I have picked Ivory Coast to win it all. I think they'll get better as the Cup moves forward, but I'm gonna pick them to win the opener. Reckless, sure--but I'm putting it all on Ivory Coast.

New Zealand vs Slovakia
Ivory Coast vs Portugal
Brazil vs N.Korea
Slovakia - 5 Rabelais
Portugal - 10 Rabelais ( I hope they and Ronaldo lose though)
Brazil - 10 Rabelais
28 on Slovakia.
However much I then have - which'll be either 50 or 106 - on Brazil.
Thank you, I thought it was possible, had a couple of real pound on that one too.Quote:

First bets:
Slovakia win 35 Sambas
Portugal win 5 Sambas
I stayed up. And feeling it this morning. Tough to watch the game with Russian announcers. They have absolutely no emotion in calling the game. Plus the language makes me miss things. I didn't realize Italy took Buffon out after half time until this morning.Quote:

Obviously you missed the match Germany / Australia :)Quote:

NZ v Slov- Draw 5
Portugal- 5
Brazil- 40
Scher i'm on 95. I put 5 on Cameroon not two. :)
Anyone wanting to grossly inflate their pool should whack the lot on NZ to lose.
You deserve better than even money for that!Quote:
