World Cup Betting Friday June 17th
It’s too easy to make a comment regarding how the whole of Ireland (plus Karim Benzema) must be thrilled to see France bow out of the World Cup in such lack luster fashion. I did like reading the comment where someone said Paddy McBlanco scored for Ireland on Mexico’s second goal.
Another thing that’s easy to do is call Raymond Domenech just about the dumbish coach of an elite team, which he is. The thing is he exposed himself as that in Euro 2008 and during the lead up to the World Cup. He should of been fired the day after France sneaked their way into the World Cup. It’s clear as day to see those players hate playing for him.
Personally I’d rather have seen France win this game as I have a lot of prop bets on this group. Hopefully Mexico-Uruguay play for the ever friendly tie so both can advance, this would also cash my Uruguay over 4 points prop. It does effect my USA to go further than Mexico prop. The wildcard here is the France-South Africa game. Do the french throw a pity party and South Africa wins to lose my under 3.5 points prop? Even without that thinking I’m liking South Africa in that game.
Happy with the 2-0-1 day even if my South Korea under 2.5 goals prop for the World Cup lost. It did go out as a hero with South Korea’s goal pushed the first game over.
On to Friday
Germany – Serbia over 2 and 2.5 -109
Germany are the most impressive team so far in the World Cup and it’s not in their nature to let up. Serbia on the other hand could cause Germany problems with their size but I’m going on a little run with the over’s here. Germany wants to control it’s group and Serbia need a Greece like fight back to get back into this World Cup.
USA pk and -0.5 -118 vs Slovenia
Truthfully I don’t feel great about it. As you know I also hate pk and -0.5 lines. I liked the States in this group going into the World Cup so it would be foolish to change my mind now.
England -1.5 104 vs Algeria
I love seeing England fall on thier face as much as the next guy but have a feeling Algeria will be thrown to the wolves here. Fabio Capello made the wrong decisions to start Ledley one knee King and Robert Green in the first game but he is still a World Class coach. Hopefully this will be the game Wayne Rooney breaks out.
