You know, Portugal really impressed me. I'm going to take a chance on them. And while Japan did look good, it's really tough to go against the South American countries. They seem to be the tops of this world cup.
50 Saramagos on Paraguay to win
50 Saramagos on Portugal to win
20 on Paraguay, they are playing very well in this world cup.
30 on Paraguay only. Japan could surprise.
I am now paying the price for not being adventorous enough with my bets so today:
600 Paraguay
1200 Spain
300 on Paraguay
:lol: How much do you have?Quote:

Why do I have to work so many hours during the best time of the Cup??? I won't even be able to watch this one :mad:
And I will actually be very happy if Japan goes through but looking at the track records of the teams, Paraguay seems like more likely to win.
Japan is not giving up. The game is cruising towards penalties isn't it?
It's a good game. Paraguy knows they're bigger than the Japanese and are pushing them around. They are manhandling them. Hope the Japanese can pull it out.
I love watching penalty shootouts! This one was quite intense, I was actually hoping Japan would win, because y'all bet so much on Paraguay.. But 5/5 penalties in is just an excellent performance.
Tonight's game is very open, it will be very interesting (won't bet anything)..
And then: Two days without games!! I need to find some other activity to pass time, otherwise I might get withdrawal symptoms..
80 on Spain.
Ok, Paraguay home thanks to penalties, which is good enough.
Sticking with the P theme, I'll have just 100 on Portugal.
I'm not betting on this game. I just cant call it.
40 on Spain.

After finding out the result of Paraguay vs Japan game, I am a little happy that I did not get to watch it; all this stress is not good for little, old heart (nor for my finger nails which are getting shorter and shorter).
Dodo> I feel your pain! Two games without games!!!! And only 10 days left... Just as soon as my holidays start, the Cup will be over.
That'll take some getting used to! What do we do??? :ack:
Spain is back in its element! :banana:
The ball possession must be something like 65 - 35.
And I am worried that Portugal will get nasty now... Whenever the going gets hard, the Portugese players become rough and faul constantly (and not always get penalised for it).
However, go Spain!
I think they have this one now.Quote:

The match was decided by an offside goal - what a surprise!
I woulda loved for Portugal to score in the last minute, right after Spain took Xabi Alonso out of the game. If the universe had a sense for irony, it woulda gotten to another penalty shootout and the Spanish coach would have hammered his head against the goal post for switching out someone who can kick penalties..
Excellent! Another one of my teams march on. Portugal far too defensive and deserve to go out.

Uruguay vs Ghana
No bets till July 1st, please!
The choices are getting tougher and tougher.
Do you think Spain has got what it takes to reach the cup? They have been my favorite after the European Cup but now I am not sure... Are they strong enough to deal with Argentina, Brazil or even Germany?
Germany yes, Argentina maybe, Brazil probably not.Quote:

In terms of betting I'm filling my boots if either Brazil, Spain or Argentina win. I've gone back to the online offers and invested further. I'll post another link later if anyone is interested in doing the same, though the odds are obviously shorter than when I firsted posted the free betting money links.
Always listen to the Neely.;)
Argentina probaly has shown the best game to date, but I'm rooting for the Germans. The seem likable as well as talented. The Argentinians look like a buch of ego maniacs. the Brazilians are always full of themselves, and the Spaniards look like a bunch of evil devils running up and down the field. The Germans seem elegant and upright. :D

Maybe it's those crazy side burns that some of them wear. They also look smaller than some of the other teams and the way the run around they look like crazy animal diablos. Ever see the cartoon character Tasmanian Devil.Quote:

Scher don't you think my total should have been 450?
Well, I think your total should be 1450 or even 2450!Quote:

I am worried that they might get overlooked in amongst all the other posts that will come during the next two days.
Or post them in my profile page so that others can see them as well and know that I am not making them up! :p
I hope your real money bets do way better than your performance on this fake lit net betting. :DQuote:

No, no, I'm completely sober. What can I say, it's just an impression. :wink5: They seem to scoot around like maniacs. :lol:Quote:

Gaaaaawwwddd!!!
Another days of no football!
:svengo:
Maybe this is a good plan by FIFA... They are weaning us off slowly.
I was on such a high on the days when there were three matches but now I am kind of wishing that there were only one match a day and the Cup took 3 months.
I feel like it would be so painful though! I feel as if it were one a day I would be even more frustrated than I am now, waiting for Friday's game. Now I'm jealous of all the people that get to be there... even if most of the games have made me want to commit su. Could you imagine being lucky enough to actually BE THERE? LIVE? I might pass out thinking about it.
Confession: I watch the games in other languages. I prefer not to understand the announcers. I think the refs are doing the same too, because clearly they're not speaking football! Okay, that was rude. I'll stop now.
We were just talking in the office about how much we're missing the football. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...
I'll be wanting the Premier League to start up then...
Yes infact you did make a mistake, just check out my last bet and thenQuote:
