Oh, I almost forgot, could have been deadly, 14.41pm! Right O, super Spain. I would have gone all in, but considering that many of the matches have been closer than expected I'll hold a little in reserve - Spain 85 paellas!

:eek: spain were awful.
teams need to learn how to break down stubborn hard-working teams. you beat them with pace down the outside and switching sides. I have watched too many teams try to pass their way through the centre of banks of players.
Spain played great, everything they did went well except putting it in.
Yeah! Come on Switzerland!!! Oh I've lost10 Nivens...
:nonod::nonod::nonod::banghead: :bawling::cuss: :rolleyes: Spain lost!!!!
poor mark has lost all! :(
How the mighty are fallen. But if they learn the lesson, they may still win the cup.
Chile were impressive though! Sanchez was in harmony with that ball. he was amazing to watch.
WHAT!!! Spain lost ! Good grief, i'm down to my last few Dan Browns. Is begging allowed on the cold streets of lit-net.
You get the guitar and I'll get the hat...
80 paellas on that one gone.
Dont you mean 85 Neely? :(
Damn, don't tell Sch, shushhhh...Quote:

I think that game is the general theme of the world cup so far. If you stack the defensive box and you play physical, hard nosed defense, then you can match up with the very best. Paraguay, Uruguay, S. Korea, N.Korea, and now Switzerland. They all over achieved with it. It may not make for the most exciting football, but it levels the field and if you get a little lucky, like the Swiss, you might just pull it off.

Scher - I just noticed, you didn't bet on Spain!
I was at work all day today and did not get a chance; otherwise, I would have bet 30 on Spain as well :D
"Saved by the bell"... Literally!
:sad: I don't know what to do here, not happy - I've got the face on anyway.
5 on Uruguay?
Hellyeah, Switzerland is going crazy tonight!
I most certainly wasn't, he's only lost 100 'whatevers' but Spain will now have to play that much better to get back in the running.Quote:

Following the betting on the betting forums, a lot of people lost a lot of money on the Spanish match, though some regained a little on Uruguay. Of course though, it may be something losing 5/10 grand on Spain, as some I "spoke" to have, but do they know that I lost 80 or (85 paellas) on the same game? I doubt it. Do they realise the pain I feel being thrashed by Sch at this stage? No. So they should be thankful that they have only lost 5/10 grand then really. :nopity:
I expect the tournament to pick up from now, being into the group second stages as per tonight, as let's be honest it has been slow, (slow but still fun).
I can't believe that I am at that evil place tomorrow instead of sitting with a beer watching the Arg Vs SK match, which should be a good one. If I had my way everything, apart from beer and sausage production, would stop for the World Cup. Damn it all...the only thing that matters is beer and football. Beer, football and sun (ish), does it really get much better than this? (Well actually it does in a way, as I have opera, racing and holidays planned, ah, the summer months, but it is all close to perfection really...) :thumbsup:
Hmmm - its hotting up.
Argentina win 10 Chaucers
Nigeria win - 10 Chaucers
Mexico win 5 Chaucers
I'm really enjoying the matches that I can get to see, and it was a real surprise to see Spain lose. Good old MOTD when I can't get back to see them live.
Now my bets for today:
Argentina vs S. Korea: Argentina, 5 Saro Wiwas
Greece vs Nigeria: Draw, 5 Saro Wiwas
France vs Mexico: Draw, 5 Saro Wiwas
If I had any dickensians left
Id be going on Argentina and France to win, Greece and Nigeria to draw.
But as I'm virtually skint I'm waiting for the surest sure thing of the tournament - England tomorrow.
I'm going out on a limb today, and I'm going to use D.H. Lawrence as the currency. :D
Argentina/S. Korea Draw 10 Lawrences
Nigeria win - 20 Lawrences
France/Mexico Draw 10 Lawrences
Argentina vs Korea - Argentina wins (5 Christies)
Greece vs Nigeria - Nigeria wins (5 Christies)
France vs Mexico - Draw (5 Christies)
...I have to be a little more conservative now :lol:
France win - 5 crowns
40 Dudeck Mclosco’s on Argentina please.
10 on Argentina to win
5 on a draw between Nigeria and Greece
5 on Fr.... nope cant do it! Goes against the fibre of my being right now! 5 on Mexico to win.
50 on Argentina
10 on a France mexico draw
10 on greece nigeria draw
