What a week of football this was, especially the group E had me struggling. I had a small bet on Spain in their match against Japan only to see them lose the match 2-1 with a 83% ball possession. How is that even possible to lose a match like that. Now with hindsight it seems that Spain wanted to get rid of Germany and make sure Japan can get to the next stage. But why didn't Germany just play for a draw before winning to get pressure on Spain to win the match. If Germany had lost than both Japan and Costa Rica would have advanced. With group E I only lost money so far. At least Portugal and Switzerland both advanced to the next match so I could recover my losses. As for today Argentina vs Australia should be a very one sided match. Argentina should take the win home in 90 minutes without problems. As for the Netherlands vs USA match, I do think Netherlands is going to win but I am not sure if there will be overtime or not. And tomorrow France should easily win against Poland. Good way to make some small wins before the quarter finals.
well, many unexpected things have happened in the group stage, especially in Groups E and H. In group H, I was also surprised by the results of the match from Portugal vs South Korea. I really didn't expect that South Korea could win and qualify for the round of 16.
and I think the Netherlands vs USA match will be a little difficult to predict. But for the Argentina vs Australia match, I also think that Argentina should be able to win quite easily. But the Poland vs France match I think will be a bit fierce.
Group E was very bad for my betting. This world cup is happening quite excitingly as of now. Betting is also fun.
Congratulations to South Korea. They were better than expected. Although they have high class players like Heung Min Son, I don't think many people expected a lot from them. Their top 16 game will be very interesting to watch. They are one of the most intriguing teams of this tournament.
