He lacks pace and mobility which for me are essential in the premiership.

Tbf this isn't the same Costa that's been playing for Atletico, a long hard season and a few injuries catching up with him here I think

On the treble as well, Olly? What odds you get?

I had Belgium, Algeria and the USA at 29/1 but have backed Portugal with a fair chunk so either way I'm in profit

by kingraf Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:18 pm

29/1??? Looks inviting for sure... Took my earlier predos (Belgium, Algeria, Portugal) at 16/1... Wistfully wish I had bet a little more now

by Champagne_Socialist Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:19 pm

usa will get a draw at least

by kingraf Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:24 pm

Ronaldo's haircuts always make me think he has a Nigerian barber...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:26 pm

I really wanted to put Portugal in, but I was feeling outlandish do went for the USA

by kingraf Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:33 pm

Pretty much threw a free $100 bet in the drain yesterday, betting on a 6-0 Argentina win. Left me a little gunshy for today. Only put what amounts to about $50. Still a win would be roughly a third of what I make a month.

by kingraf Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:43 pm

Ronaldo having a good match as the conductor.

by The Special Juan Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:45 pm

Tim Howard there with THE BEST SAVE EVER!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:45 pm

Why does Tim Howard dive really really early???

by The Special Juan Sun 22 Jun 2014, 11:52 pm

For the goal? I thought he fell over.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:13 am

Zusi is just an awful awful player

by NickisBHAFC Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:14 am

WHAT A BLOCK!

Exceptional defending by costa.

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:15 am

One player in a five metre wide goal who can't even use his hands, five yards out and you find his knee? miss of the tournament.

WHAT A GOAL

by Lowlandbrit Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:22 am

Field Goal!

He's been pretty rubbish so far, but that's a great goal.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:26 am

Real conflicting emotions for me
I want the money but I wanna be right

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:30 am

I just want the money - I mean I've only bet twice in this WC, can't lose both.

by The Special Juan Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:31 am

Money > being right, Olly.

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:33 am

Neither of us getting anything at this rate Olly - wouldn't you rather have me $850 richer, and you right?

by Lowlandbrit Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:35 am

For two decent sides, they've both got some really awful players. The fact that America's midfield has lasted this long says a lot about their bench.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:39 am

OH MY

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:39 am

I'm in tears!!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:40 am

Dempsey just has that instinct.

by The Special Juan Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:40 am

Dempsey thrusts that one in Laugh

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:40 am

29/1!!!

Frak you Olly!

Damned Filter - fu.ck you Olly

by The Special Juan Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:44 am

Ingerland could do with a better manager. How about, oh I don't know, the USA one? devil

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:45 am

Oh God I can't take this

Been watching Nani out there throwing in crap all night. Ronaldo goes there once and that ball is sublime

by NickisBHAFC Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:54 am

That cross by Ronaldo though!

by The Special Juan Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:54 am

Something tells me whatever device Olly uses to get onto the internet is in many, many pieces.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:55 am

Hold me

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 12:57 am

Yes!! That's what we do.... Unlucky Olly!

I'm off lads see you all in two weeks, hopefully my 8/1 on Argentina, and 9/2 on Nadal come to fruition...

Germany are (almost) certainly going to beat the States, but Portugal/Ghana is a toss up... It's a lively old group

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 1:00 am

I can't even find it in me to get mad

Oh wait

KEEP THE BALL YOU GODDAMN STUPID AMERICANS HOW HARD IS IT

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 1:01 am

You silly mug, cover the damn bet! I'm so angry at you for not covering that

by kingraf Mon 23 Jun 2014, 1:02 am

Im sorry Chris, I really thought about it, just seemed so unlikely 90 seconds out. Would probably have got stupid odds as well. Don't think I would have had enough time to enter my bet and pin number.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Jun 2014, 1:04 am

I put a draw/Portugal bet on pre game so had no monies in my account left Sad

by Champagne_Socialist Mon 23 Jun 2014, 1:05 am

best thing for the usa is that portugal beat Ghana (excluding a draw of course) because ortugal's goal difference is 5 worse than the USA and if it comes down to GD the USA should go through unless they conceed 5 goals to the USA
