WC 2010 - 28.06.

Holland - Slovakia, Slovakia to score first @ 3.75 (bet365)  LOST

The Dutch played a perfect qualifications and started WC with all 3 wins and just a single goal conceded (after a doubtful penalty).However,they have a long list of failures on big competitions after underestimations of the opponents and this time they're already seen in a quarter clash against Brazil.Robben is fit,but same as Rooney and Torres and I don't expect (still) great performances from him.

Slovakia made a first class surprise,now they're full of self confidence and can play without any pressure.In a positional game however,they don't have too much chances and it would be only a matter of final result.I expect not so defensive Slovakia and who knows,maybe Weiss got some silly idea to attack Holland.

Class difference is obvious,just I don't see Holland at 1.40 worth of backing and easily can imagine this game going in the wrong way.A gamble for me.

Bets for tonight will follow.Stay tuned.

Brazil - Chile, Brazil -1ah @ 2.08 (bet365)  3-0 WON 
red card in the game - yes @ 3.00 (bet365)  NO LOST 

Brazil is top favorite to win WC.In group games,only against Ivory Coast they showed a piece of the full potential.Dunga rested Kaka,Robinho and Elano,all 3 will be in the squad tonight.Both teams know each other very well and I'd exclude any tactical surprise.Brazil likes to play against Chile,6 win in a row,5 of those were with 2 or bigger winning margin.In last 5,Brazil scored 21 goals(!),conceded just 3.

Chile looked good in the group games.Despite two 1-0 wins,they play very attacking.Bielsa forces some little weird formation,with 3 players in a defense line.Del Bosque made a stupid decision,left his wingers on the bench and actually adjusted Spain's game to Chile's,which was scandalous in my opinion.Dunga won't be making such favors.Also,Bielsa will be without his 2 key defenders.

Chile is good enough to keep Brazilians fully focused.Can't see any sign of a surprise.Also,Chile's disciplinary record suggests a big possibility it won't ended peacefully.

Monday's World Cup round-up

Netherlands midfielder Giovanni van Bronckhorst feels his side can go on to win the World Cup.
"I do believe we will become world champions," said 35-year-old Van Bronckhorst ahead of his side's last-16 tie with Slovakia in Durban on Monday.
The Dutch topped Group E and were one of only two teams to qualify from the group stages with three wins.

Prince Harry says he watched England's 4-1 defeat by Germany through his fingers.
The 25-year-old royal - who viewed the game in New York, where he took part in a polo match - was understandably disappointed with the result. 
"The defeat was sore, I think the boys played their hearts out," said Harry, who saw England draw 0-0 with Algeria earlier in the tournament in South Africa.

New Zealand - Slovakia, NO BET

.

I'm not sure about this one. New Zealand will park the bus in front the goal and will try to frustrate Slovakians. Best they have is few players from English Championship, main threats will be set pieces.

Slovakia is a kind of mystery for me, but fell they're far below Italy and Paraguay. If they don't score in the first 20 minutes, could have a plenty of problems. Also, game will be played on 1500m above the sea level and will be hard to breath and keep the pace.

I don't like to bet on under, but 2.20 on under 2 looks really tempting. Also, wouldn't exclude a possibility of a draw, 0-0 for example. Will decide later and post it.

Portugal - Ivory Coast, Portugal @ 2.30 (Expekt) 0-0 LOST 

 

Portugal is very good side. Look at their first eleven. Results from qualifications usually are not a good indicator. I predict a good tournament for them and think they can even eliminate Spain in a possible 1/16 match.

Ivory Coast is, in my opinion, most exaggerated selection in SA. Drogba will probably start the game, although he’s far from be fit, since this is a game for 2^nd place in the group. They have Sven Goran Eriksson on the bench and I almost have no doubt they won’t pass the group.

I would like to see better odds (based on IC exaggeration), but 2.30 is totally acceptable.

 

Brazil - DPR Korea, Korea +1ah first half @ 1.925 (bet365) 0-0 ht WON

 

I already wrote my opinion about Brazil. My main favorites for a trophy. Enough.

The truth about Korea is actually nobody knows anything about their potential (which surely isn’t very big). I’ve read in some press, their best player (no way to remember his name) left the country before 5-6 years, came to Serbia and was playing for Bezanija (club who dropped in the second division)! Only sure thing about them is they all would die for the country (maybe a bet on red card could be a nice choice).

It’s first and the easiest game for Brazil and I can’t see a single reason to push to their limits and waste energy. Goals against Korea will hardly be decisive (in case of same points for Br.,Por. and Iv.Coast,goals against Korea would be erased). On the other side, I can see a fanatical fight from Koreans and think they can resist first half.

.

That's it for today. Good luck people, see you tomorrow.
