General consensus of the "experts" is that Germany and Nigeria will have pretty easy wins today.

Thoughts?

Germany -.5
Under 2.5


on germany as well. Just don't see how portugal stops them. Unless portugal can steal an early goal I think they lose here.

Of course this bet is more about being bored at work on a monday than anything else lol

Nice start for germany. Portugal has had some great chances though.

I am not here to rub it in but how could anybody take a under right now with how this world cup is playing out? Only 1 under so far and that should have been a over with the bad calls and goals taken off the board

I didn't take the under but I think this is a bogus comment. In hindsight every single bet seems like a no brainer.


That's like me saying "I don't see how anyone took the heat in that series, the spurs are clearly better" Easy to say after the series is over.

It is a fact that there has now been 12 World Cup games and 1 under thats all i am saying it is very hard to bet an under right now untill the books start uping the totals and i see that there are alot of 3s starting tomorrow.

This is a very very sloppy Portugal side. If the USA can hold Ghana to a draw, they might be able to sneak out a win vs Portugal.

the 4-0 beat down could loom large against a Portugal tiebreaker if they end up getting their shit together and tie for 2nd in the group.

At the same time Holland beating Spain 5-1, Costa Rica beating Uruguay 3-1 or Argentina beating Bosnia 2-1 (imo o/u line was 3 by the way) doesn't really give you much insight on the scoring you should expect in a game between f.e. Iran and Nigeria. It's just a small sample so far and probably will sort of even out the more this competition goes on.
Just saying I'd be extremely cautious about betting any game involving Germany under, but wouldn't shy away from an under bet because in general this wc has seen a bunch of goals.

How do you see the Iran and Nigeria match going soriano? I cashed an easy winner with germany but I don't think I want to push my luck with an unpredictable Nigeria going against a great coach in Iran. I think this is a good one to lay off and just enjoy the match.

Enjoy the match. The Iranians looked fired up.

Probably will do the same with the USA.

Iran almost always a good under bet because of their style unless they play a far superior side like ARG. But easy to say this at ht, didn't make any bets though.
Would also expect Nigeria to score in the 2nd half and win it by 1-0, Iran's only real scoring threat are set pieces, very slow transition game, little to no movement away from the ball.
