    Uru vs Fra: What a boring game that was! Even though my bet was on France, I am glad they did not win at the end... They were useless. And why wasn't Henry in the game earlier?

    ATM:

    Bill: Out!

    Kilted: 115

    Lulim: 95

    Mark: 30

    Neely: 93

    Niamh: 80

    Papaya: 43

    Paul : 87

    Pren: 30

    Scher: 97

    Turquoise: 80

    Virgil: 104



    Taking bets for:

    South Korea vs Greece

    Argentina vs Nigeria

    England vs USA


    Papaya: USA (43)

    Scher: Argentina (10)

    Henry is no longer the one we knew in world cup 1998 .. he's old now !!!!
    i just wished if Benzema was there
    however , i think they will make it .. they can win Mexico and South africa .. and make it through - They are the French after all !!

    96. 3 on the France draw gives me my stake back, 3 + 3 = 6, 96, hands off my Gogols!

    Yes Henry was never going to start. It surprised a lot of people, but I had read that he was told he would start the first two games on the bench at least.

    Still thinking about tomorrows bets, tough call with Greece and S Korea, first one up.

    OK, I want to change my bet:

    US win - 18 coinolas

    Nigeria won - 2 coinolas

    SK draw - 4 coinolas

    Steph Please! not now.

    Well, having lost 70 of my Tolkiens in the first day a more cautious approach is required.

    5 on an England win.


    Thought Forlan was terrific last night.

    South Korea vs Greece: -- 5 on Greece to win

    Argentina vs Nigeria -- 5 on a draw

    England vs USA -- 5 on England to win

    OK, going to go 4g on Greece/South Korea draw (very tough game to call, could go either way but the Greek play very defensively and I think both sides would be happy for a draw for the opener, (could be another 0-0) so I think a draw is the safest option.

    I'm going to go 15g on Argentina win. (I think in all probability Argentina could smash this one, but you never know which Argentina will turn up. I think after the first 5 minutes of the game you will know how this one is likely to turn out.)

    I'm going to stake my g on the England match later.

    South Korea- 5 to win
    England v USA- 10 on a draw

    any one else see the humour in Henry trying to claim a hand ball?

    Edit: Now that I've seen Virgil's post I remembered that I haven't made my bets yet...(and yesterday I forgot about France and Uruguay...I was too busy sobbing).

    So...
    Argentina wins (5 muntstukke)
    England wins (5 muntstukke)
    Greece wins (5 muntstukke)
    ...all my betting is a stab in the dark since I've never watched a whole soccer match until yesterday.
