great to see USA win, I love seeing how this country comes together to celebrate a win.
ok tuesday, the start of "Royal Ascot" so I'll be betting the ponies before the serious business starts!!
Belgium Algeria - Belgium probably the most hyped country at the tournament but you cant deny they have a golden generation of players but they have zero experience of playing in a world cup.
Both teams defend very well, they both only conceded 4 in their respective qualifying campaigns.
Algeria failed to score in the last world cup and they will play in a similar way to how Iran played today. They will make it very hard for Belgium to break them down. The best play for me here is the Under which is 6/5, I can see Belgium struggling a little here and playing better as the tournament progresses.
Brazil Mexico - why are Brazil playing their 2nd game before Russia and Korea even play their first? Feckin Fifa.
Brazil were flattered by the 3-1 win over Croatia, they got decisions and will continue to do so as the host but I like EL Tri to give them a test here, again the refs didnt play ball and it could have been 3-0 against Cameroon. Mexico play well in tournaments and I like how Herrera has his team set up, he's getting Dos Santos to excel, which amazes me as he was toilet at Tottenham.
Mexico +1.5 at evens for me.
Russia South Korea - I'm taking a stance on fading Russia in this tournament, like I said in my group preview, hardly any Russian players play outside their domestic league which is a big hindrance in a competition like this. They last played in a world cup in 2002 so only one player has experience at that level while South Korea hve been to every world cup since 1986 and creditable got out of the group last time.
Interestingly, in each of the last 3 world cups, the Koreans won their opening game, I like them to hit the ground running again and catch the russians cold.
S Korea +.5 at evens is the play as is the ML of 7/2 to a smaller stake.
