The bookies continue to laugh all the way to the bank at the World Cup after another day of surprise results
Defeat for Spain and elimation for Germany would've been disasterous results for punters yesterday in an already unpredictable tournament. Add in Morocco taking top spot in Group F and this was like Black Thursday, nevermind Black Friday.
Friday presents a few more conundrums for punters. Brazil and Portugal have already qualified but we've seen France and Spain beaten in recent days as well as Germany and Argentina earlier in the tournament so nothing can be taken for granted.
Brazil made heavy weather of their win over Switzerland but should be comfortable enough against a disjointed Cameroon squad.
Portugal could find things a bit more difficult if they're not fully focused. South Korea came us short against Ghana but showed enough to suggest they're competitive and in Cho Gue-sung look to have a goal threat.
The one to watch on Friday will be Ghana‘s clash with Uruguay where the Black Stars will be on a revenge mission. Luis Suarez was the villain of the piece when they last met at the World Cup when his last-ditch hand ball saved a certain goal, only for Ghana to miss the crucial penalty.
Ghana and Uruguay will face each other on Friday with a place in the World Cup last 16 on the line 🍿

It could be a fiesty affair so FIFA have appointed German teacher Daniel Siebert to keep a lid on things. He's generally a low-profile referee in the Bundesliga but has some big numbers in European and international matches. Chelsea fans may remember him from their match recent tie with AC Milan where he brandished one red and nine yellows.
Matches have been refereed pretty leniently and players have been fairly well-behaved so far but if any match has the potential to boil over it's this one. Uruguay are traditionally no shrinking violets and happy to go toe-to-toe with anyone.
Over 4.5 at 5/6 feels a bit stingy so look for Uruguay to pick up two or more cards at 4/6. Add in at least one Ghana card to make it 4.5.
The winner of Switzerland v Serbia will progress to the last 16 (assuming Cameroon don't beat Brazil). The Swiss just need a draw, but the Serbs' mission is clearer – only a win will do.
Neither side have overly impressed to date. Serbia thought they had things wrapped up when they went 3-1 up over Cameroon but surrendered their two-goal lead. There was enough in that performance however to suggest they're capable of overcoming the Swiss.
The bookies can barely separate them going 13/8 Serbia and 7/4 Switzerland so it's a toss of coin as far as they're concerned. Serbia's greater goal threat could make the difference, they just look like they've better options going forward and more cutting edge.

LOSER
Can anyone advise me as to what I might be misunderstanding about these markets.
I was looking at halftime draws in the 4 matches today. As early goals have been rarer than usual, I thought of doing 0-0 correct score to increase the price a little. On Coral for the 4 matches 0-0 prices are 31/20, 33/20, 2/1 and 17/10. However if you take ‘Which half will produce the first goal’ and choose the second half, the prices are 9/4, 12/5, 13/5 and 12/5.
Am I wrong in thinking this is the same as choosing a 0-0 halftime score?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Yeah same thing.. sometimes bookies get their pricing slightly wrong, so good spot!
Hi Davc
No because if one of the games doesn’t have a goal in the 2nd half then that’s your bet down
Sh!te.. my bad, good man Nathan

Good luck today.
With the Knockout stages starting Tomorrow i’m going be on some outsiders.
Holland v USA
USA double chance at 4/5
USA have applied themselves well so far and look like they have energy to burn,Holland have been the opposite whilst still winning games,i think USA can get something here,they played England and stifled them in which they created absolutely nothing.USA will more than likely deploy the same tactics and if they do it’ll be tough going for the Dutch.
England v Senegal
Senegal Double chance at 11/8
England start the game as obvious favourites but we shouldn’t underestimate Senegal here,they will be pumped up for this game no doubts there.Harry Maguire is always a worry and the likes of Sterling could get bullied.It wouldn’t surprise me to see this go all the way.
Japan v Croatia
Japan double chance at 8/11
I think Japan’s energy football could cause Croatia no end of problems here,Croatia aren’t a bad side but they don’t play high intensity football,i would expect Croatia to be defending a lot in this game in which again could go all the way.
Japan to win at 3/1
USA to win at 10/3
Senegal to win at 7/1
Others might think different just my bets on the games.
Best of luck
Sterling wont be playing surely ? As for MacGuire better in an England shirt than UTD . Solid in the air.
Definitely think we’ll struggle against Senegal..
Of course. Cheers Nathanfrew, I knew there was something, I just couldn’t see it. No point being thick if I can’t show it.

William Hill special tonight was: Brazil to beat Cameroon: was 1.2 now EVENS (Max £10)
Yet Cameroon (with 10 men) beat Brazil 1:0!
Given all these “strange” results, you’d almost think there was a bit of money changing hands behind the scenes😉
Highly doubt it the game was a dead rubber and the red card came after the goalscorer took his shirt off late on.Brazil made changes and played 40 year old Dani Alves at the back.
