Of course, the opposing view will be that Junior are down a goal on aggregate so must go for it in the 2nd half, but the biggest mistake about that thinking is that just because a team has to score to advance doesn't mean they will. 

I have learnt this the hard way over many years. 

*correction, Junior have drawn 6 of 6 at home.

Junior have drawn 6 of their last 6 matches in the Copa Lib!!!

That is an incredible run and speaks to their complete lack of cutting edge and ability to control games and ultimately win them.  5 of 6 have ended 1-1 with 1 time ending 0-0 and right now at HT it is 1-1.

Further Colo Colo have drawn 3 of their last 5 Copa Lib games on the road.

Have to go with the draw here, particularly as the game will slow considerably in the 2nd half with Barranquilla, Colombia currently registering oppressive heat conditions at 31 degrees celsius and 71% humidity.

Playing the draw @ 2.25 and the under 3 at 1.91 with a good chance we hit on both and this ends 1-1.

Wow, that was almost it.  Stunning save..

Take a small portion of profit and put it on over 3.5...because why not?

Easy winner.

On over 2.5 now...

Hmmm...taking its sweet time to get to close to evens.  Usually that means the market is thinking what I'm thinking.

Amazing that this game is still just 1-1 and we've only seen 2 goals so far.

Both teams creating lots of chances and with just under 30 minutes left to play worth chasing another once you are getting even money.

Over 2.5 @ 1.91 (in about 5 minutes +)

England to advance on penalties @ 10.00

England are solid defensively and seem to be able to come up with a big goal when they need it.  I think this could go all the way.  England after the confidence they showed in the last round taking penalties will know that if it goes the distance they have a huge advantage with their penalty kick takers.  

Anyone who hasn't seen it should go back and watch Ivan Toney not even look at the ball when he took his penalty.  Incredible.  Might as well have been blindfolded.

This Tim Weah kid needs to seek help.

That's his 4th red card in the last 2 years!  For any player that's a problem, but for a forward that's a liability that no one wants.

Fuk.

What were Peru doing so far up the field?  Forsatti you idiot.

2.18...keep pounding it while it is above 2

Cheers all.

Massive night.

Taking half my profits and sticking them on the 0-0 in the Canada game now that there is a red card.

Dropped 12 pts in a matter of seconds now 2.30

This should be like 1.50.

Incredible value.

55'

Peru have just received a red card.

In this weather and in this situation Peru will milk the clock and play for the 0-0.

Must bet 0-0 @ 2.42

Cashed ticket on 0-0 HT 

Go again...

HT 0-0

Double up on 0-0 FT and under 1.5 in-play.

Slovenia working hard, England creating nothing.  Lovely stuff.

Let's be honest, England have been God awful so far and Southgate is clueless on how to fix this.

Everyone will think, oh they can't continue to be this bad, but everyone said the same about France and they just drew 1-1 with a Poland side that were out of the tournament and frankly dreadful.  Now it's England's time to show us another poor performance...

Under 2.5
CS 0-0
CS HT 0-0
Slovenia +1.5

Cover bet on 1-0 England 

It will get voted down.

Clubs will feel that they'd rather have technology available for getting big decisions right rather than not.  They'll mostly agree it needs improving and will give the PGMOL time to do that.

I think in someways Wolves raising this issue is good because it puts the PGMOL on notice - though they kind of already are.  This season has been a disaster for VAR, but semi automated offsides being introduced will help the amount of delay we see in games - which are largely down to offsides.  I imagine this will be part of the argument for keeping it.

They could also do themselves a favor and restrict involvement to just major errors in the penalty box and leave red card decisions to the referee to get right or wrong.

So again, I don't think they'll can it but I do think we'll get a better version next season - at the very least because of semi automated offsides.
