Curious to see what bets you guys have placed and will place. It can come as no surprise that I've bet on Denmark to win the tournament. I'm also considering just putting a little bet on Skov Olsen to be the top goalscorer of the tournament @Stubbe-Unibet being the company man that he is, of course tries to do anything he can to direct the money streams to potential losers. Lindström was the only respectable player I knew from Denmark... But more time for the Danish FA to ponder whether or not to leave Fifa. Hopefully, Japan upsets Spain tomorrow and we'll be next... 1 We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity, and a big change needed or France will fancy a walkover to the quarters. Agree. Poland is through, but what a looser mentality. Disgusting result for football.

GR1ZZL3R Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Well done to Japan, a team actually showing some fighting spirit and togetherness, but... why can't Fifa show conclusive proof that the ball wasn't out. Fifty six years ago Germany lost to a controversial "was it over the line or not?" decision, same situation today despite massive increases in the number of cameras and technology, oh dear, never mind.

pinki Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) @WuDuDidn't anyone watch the spain-japan match from the staff? Spain was clearly playing for 2nd place. I was surprised that the staff didn't have a plan to lose to Costa Rica one way or another. No one would have a grudge against the Germans, certainly not me From the 2:1 score for Japan, you could play for time, cramps and have a 10-minute longer match than the Spain-Japan. Give Costa Rica up to 3 goals if ... weird very weird. Edited December 1, 2022 by pinki 1 "Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises."

Rushbie Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hell, if there were some public betting resultwarnings in the Finnish mediasite about Spain tactically losing the game deliberately, there surely must've been similar on other countries too May it be done on purpose or not, Spain sure made the fail look like genuine and authentic, despite the little help of VAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I read on the transfermarkt forums that some users also were suggesting scoring 3 own goals once Japan-Spain was over to get back at Spain. 50 minutes ago, Rushbie said: Hell, if there were some public betting resultwarnings in the Finnish mediasite about Spain tactically losing the game deliberately, there surely must've been similar on other countries too May it be done on purpose or not, Spain sure made the fail look like genuine and authentic, despite the little help of VAR Don't forget, Spain was out of the tournament for a brief period of time once Costa Rica scored the 2-1. The 2-2 came a little too fast, so I'm not sure that was done on purpose by Spain. However how they completely refused to attack the Japanese defense and passed from left to right and vice versa in the Japanese half is totally beyond me. In the end, it doesn't matter: Another One Love team is out, the German FA completely embarrassed itself and all the BVB players are now getting one month of vacation!

On the other hand, many of Spain's passes and desicions were bit fishy looking. But nothing away from Japan, they won both favs and defending looked very tight in the end, not match room between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinki Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @LivertoolI'm not saying they let Japan score two goals, but once they did, their game looked... at 2-1 to Costa Rica, I guarantee you another goal for Spain to the end.

But one thing is for certain that players were aware what was going on in other match and Spain knew that unless Germany wins with min 6 goals Spain will go through in 2nd position which was better than winning the group.

jerry Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 My take Germans were very unlucky. They dont set the world on fire but the play was perfectly adequate to make at least quarters. Japan winning with Spain with 17% posession? I call it mighty unlucky. Germany Japan was just weird weird game. Total control in first half with 3/4 clear chances and then sudden collapse after Gundogan left the pitch. He even didnt had very good game and his sub Goretzka didnt play bad its just the midfield after that sub stopped pressing/controlling the game. Spain game Germany were clearly better team but didnt have striker to close the chances. When he was subbed on we had equalizer. Hindsight is germans should push a lot harder for the win and they were happy with draw. Playing Muller/Havertz was mistake but other than that i thought they could go far. They would go past Croatia and then Brazil and we know what Brazil thinks about Germany Unlucky... the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1ZZL3R Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 And so the group stages finish with yet another team not needing to win to progress in fact not winning and progressing, a common theme lately. Which leaves us with 16 teams and a tourney wide open for the taking. The first 4 favourites all have some positives but all some negatives, including that they each lost a group game, not all of them vital but some could have been costly, not the sort of confidence building message that should be sent out. With all the shocks so far maybe a case could be made for any of the teams left to spring a surprise. Really? Australia? USA? Well maybe not but others certainly. Anyway we're down to the knockout stages, so I'm expecting a lot more defending, hitting on the break, hanging on for the draw and hoping for that touch of luck that a one off match can provide. The more I look at it the more I see the winner coming from the first 5 in the betting, including England who shouldn't really be scared of anyone. Maybe that is my natural chauvinistic jingoism seeping through, as it applies to all the teams left, there simply doesn't look like a stand out favourite. I asked a few well known figures for their opinions and... My final choice.... ... well what else did you expect? 1 1 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."
