Hang on - did I miss something here? 'Next batch of 100 coins'?
Ok all 20 Cervantes on Spain beating Honduras. If this isn't a sure thing, then I give up with this world cup.
There has been so much blood on the carpet during these group stages, Scher has decided to implement a Gordon Brownesque fiscal stimulation initiative for the knockout stages.Quote:

nice, I thought I was out completely, I was gonna bet on Denmark to win against Japan on Thursday though.
20 on Portugal
30 on Chile
5 on a draw between Spain and Honduras... If they play the way they did in the last game then i dont expect Spain to win!
60 portugal
50 chile
50 spain (cant be that bad again surely?)

OK, I am not watching this game anymore.

Ha, ha, not true, I have all my addictions under control, I am much more careful with real money and I have only gone through about 48 bottles of Stella last week. Don't worry, I've been and got another 3 crates so I have plenty stocked up in the Kitchen.

Strange business.
Some really deluded types here think we can maybe draw with Paraguay as well in our group, which has raised the thought of what happens in a group if teams end on identical points.
Turns out, some official draws a name out of a hat!
I find that unbelievable.
A team could easily work for four years, fight for three points, only to be told they go home because some bloke who probably never played the game eliminated them on a coin toss!
Yeah that would indeed suck, yet what alternative is there? Flying the teams together for a rematch or a penalty shootout would disturb the tournament time schedule. Additionally, if a team can't even get enough points to clearly get second in a group, then they gotta expect losing to a coin toss..Quote:

Anyone who knows what happened in November probably understands why their actions are annoying me. They didnt deserve to be there in the first place, they are proving they didnt deserve to be there in the first place and their behaviour and lack of care about being there while ruining their chances of winning or proceeding, has angered me. Getting into the World Cup meant alot to my country and because of the cheating French, we were denied it FIFAs lack of care in "fair play" meant we werent taken seriously when complaining against their precious France. Wonder what they are thinking now. I hope they are cursing their judgement and mockary of the ROIs appeals. Karma is biting them in the bottom!:incazzato:
It is only as a very last resort though. It comes down to points, goal difference, goals scored, result in the head-to-head before lots are drawn. It has only happened once in World Cup history. In the case of New Zealand they would have to draw with Paraguay and Italy would have to draw to Slovakia with the same scoreline for that to happen. So if NZ drew 1-1 and Italy drew 0-0 NZ would go through on goals scored. So lots are unlikely to happen. If they did draw them though and it was between Italy and New Zealand for the lots I wouldn't fancy your chances on the "50/50" though if you know what I mean, sorry to say...Quote:

Argentina win - 50
Nigeria/South korea draw - 5
might as well get my stakes in too....
Mexico and Uruguay to Draw in order to keep whiny French out- 10
South Africa- 5
Argentina- 40
Nigeria and South Korea to Draw- 5
Here are my bets:
Mexico win 5 Castenadas
France and South Africa draw 5 Castenadas
Argentina win 10 Castenadas
Nigeria win 5 Castenadas
I'd put everything on on a Mexico Uruguay draw.
Its easy when you've no coin though.
I'm not risking anything on these ones.
I've been out of action lately...had to work for a change :D but seeing as my team's playing today I have to put a bet on that at least!
So, I'll say all in on South Africa to win today! That's 20 muntstukke Scher, not 25...last time I bet was on England and I actually lost 5 to the draw.
Ok, here are my bets for today.
In honor of the French being so entertaining this world cup - entertaining OFF the FIELD, that is - I am going to bet on that game. :D
South Africa to win ~ 10 Voltaires :p
Argentina to win ~ 30 Voltaires
Why everyone thinks that Mexico will win :confused5:? or to a draw.. !!!
I think Forlan can do it.. and Uruguay wants to be the head of the Group.. to be in a good position and not face Argentina later .
