I actually don't mind the Portugal bet at all. Beyond the hedging functionality that was mentioned earlier, I think Portugal has a decent team, and if they get by England, I wouldn't be surprised to see them play a fairly rough game against Brazil (assumption) and give them a run for the money.

Great, Portugal Hedgeing( old Spelling) functionality. You need a lesson in what Bookmakers call Tits Up, only a dope would consider Portugal V Brazil. Football's coming Home and the French have that confidence. Seriously though, welcome to the Forum, your opinions are more than needed with Dopes like Me on here. :toast:

Frings will miss Tuesday's crunch game with Italy
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- E IIMA --><!-- S SF -->Fifa has suspended Germany midfielder Torsten Frings for Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against Italy.
Frings, 29, was involved in the fracas that followed Germany's penalty shoot-out win over Argentina in their World Cup quarter-final on Friday.
The ban is a blow as the Werder Bremen player has been superb for Germany.
Frings has been given a two-match ban, but the second match is suspended meaning he will be available for the World Cup final, if Germany qualify. <!-- E SF -->
Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann said before the verdict that he was confident Frings would be cleared, saying Argentina were to blame for the melee.
"I don't think we were the culprits. He should be in the line-up on Tuesday," Klinsmann said. Fifa had announced on Sunday that it would take no action against the German players.
