Greece v Argentina

Headshot

i just cant keep away

why is argentina odds on -2 @ 9/2 so high

greece are awful and they need to win so they have to come out and attack and argentina can just bury them on the counter attack

am i missing something

Maybe the fact that argentina have already qualified for the second round...? I personally would still fancy them to win but not by more than 2

Big odds alright.

A draw means the Argies win the group though so they might not go full tilt and the Greeks need to win although a draw may be enough for them.

Not sure how I'll bet on this one tbh.

El Horseboxo

I'm thinking of AH -1. 2.10 odds on PP. If Argentina only win by a goal you get your money back.

Greece are horrible and only managed to beat Nigeria because your man got sent off. The South Korea game is on at the same time so they won't know their result going into it. So playing for a draw isn't really an option which means they'll try attack and that should leave a lot of gaps at the back. And even if Argentina rest a few players i just think they'll have too much class going forward and should win by at least a goal. Hopefully 2 so they cover the handicap.

Argentina FTW but not by more than 1

matt1958

I'd wait for in play betting too see if anything is missing.. On eurosport Mardonna has said Messi will be starting with Milito and Aguero.. But its their defence that has me worried their first choice aint that great so what will the back-up one be like:eek:..

Headshot

this is the supposed line up

Sergio Romero - Nicolas Otamendi, Martin Demichelis, Nicolas Burdisso, Clemente Rodriguez - Juan Sebastian Veron, Mario Bolatti, Maxi Rodriguez - Lionel Messi, Diego Milito, Sergio Aguero

pretty strong stuff there

im thinking of messi to score 2 or more, poor fella has been argentina's best player but just cant get the goals his displays deserve

im not worried about Greece really. they are brutal up front and even thou argentina are dodgy in the back, they'll just blow the greece defence away

plus messi is captain for the day

matt1958

I've not heard of three players from the probable line-up two of them are defenders RB and LB??? I think you'll need Argentina too score four goals too be sure of the -2 coming in they'll concede a goal.. I think the odds are too hard too pass up goodluck with it.. I'll be just going with a win @ 1.57:D..

Strange that Di Maria isnt on that team, maybe he has a booking picked up like Tevez though.

He's not been booked at all. He's been poor so far IMHO, very poor surprisingly.

Kod-box

He was alright in the last game i thought, made some good runs and Maradona loves him so im surprised he's not included if thats the proper team.

I can say this anyway, Burdisso is an excellent CB, far better than that clown Demichelis. Hard to believe Nigeria can win by 1 and go through if Greece lose by any amount. I'll be steering clear of tomorrows games. Too many possibilities for my liking. A few speculative little bets on long shots is what I'll do. As far as short odds are concerned, I'd go with over 2.5 goals in Arg v Gre but I can't combine it with anything else I like to make a solid looking treble. 9/2 on Milito scoring 2 or more looks an OK price if he starts. As the focal point of Argentina's attack/Messi's assists and most importantly the fact he's a class finisher he could bang in a couple no problem.

El Horseboxo

Stuck 20 on the -2 handicap @ 5.50.
20 on the AH -1 @ 2.10.
5 on Milito first scorer and Argentina win 4-1 @ 67.00

El_Zigi

Nothing but speculative little bets today for me.

Speculative bet no.1

Double

1 euro on Mexico ht/Uruguay ft (45/1) and S Korea ht/Nigeria ft (35/1)

Odds = 1655/1

no.2

1 euro on Mexico ht/Uruguay ft (45/1) and Nigeria ht/ S Korea ft (25/1)

Odds = 1195/1

I can't lose. :rolleyes:

Warper

Di Maria is obviously being rested - he is an integral part of this Argie side and is a first-choice starter as is Higuain now. Argentina should win but winning by 3 or more goals, probably not. 3-1 Argie.

matt1958

I'm looking at this double odds 3.00

Argentina AH -1 @ 2.00
Germany @ 1.50

I can see Argentina's "second" string winning by more than one goal no bother especially with Messi, Aguero and Milito in attack and Germany along with Argentina been the most impressive attacking teams in the world cup so far. Germany even with 10 men against a strong Serbia defence they should of won the game if not at the least got a point out of it it was just one those "great":D football days.. I was thinking of just going with straight wins but from the reading ive done i think the AH in Argentina match is worth the punt.

Gillington

Argentina -1 AH has gone down to 2.00 on PP, gone for it anyways.

Went for argentina to win to nil at 7/5.

Took me ten minutes to explain to your one behind the counter that the bet wasn't argentina to win 2-0.

Maybe Greece could nick it. Samoras looks to me like he's on e. Really!

El Horseboxo

Need an Argentina goal in this to open up the game. Their best option looks like a corner at the moment. I hate these defensive games. Ruins otherwise potentially entertaining games.

Why didn't i take my own advice ffs:mad:.. I'm never doing a football bet more then €30 anytime i go over that i always feckin lose.. Still when they cant go through they will sit back and defend

Nuri Sahin

I think I'll be down to my last 50 after this. Do not believe Milito will score.

Seriously though, fair play to anyone who is positive for this tourney. Been an absolute shocker for me.

matt1958

PLZ get one more..

El Horseboxo

Come on one more goal Argentina and i'll walk away from today even. Only reason i'm in the plus figures since this WC began is thanks to 2 big GAA wins inbetween.

Nuri Sahin

**** off Milito

You can't blame Milito.. The midfield couldnt supply the ammo for him..

Yeah I know. Just venting out.

Went big on single bets for Fabiano, Forlan, RVP and Villa to score in the first round.. has proved costly. Betting on scraps ever since then. Milito was the first big bet(for me anyway) I have made since then.

.. and now Palermo comes on to score to rub salt in the wounds :pac:

Everybody seems to be winning except for me *sigh*

matt1958

Ah wait forgot i did the AH:p..

doesnt matter now thank you Argentina hold on now..i never thought it would be that close too the wire for that too come in.. fcuk me
