Thread: Football World Cup 2010

  1. #391
    Hmm, tough matches tomorrow. I don't know where my Dudeck Mclosco’s are going as yet. Can you bet on a snoozefest with the Greek match?

    Following the betting on the betting forums, a lot of people lost a lot of money on the Spanish match, though some regained a little on Uruguay. Of course though, it may be something losing 5/10 grand on Spain, as some I "spoke" to have, but do they know that I lost 80 or (85 paellas) on the same game? I doubt it. Do they realise the pain I feel being thrashed by Sch at this stage? No. So they should be thankful that they have only lost 5/10 grand then really.

    I expect the tournament to pick up from now, being into the group second stages as per tonight, as let's be honest it has been slow, (slow but still fun).

    I can't believe that I am at that evil place tomorrow instead of sitting with a beer watching the Arg Vs SK match, which should be a good one. If I had my way everything, apart from beer and sausage production, would stop for the World Cup. Damn it all...the only thing that matters is beer and football. Beer, football and sun (ish), does it really get much better than this? (Well actually it does in a way, as I have opera, racing and holidays planned, ah, the summer months, but it is all close to perfection really...)

    Hmmm - its hotting up.

    Argentina win 10 Chaucers
    Nigeria win - 10 Chaucers
    Mexico win 5 Chaucers

    I'm really enjoying the matches that I can get to see, and it was a real surprise to see Spain lose. Good old MOTD when I can't get back to see them live.

    I'm going out on a limb today, and I'm going to use D.H. Lawrence as the currency.

    Argentina/S. Korea Draw 10 Lawrences

    Nigeria win - 20 Lawrences

    France/Mexico Draw 10 Lawrences

    So much for my stupid hunches. Argentina looked outstanding. Boy, I hate to say that too, becasue I can't stand them. Is it me or is Argentina just not a likable bunch?

    Edit: Scher I just noticed. I must be honest. I had Argentina to draw, not win.

    Opera? Are you a singer Neely? And what kind of racing?

    Thank you, Virgil!

    I had simply assumed that you must have meant a win for Argentina.


    I like Argentina. They are energetic, skilled and passionate in their game. They show a team spirit that is lacking in most others.

    They have been one of the few impressive teams so far, in my opinion.
