@Sithara007 I too was baffled to read when he chose to put Italy for a contender, and either he believed the rumours or he hasn’t been updated with who qualified for the World Cup. Lastly I feel that you’re right because these two teams are no longer considered dangerous like they were in the past, hence we should consider wagering on them only if odds are good and if they show decent form in their previous matches.
I already asked to op in this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5392720.msg60806588#msg60806588 to update the squads of the poll and put the favorites to win.
I believe soon or later he'll update, he's active in here, or I'll try to reach him by PM
The user above saw the first post and probably forgot about Italy

@EarnOnVictor - if you enter on a thread with a lot of pages, it's better to read the last ones too, you'll be updated about the subject
