might well come down to that fine line called luck!
