Why not watch on Canvas, channel 26 if you have Ziggo. In Flamish and decent reporting.

I used to watch on Canvas, but they have been taking pages from our commentators books. They're giving more and more useless facts the further we get into the tournament, where they used to just talk about the game.
Still better than NOS, but that's hardly an accomplishment.

Uruguay - Italy is going to be the best game of the group stage I'm sure. I'm expecting goals, blood, red cards, multiple shots of hot chicks and at least half an ear bitten off.

0-0. classic italian masterclass defense. maybe a late winner from italy.

 

[Godan]

As an Arsenal fan and being from scotland I think i will put £10 on Joel Campbell to score and Costa Rica to win. Should be not too bad odds for that.

 

[Aiii]

Guess this was shot during their 1 minute break from whistling.

Sporza my friend, Sporza

Awesome thanks. You know i totally forgot about Sporza.

 

[Xater]

Ist das bwin?

If so, I'm gonna put 10 on Costa Rica, WOooo!

It is.

Sucks that they no longer hand out free money for Bwin. I remember getting 5€ for the 2006 WC and making 50€ by always going all in on sure bets.

 

[WriterGK]

Costa Rica don't really need to win. If anything Italy-Uruguay will probably be a draw. But I hope Uruguay beat Italy.

They still give freebets (keep the profits). I lost mine on Spain, go me.

Aren't you just dying to hear about how some benched player has a uncle who runs snack stand of fried food who does relatively well? Well? Aren't you? Just DYING?

 

[Fireblend]

Guys, as a Costa Rican, please stop being confident they'll win. In my experience as a long time Costa Rica supporter, rooting for our team makes it perform horribly.

Spoiler

It feels so weird having non CR people betting (figuratively or literally) that our team will beat England - how the tables have turned :lol

 

[Skyr]

Like I said I am not a betting man but this looks tempting. Can't believe England is such a favorite.

I just placed 2 combi bets on:

I'm reading that CR will be starting with several reserve players also

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

I just have to say, all the CAF naysayers can suck it.

4 out of the 5 African nations in this WC have at least a decent chance to advance to the second round entering their third game. Percentage-wise, even though they had a rocky start and they're now doing almost as well as South America and Concacaf.

If anything, Asia has been the real stinker of this WC. Out of their 4 teams, probably none of them are going to advance.

Indeed, though lets be cautious yet, Africa always finds a way to disappoint. Nigeria could still lose against Argentina (coupled with an Iranian win Nigeria is going home), Ivory Coast can still lose to Greece and go home (Being the master chokers of Africa it might well happen), Algeria still needs to win or draw against Russia. And Ghana......well we know their situation.

 

[KxoZz]

now that it doesn't make much difference, England will be brilliant against CRC and beat them 5-0

 

[Brazil]

Uruguay's time to shine has come. It shall be glorious.

 

[WriterGK]

Yeah why not. They are already through to the next round and a big chance they end up in first.

 

[Xater]

I don't want to responsible for you guys losing money. I just thought it was interesting. Don't blame me later on if it doesn't work out!

Think i'm changing to 1-2 England then.

CONCACAF has been hyped, now it's time to deliver.
I've got money on Costa Rica winning and Ruiz scoring first.
But hey, no pressure.

 

[Rikkun]

Any chance you're losing 0-6 so that we can end up first with a last second goal on Uruguay? Pretty please?

 

[Xater]

Oh no!

Haven't they learned that fielding a B team is a sureway to doom yourself in the knockout round?

CR is already qualified tho

 

[Kurtofan]

Whatever happens, hopefully Greece doesn't qualify.

He does seem to be a fairly athletic pres. Certainly couldn't hurt : D

 

[Hystzen]

Watching Italy vs Uruguay

Fuck watching England win a match against a b team Costa Rica. It going be hilarious winning match with Rooney not playing

Spoiler

yes im confident we will beat Costa Rica which will then trigger media to shout why could not bother playing in other matches

 

[alterno69]

Good luck to my fellow americans today, go Costa Rica and Uruguay.

[IHaveIce]

Wtf, they have kind of an easy route IMO

 

[Rikkun]

You're the worst.

 

[Fireblend]

Wtf, they have kind of an easy route IMO

They'd have to beat all of the CONCACAF teams first though. Mexico in RO16, Costa Rica in RO8 and US in semifinals... not a chance.

 

[Maninthemirror]

They will lose to mexico.

 

[confuziz]

They will lose to mexico.

Based on what exactly?

 

[aronnov reborn]

awesome stat this morning from ESPN to make me feel better about the USA's chances....

After playing in the rain forest city of Manaus this World Cup teams are 0-4 with a goal differential of -7 in their next game....

We're screwed.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Based Ochoa

 

[NaM]

See you in semis Holland.

 

[BlindRage]

Even if they make it to face USA their run ends there
