i've loved watching the s.american teams too. a bit of a shame that theyve all been drawn against each other

 

[Mumorn]

I'd love to see Greece go through......we need another European through instead of a south american

i have no doubt this is a wind up :lol:

 

[El Guepardo]

I have no clue as to who will triumph between Costa Rica & Greece.

 

[jurgen lineker]

I fancy Greece to go through here.

The contact marquez makes with robben impedes robben's natural run, therefore it is a penalty. However, robben has exagerrated the contact, hence should be booked.

the reality of football is that, referee's will never give that as a penalty unless robben goes down. therefore you have to accept that robben will dive to win a penalty which he justly deserves. both marquez and robben are "cheats" in this incident. so what? every player is a cheat in one way or another

I suppose it is akin to a cricket team having to make an appeal to the umpire in order to get an LBW decision. Perhaps some amendment needs to be made to the rules some day in order to counter this rather farcical situation that a footballer effectively has to simulate a dive in order to be awarded a free-kick / penalty.

At least Robben has apologised for diving in the first half of the game, if only the referee had booked him at the time then I doubt Robben would have risked a 2nd yellow by going down so easily at the end.

Mexico arent South American

Mexico, Costa Rica and USA have all participated in the Copa America several times.

Japan as well, iirc


due to the number of countries that form South America they have an invitational nation each tournament to make up the numbers

 

[nerdved]

Costa Rica please.

It's usually Central and North American countries.

I thought bolanos had a beenie on for a minute

My boys have been the surprise package of this world cup and I fancy them to get past Greece

 

[Seedy Ron]

So long as they can summon up 3 goals between them I don't care who wins. Fail to do that and they can both **** right off, losing me my Russian 7 quid.

 

[Baleforce]

I'm on 1-0 to Greece, cash out is already offering profit

 

[Seedy Ron]

Yeah I need Milo's boys to score first I think.

You got money on Greece? brave move mate

I got Serbia in my sweep stake in the pub which has been about as good as the bets I have done on the world cup myself.

If cav does not win the first stage of the Tour De France then I am going on a massive meltdown just warning you

My betting on this world cup has been absolutely appalling.
