    Brazil will be finalists.

    If Germany beat Argentina, they will also be finalists.

    If they lose to Germany, Spain will be finalists.

    So, Brazil will play either Spain, who they will beat, or Germany who they won't.

    No - Spain will be beaten before the Final

    Germany FTW!

    I was supporting Argentina but have €20 on Germany. I reckon they can do it.

    If the 2 best teams so far continue to perform, it'll be a Spain/Argentina Final and I'll go for Spain to pip them.

    A Spain vs Argentina final isn't possible due to the set-up of the draw. If they do play each other, it will be in the semi-final.

    I put a small bet on Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Uruguay to win in normal time.

    Bit stupid now that I think of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    I would not be surprised if Uruguay made it to the final

    Yeah cause they'll knock out Brazil or Holland, thats IF they beat Ghana:P

    No worries!

    Semi final 1. The winners of Uruguay vs Ghana play the winners of Brazil V Neth

    Semi final 2. The winners of Spain vs Paraguay play the winners of Arg v Germany

    Wonder what the odds are for a Paraguay Vs Ghana Final!

    It could happen. Not a bad bet if the odds were good (and the stake was low!).

    100/1 on Paddy Powers.

    €133.20 back for a tenner, not great.

    name a goal scorer for each match as well and your laughing, had a look earlier, select the top scorer for each of those nations, something like 130/1 in an accum, havn't placed it yet, still looking at the markets


    a safer bet might be for them to just qualify for the semi finals, a tenner on the above four will give you 40 back from PP in an accum

    ;)

    Not a bad little bet for the interest... might have a go at this myself.

    Thinking Robinho, Suarez, Higuain and David Villa.

    I'm on Brazil / Brazil @ 11/4.

    During the last Brazil game, the babes in the Woolshed were amazing.

    Not a bra amongst them :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,559 ✭✭✭naughto


    i dont no who ta bet on here its to close to call

    went with holland and v persi ta score any time double


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,626 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    No Dunphy today.. this is an outrage!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Oooh.. Elano & Ramirez are out for the game. I still think Brazil will win though - Holland's back four aren't the best - especially Van Bronkhurst who is useless. If Maicon can get at him down the wing, they'll destroy them.

    Holland still have Robben & Schneider in the middle though, so Brazil will have to be on top form at closing them down.

    Hopefully there'll be an early goal to open the game up - otherwise it could be a cagey snoozefest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭AskMyChocolate


    Go on the Dutch.

    *cracks open can of Bavaria*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete
