Medel will not play (he is suspended, and he is by far Chilean's best player this WC, probably the best defender of any team)Allan Holdsworth said:

Is anyone here placing bets on the cup?

I usually make a few bets each game generally multi's over the 2 games of the day. Yesterday i made 3 bets both teams to score in both games put down 1, was paying around $5. Also had Germany first goal and Argentina first goal at $3 put 2 on that and Germany first goal and Mexico first goal paying $8 had 2 on that
I honestly think Chile can cause an upset tonight Brazil hasn't been playing that well think i will put a little something on that

I predict 2 missed offsides and 1 knocked out referee.
Holland - Slovakia 2-2 (Slovakia a.p.)
Brazil - Chile 2-1
Holland - Slovakia 2-2 (Slovakia a.p.)
Brazil - Chile 2-1

I've got 20 riding on holland to win in normal time. It's only paying about 1.40 though.
I'm letting all my winnings so far ride on the favourites, if the dutch game comes off I'll put those winnings on brazil to win in normal time as well. They don't pay loads, but I don't think in the matches tonight that an upset will happen in either case.
Can't even begin to guess for the next rounds though.
Germany/Argentina and Netherlands/Brazil is going to be like the same game, played twice.

Netherlands will pull through against Slovakia, their backs are shite and no good against wingers. But vMarwijk will probably go with the regular suspects so no wingers, just two semi-wingers that pull to the inside. By halftime he'll see the error in his way and Robben and Elia will enter the pitch and destroy Slovakia together.
I didn't expect any upsets yesterday, and I don't expect any today. Netherlands and Brazil are just on a different level from the competition. Tomorrow's games should be interesting though. There's a tiny outside chance that Japan might be able to hold their own against Paraguay (probably not), but Spain vs Portugal will be a fight to the DEATH. :lol
Can't wait.
Can't wait.

Danielsan said:Haha yes! Man those two games will be magnificent.
Really hope we don't choke today so that those matches are a lock.
I hope to GOD that both the euro teams can beat the Latin americans so my dream of a holland german final can be realised.
If NL can somehow pull a victory over Brazil, they will get an easier route to the final. The winner of Ger/Arg has to take on the winner of esp/por (most likely)
also, it's time for the results predicting octopus!

that's quite a thing to say.... I haven't seen him play enough to argue, but I'd like you to be right for this tournament at least!
I wish I could trust Brazil like our opponents do.
This is going to be North Korea all over.

BTW, I did cried a bit on a news segment that told that the flag the chilean team uses is one found (in bad shape, but whole) in the aftermath of the earthquake.
I hope it is a friendly game, I really like your country, hope I can visit it soon.
E copa que vem quero ver vocês jogando aqui!

EDIT: About a possible Brazil vs Holland, as someone was saying, I remember it from 94. That was hard.

I think Slovakia has a decent chance actually. Should be a good match.

Completely agree, but the matches today will probably still be really entertaining. For Portugal vs. Spain I expect a diving competition not a football match.
Yeah but that is because Slovakia isnt good! If we played this game a year ago and we called it a friendly, they did it do boost their spirits with a 6-0 win or something. I don't see any any any chance that we are losing today. If so, delete my account plz.Suitcase Test said:

well he didn't break this year for like 8 months and I'd reckon he was the best player in Europe after Messi this season
Rooney could have been more important but he did break and they lost to Bayern (and Chelsea) ((and he was non-existant this World Cup))
Robben scored important winners and assists in their competition matches, scored goals against Fiorentina and Man Utd that helped them through the Champions League, singlehandedly scored a winner in the German Cup semi-final against Schalke starting from his own penalty area ... for 25 million he delivered them a multitude of that in prize money

I can't laugh when reading the headline below. What a cute child and such a terrible incident
I don't expect any surprises for todays matches - NL vs SLK 2-0; BRZ vs CHI 3-1.
People said the same thing when we faced Russia two years ago.bad-joey said:Second that. If we (Holland) lose today mods can permaban me; I'm confident that we will win.
There is absolutely no chance that we are losing to Slovakia. Mark my words!
I'm so excited right now, just a few hours left
And we were killing it in the prior matches that championship.
This year we're playing like shit. So you might want to tone down your excitement a little bit.
we should win it as long as we don't play like Italy
Italy would have conceded against Denmark and Japan as well with that kind of defending, so I'm somewhat confident
when Italy really started to push in the last 20 mins Slovakia looked somewhat tired as well, so we should be able to beat them on fitness
only thing I'm really worried about is the referee .....
