I knew i should have gone with my instinct on Ghana winning! Ah well! tomorrow is another day!
And seeing as i'm in work for 4am...
Here are my bets for the first two matchs tomorrow... (still mulling over the final match)
Holland (Netherlands) 20
Cameroon 5
20 faulkners on the Netherlands.
For tomorrow:
10 Rowlings on the Nederlands
5 Rowlings on Cameroon
10 Rowlings on Italy. :lol:
I don't know what's going on with the betting on this thread, I haven't really taken much notice, but I have Slovenia in the sweepstake at work........Wooohoooo:ciappa: I thought they were rubbish, but they could be the winners of the group.Quote:

No, no. I like football (soccer as we call it) but I really only follow the World Cup. There's so much sports in the US that I get overwhelmed as it is.Quote:

I hate this cautious approach, but needs must while I recoup my disasterous losses.
Ok, in case I'm not back later I better put in my bets now. In honor of Italy playing we shall have to go ith the dante as the currency. :D
Nederlands ~ 10 dantes to win
Cameroon ~ 5 dantes to win
Italy ~ 10 dantes to win
:wink5:
That's been a remarkable match yesterday, and I won my Eliots back :)
Today:
Netherlands vs Denmark -- Draw, 5 Gaskells
Japan vs Cameroon -- Cameroon, 5 Gaskells
Italy vs Paraguay -- Italy, 5 Gaskells
I have been over-cautious when I am sure of a good result, not today:
60 on Holland
15 on a cameroon/japan draw
60 on Italy
I am predicting a danish victory.
Denmark win - 50 crowns
Cameroon win - 10 crowns
Italy win - 10 crowns

I watched a rugby game (on t.v.), held at one of the new stadiums right before the world cup started, and it was horrible. I felt sorry for the players, and you could hardly hear the commentators. The ref wanted to talk to the t.v. ref about a try, but he couldn't hear a thing over the noise. So I hope they ban it...and I don't feel like a traitor for saying it either :D
So...

Draw is a wishful thinking more than anything else, I guess, by the look of the bets but I am not sure if write Denmark off so easily either.
AND can't even watch the match! :mad:
