WELL done to Republic of Ireland for making the World Cup play-offs and commiserations to Wales for missing out. We know how you feel.
In what was always going to be a tight match I didn't expect Wales to lose but ultimately they missed the spark Gareth Bale often provides. It wasn't Ireland's best display but all that matters if they got over the finishing line.
Serbia and Iceland picked up expected wins to top their groups but Ukraine and Andriy Yarmolenko let me down as they crashed out by losing at home to Croatia who head for the play-offs.
Don't know about anyone else but I'm getting pretty sick of the internationals and crave a return to normal league action. Maybe not Greg though who landed his double.
We have one final round of qualifiers with Portugal v Switzerland the game that matters most. Victory will send the Portuguese to Russia and you have to fancy Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the target.
France should seal top spot in Group A by beating Belarus at home while Sweden, guaranteed a play-off, will be seeded alongside Italy, Denmark and Croatia if they avoid defeat away to Holland.
Belgium have won Group H at a canter and Greece will take second spot and a play-off ahead of Bosnia when they beat Gibraltar at home.
Slovakia ended up worst of the nine runners-up as they finished level with Scotland on 12 points in Group F after taking six away for beating Malta twice. Scotland would have made it on 14 if they'd beaten Slovenia on Sunday.
Later it's the final round of the South American qualifiers with Argentina needing to better Peru's result to finish at least with a play-off against New Zealand. Argentina are at altitude against Ecuador while Peru entertain Colombia who are just one point ahead of them alongside Chile.
It promises to be an exciting night and I'll take a closer look at those games later. I've posted a preview of the European games and have now added a treble.
However, for starters I'm taking Lionel Messi to score first at 13-5 with McBookie. He missed some great chances in last week's 0-0 draw against Peru and hit the post but as they say cometh the hour cometh the man.
Russia will already be without Morrison but it can't go ahead with Messi can it? Argentina have a poor record in Quito which is nearly 10,000ft above sea level but they can't qualify and have lost their last five games.

No, they’ve already missed out regardless
Doesn’t matter if Greece win – the points against Gibraltar don’t count for a play-off spot.

nothing to get away with… couldn’t be asked to type up and seemed the safest bet. is there a problem with sharing winners? regardless of the source.
As long as it wins who gives a f**k where it comes from! Nice tip and it wins mate so all good
@phillis someone has taken the time and effort to write the preview for the game,so basically copying s fraud of your not going to state where or who wrote it.
Cheers @phillis i wasn’t trying to make it my own tip, if i wanted to that i could have been easily done so. It was to get the tip out people. i am new to the site but bet daily so i don’t the in’s and out’s on this site and in the future the source will be mentioned but regardless of individuals in admin has no issues and the bet winning that’s all i care about. Funny world we live in though people will take/win then complain/moan…
I used to be on the biggest site on the internet for football tips and our tips used to always get used on other sites without asking so these people were banned from the site unless permission was asked.If nobody had spotted that it was from another site would you have taken all the plaudits or would you have said well actually it wasn’t really my tip??
the biggest site… didn’t do a good job did you then.
why would i claim plaudits or interested in them? plaudits make no difference to my bank account… all i’m interested is in the win, seems like you are interested in plaudits… if it seems a decent tip i will post regardless. Not happy sue me!!!
All i know is if i had wrote the preview and seen someone copy it word for word and post it on another site i would be a bit cheesed off.winner or not.
The mistake almost made was the lavish write up.
If he had posted the tip and odds and left it at that, no one would be any wiser.
It’s all a learning isnt it…..
Learning curve should be….
There was no intent to claim it as my own, was reading the thread about the Australia game on here whilst at the office and thought why not share it… but I understand. Learning curve it is… glad it was a winner regardless.
ps I only signed up on here today
Put up the tip, say you read it somewhere but don’t post someone else’s write-up. Lesson learned.
That’s life with the internet. I see plenty of my write-ups lifted and posted on other sites.
It’s difficult to stop it really.
To be fair I’d rather you didn’t copy someone else’s work – I don’t see the point.
If you agree with the tip suggest it but don’t paste in someone else’s write-up.
2 out of 3 last night both coming in the first half of the France U21s
One bet for me tonight.
Sweden double chance @19/20. Sweden only needing a point to be seeded and only let in 7 goals in all group games in only 4 matches, 3 of which was against France, so can see them keeping it tight against a Dutch side that can drop points against any team.
My second is Switzerland double chance @ 13/10, only let in 5 goals in all group games against 3 teams can see them locking up playing for the draw and hitting on the break, which a point will take them into Russia next summer, both teams only need the draw to better their opponentsthe double pays 3.48/1 @bet365
may get better elsewhere
Romania Liga 3
Cs U Craiova 2 v CNS Cetate Deva
Home team close to get a win here, it’s a big game and one they need to win to keep chasing down 1st place and putting them within 2 points. They have also only lost 2/10 at home recently. Away team are just outside the relegation zone in 11th/15 position. They are averaging 2.5 goals scored and 2.5 goals conceded. We should see:
Over 0.5 first half goals
1.5 first half goals
Over 2.5 match goals
Home win
–
Croatia U19 League
Rijeka U19 v Dragovoljac U19
Home side win, hopefully they pull their socks up today and bang a few goals in. They have two games in hand and a win would take them from 9th to 5th on pts. They are facing bottom side Hrvartski who are on 0 pts from 5 games and on -11 gd. Rijeka do not score many atm by the last 3 times these have met Rijeka have beat them 5-1 / 1-2 / 0-3. For this:
Over 0.5 first half goals
Over 1.5 match goals
Home win
Syria to score 11/10 **WON**

12.30, Spain v Niger, U17s, Eurosport
Gone bold, never seen these teams play….
Quite often you find the African teams are a lot stronger and quicker at a younger age and with Spain having a leaky defence I’m surprised at the 11/10 for a Niger goal, especially when the same bookmaker is offering 10/11 for BTTS.
Best Bets: Niger to score 1+ goals, 11/10, SkyBet, 3pts
Niger to score 2+ goals, 13/2, 1pt
Niger to score 3+ goals, 40/1, 0.25pts.
SP: Spain 2-2 Niger
Good Luck if you follow!
Following you on this one mate.
Your 11/10 shot that is.
+ Niger have older players then U17
They had the chances but lacked any quality.
Sorry those that followed :(
No worries craigy.
Morning gents, on initial inspection can’t say I was over impressed by today’s card but that soon changed when I saw the young guns are in action ( namely the Scottish development league and the u21 Qualifers
Quite a few games a really fancy today
Hibs u20 v St Johnstone u20 KO 2
Ross C u20 v Hamilton u20 KO 2
If it’s goals hi are looking for then Hibs are the team for you – 23 of their last 24 games have seen over 2.5 goals which is incredible. They should manage another few today against the young saints
Ross county have been a firm favourite of mine over the last few seasons for goals – usually see plenty at Dingwall and with both sides scoring and conceding we should see some here

odds jumping around for the big clash on saturday both teams 13/8 Man utd were 2/1 this morning,fellaini is a huge loss for Mourihno for this clash as it means he won’t be able to beat Liverpools press unless he sticks matic up with Lukaku and i can’t see that,need to see team news before making a call.
Maccathered,
Mane out for 6 weeks massive blow.?
MINT…
Yeah seen that MINT,is is bad news indeed luckily though we have Salah’s pace but Mane’s finishing will be missed,that means Coutihno and Firmino will have to play tired or not.
Yes agree,stats are unreal when Mane’s playing!
Without not so clever – to be fair back 4 and goalkeeper are the weakest links. Rant over let’s beat utd and #YNWA ?
MINT…
Fellaini is indeed a loss, I class him as a key player these days
Mane is a huge blow for you so there’s some balance, but I can see Coutinho scoring
Should be a goodun’
Game on!
nite owl LOST
did anyone else remember our good friends Bhutan today? got beat 10-0
Evening gents. Huge game in Portugal tonight with the Swiss are needing to avoid defeat to get top spot in the group. Portugal are the home favourites but value is on the Swiss to score and make Portugal work for it. If they sit back they’ll be asking for trouble, so expect the Swiss to go for it. You can get them to score before 79:00 @ 10/11 @ 365, but I’m going to chance them just to score at a short 4/6. Portugal don’t concede often at home, but have done in their home games against the Faroe’s and Latvia. Switzerland proved they are a strong outfit since the Euro’s, and I’m not underestimating them tonight.
Switzerland To Score @ 4/6 @ Various – 3 points
