Not really a spread punter but looking at the total goals spread with SI they have gone 159-161.5. There have only been 3 World Cups with 64 games played. 1998 = 171, 2002 = 161 and 2006 = 147. Looking at teams that qualified only 14 of the 31 covered the required average of 2.5. I would presume the drop in goals is down to the rise of the holding midfielder and the shift to 4-5-1/4-3-3. Thinking of going under, has anybody got any thoughts on this or advice before i get carried away and lose the cats supply of Whiskers for the month of June.

90 mins only as well which is in your favour and should be worth about 3-4 points to you.

most world cups played in seering heat -this one won't be -could mean more goals than average

there are some awful teams in this world cup which could mean some real hammerings. Toss of a coin. Interest bet only.

i agree big jesus but the groups seem balanced enough and there are always hammerings in the World Cup, Argentina 6 Serbia 0 in 06 as an example

true enough, i take your point, North Korea could be in for 3 humiliations if their team is a poor as reported.

The min the North Korean plane touches down they will all defect

the alleged poorer teams will have worked hard on the defence and probably will be delighted if they only concede 2 or 3 so as there willbe some low scoring tactical games i would be going under

The new ball could be worth a couple of goals if the reports are anywhere near true.
