World Cup Previews

I thought it would be worth having a separate thread for people to post up World Cup previews that they've read and can recommend.

The Racing Post one should be worth a read, there is usually a broad range of views in their previews.

A Wetherby's Group A preview is available at http://www.bettrends.co.uk

In 2010, some of the major investment banks released previews on their websites, anyone seen anything similar this time round?

Some decent (non-gambling related) stuff here

Anyone know of a list of the penalty and free takers for each team? Would be handy for goalscorer bets

Claretarmy (the Chelmsford fan site) are doing a sweepstake online, spotted it yesterday and it's only €2 or something. Might be good for a bit of interest.

Anyone buy the Racingpost preview book ?

Also anyone know when the RP WC pullout is due??

Bateman · 26-05-2014 1:36pm

The pullout is around the 5th June or so. I've a copy of the book put aside for me, will post up details when I get to have a look at it.

Warper · 26-05-2014 3:02pm

I thought about getting the book but tbh any info in it is likely to be found on the web. I will defo buy the RP with the pullout as the final squads will be known then

Yeah I got one free, wouldn't be inclined to pay for one

Howya lads.

Questions popped into my head today.

With this being the 'golden generation' of Belgian football and them being everyones dark horse. What do ye think would be a successful World Cup campaign? Semis?

Anyone know any site with a predictor app on it? Castrol Oil had one for last Euros and World Cup but don't seem to have one this time around. Something that collates a bunch of stats and spits out prediction and scoreline for each match.

Have a competition in work to predict correct score in al first round games and eventual knock out winners. Been sitting in my inbox for couple of weeks and had a go today but decided I'm either too ****ing lazy or don't have time to try to predict a score for every game

That'll do me...thanks

RP WC pullout is 5th June

Bit late but the FT Weekend magazine for the weekend just gone is well worth picking up. Read some decent features so far including interviews with Del Bosque and Pirlo, and a feature on penalty shootouts.

The ZonalMarking previews, which I consider to be the most important previews, have started.

Bateman · 09-06-2014 11:19pm

Just read Zonal Marking on Uruguay, seems a bit down on them. I am between them and Portugal for my second outright bet behind Spain.

World Soccer Collector's Edition is v good. Got it today. €6.50. The only thing is that it went to press before the finalized 23 man squads were announced.
