    Wonder will they even use all of them again, that one in the Amazon Basin where the English played their first game probably wont be used again too much after this is over.

    Allot of them are being taken over by teams in the Brazilian League, plus there is also the Olympics in two years. Will probably use some for the soccer competition.

    True, but a few are going to be total white elephants.

    Some of the post WC occupants play in front of only a few thousand fans a week.

    I guess it's just easier to relocate thousands of people to build a stadium than it is to build a stadium that can be relocated

    The lads in Quatar had plans to design stadiums so that they could be taken apart and used like giant lego blocks to build a stadium whereever one was needed temporarilly. Sounded like a great idea when I heard it but they'll probably be used as mass graves at the rate they're going.

    Loving this world cup so bad. Not just the high percentage of decent games and goals but for the high percentage of serious underdog calibre.

    This game is kind of like dessert after the Germany / Ghana match. Most people have left the restaurant already, but here we all still are stuffing our faces, even though we are full.

    He's a hungry young fighter. In fact, he's fighting for a sandwich.

    Bosnia are unrecognisable from their first match v Argentina. Dzeko in particular looks awful.

    This might be a stupid question but how would you go about winning the most money in today's games by placing a bet?

    What do you write on the betting slip?

    Say if I go with Argentina, Germany and Bosnia to win. Do I just write down 'accumulator' or what to have the winnings from the first game placed on the second game and so on? :o

    For future reference just write 'accumulator' at the end of the docket. I'd say the turf accountants made a mint with yesterday's results mind
