ANOTHER giant has departed the World Cup leaving six European nations to fight it out for the big prize.
France will face Belgium in the first semi-final after they defeated Uruguay and Brazil respectively.
They're first and second favourites in the outright betting with England third at 5-1 with sportingbet ahead of their meeting with Sweden today. They are as short as 7-2 with McBookie and William Hill.
On yesterday's evidence I'd take Belgium to beat France but there are no guarantees and it should be a cracking game between two sides who boast world-class forwards.
A Belgium-England final pays 5-1 at 188BET while a France v England final is 7-2 at William Hill.
England are first up against Sweden today and I've posted a separate preview on that and my thoughts on the Russia match. There will also be separate previews from two of the regular contributors.
Well done to all yesterday's winners and there were plenty. My first non-World Cup bet during the tournament won thanks to Rangers -1 – it ended 6-0 against Bury as Steven Gerrard's side opened with a morale-boosting win.
The other Super Single was Brazil & btts and Brazil also beat the Daily Double. My Bonkers Bet was Vincent Kompany to score and I thought he had the opener but his effort was deflected in off Fernandinho for a clear OG.

De Minaur to beat Nadal @ 13/2- 1.5 units
De Minaur to win a set @ 11/10- 3 units
over 32.5 games @ 4/5 – 4 units
Sasnovich to beat Gavriolva @ 11/10- 3 units
Bencic to beat CSN and England to qualify @ 7/5- 4 units
Sasnovich, Bencic, Kerber to win, over 32.5 games in De Minaur vs Nadal @ 8.6/1 – 2 units
Tournemant profit/loss: +8.8 units
Stated reasons on De Minaur yesterday. He may not win the match, but he can. One thing is for certain he will push Nadal and it wouldnt be first time he has lost to an up and coming 19 year old at Wimbledon in the last few years…
Gavrilova is the epitome of a hack, and a clay court one at that. For me Sasnovich is the better player on this surface.
Bencic won Junior Wimbledon a few years back and reached the 4th round at age 17 before injuries hit. Navarro has been solid over the years but she is a clay court player.
Advising the change on De Minaur to win to 2 units. 2 Units is the figure that will be taken into the total profit/loss.
Good shout on the Nadal game. Bet365 have over 3.5 sets at 5/4 so doubled that with sasnovich giving 3.72/1.
5pts on from the world cup bank which started at 100pts but following Mr F/Hullshaker and a few of my own gut feelings is now at 323pts before this bet.
Yesterday was 20pts on Belgium/Brazil BTTS giving 36pts return.
Congrats mate. Sounds really good, hoping for a good day for us both!
Got the court wrong. Sun added bounce and Nadal smashed De Minaur. 2 winners though limited loss.
Day profit/loss: -2.1 units
Tournemant profit/loss: + 6.7 units
“” Right, markets are finally up. Odds are pretty low for France v Uruguay which is the one that concerns me more. So :
Uruguay v France under 3.5 offsides, 4/9, bet365
Brazil v Belgium under 3.5 offsides 4/5 bet 365
I’m doing £15, £25 and £10 double “”
Winner. Winnwr. Turkey and beef dinner
⚽ Sweden ?? – ??????? England ⚽

i,m looking at the England game from a fitness angle…they were kicked, punched, grappled to the ground against Columbia , and an extra 30 mins on the pins….the next morning only 8 of the squad made the recovery sesh ( 2 of them were keepers)..and they had a long journey back to the hotel from the game….so it,s 2/1 Sweden to qualify for me….but as always ….nobody knows till you get your toe out to that line……..only my opinion…..
One booking bet up and one down in the Brazil v Belgium game so no loss there
Need a Stones booking today for a 29/1 double -he is 6/1 to be carded . Sticking a free tenner on that as a single as well. Big price IMO.
To score double
Sweden
Russia
7/4
??? Le Tour de France ???
Stage 1
Noirmoutier-en-l’Île > Fontenay-le-Comte (201 Km)
===========================================
⚫ It is a flat stage with only one categorized climb less then 1 Km length with 4.2% gradient , if everything goes well we will see a massive sprint at the end of the stage.
⚫ As every year we have many very good sprinters: Marcel Kittel, Mark Cavendish, Andre Greipel, Dylan Groenewegen, Fernando Gaviria, Arnaud Démare, Alexander Kristoff, Peter Sagan.
⚫ One of the favorites is Gaviria – his team Quick Step has a wonderful year so far ,the Colombian has 7 wins till now and with Gilbert, Lampaert , Terpstra and Richeze on his train he’ll be tough to beat.
⚫ Another on man to beat is Groenewegen , the Dutchman has 9 wins this year so far , he came here in great for and he won last stage here in France in the last Tour. Lotto Jumbo has best rider to make his train a wining on – Roosen , Martens, Jansen.
⚫ Marcel Kittel since he went to Katusha he was not at the same level he had and this year was not good so far, only 2 wins for him in Tirreno-Adriatico . Politt and Zabel will help him to get a good position at end of the stage.
⚫ Mark Cavendish bad season so far for him with injuries and crashes , but the experience is on his side and last year came here and had a bad Tour , last victory was in 2016 when he won 4 stages in Le Tour.
⚫ Arnaud Démare he is my horse today , he had a great tour in 2017 with a stage win and 2 seconds. FDJ have a long sprint train to help him win , he is still one of the main contenders for the sprints only 2 victory for his side this year , but i expect to be at his best in this edition and I hope he does not get sick like last year happend.
============================================================================================
Bets :
Arnaud Demare to finish in top 5 @ 1.75 (Offline) ???
===========================================
Kittel to win @ 5.50 (Unibet) ??

Hi,
Small punt on sweden to win and sweden to win on penalties
Japan league 2
Yamaga
Chiba
Oita
Over 1.5mgs treble 6/5
Also on all the following for all 10 games
Over 1.5mgs 18/1
28total goals scored 7/4
Over 0.5fhgs 40/1
A goal in both halves 450/1
Good luck
I followed you on the 28 goals scored, now says bet void. 1 game was postponed!
DC John..Yamaga?

Are you on the over 2.05 mg in all games @ 2500/1 dc – worth a knicker .
Why no, might aswell I’m on everyone else lol
Ha ha . Good luck.
Steven Gerrard to get first refusal on all players going out on loan from Liverpool.
Hmmm…Rodgers supposebly wants an u21 winger Maccathered?
Yeah Harry Wilson great Talent,he will be joining Rangers if he doesn’t make Klopp’s plans for this season,he’s close to the first team now so all depends who Klopp brings in.Rodgers won’t get him thats for sure,100% he will go to Rangers.
Celtic will still walk it! I don’t even support them. Gerrard will be gone by next summer. Back where he belongs.
Gerrard won’t win a league title in Scotland. They’re being run by a man living off a family trust fund,the club owed approx £18m in soft loans prior too the summer spending and recorded a loss last season. Effectively they are splashing cash they don’t have too close the gap. If it fails and they don’t manage too win a title in the next 2/3yrs and access Champions League income in Govan I fear another financial meltdown in Govan. And I am a Celtic fan but that’s the stark reality of it
As a neutral I can see Gerrard here for a couple of years – maybe until Liverpool want him back.
He’s done a good job so far, he’s said all the right things and he’s recruited well.
Clearly he demands respect and players will give him a 100 per cent.
I know it was only Bury last night but a couple of Rangers fans who were there told me the performance and attitude was night and day from last season.
Will be really tough to catch Celtic but Gerrard looks determined to give it a go.
Gerrard has assembled a vastly improved first choice group of players and shall be superior too anything seen last season. No strength in depth though which could be crucial when injuries and suspension creep in but Aberdeen will be strong, Hibs will be strong and if Levein can grasp a steady eleven from the transfer merry-go-round that parks up at Tynecastle every window no doubt its set for a more competitive season than the last 7yrs.
NO disservice too Clarke Killie or double cup finalists Motherwell but they will do well too continue that over although both should hold their own
Refreshingly optimistic about the future of Scottish football for a change.

England @ 10/11
Harry Kane anytime @ Evs
William Hill
I dont think we will have any problems against Sweden today (one of the lowest scoring teams) and will win inside 90 minutes. To win means goals so have to take Kane onhis current form!
England @ 10/11 Won
Harry Kane anytime Lost
Sticking with my bookings England v Sweden
20 + BP each team 11/8
50 + BP. 5/4
Stones booking 6/1
Trippier booking 9/2

Dartford vs Millwall
Millwall over 1.5 tgs 2nd half @ 6/5
William Hill
Currently 0-5
Terrible…lost!
World Cup double
—Double—
Kane to score
Russia v Croatia – BTTS
4.62
Sweden concede a lot of headed chances . Value plays on Dele 28/1, Stones, 18/1 Maguire 14/1 and Kane 10/1- header ⚽
Also in header market prices big on Toivonen 33/1 and Berg 25/1
There some potential on skybet requestabets header market and scoring outside area.
Basically 4-4-2 system by Sweden will mean England need to play with width and pass and move . Otherwise chances will be restricted to long range efforts and set plays .
Sweden dangerous on counter attack and will look to concede possession and let England do the work with the ball.
England conceded every round and last match conceded header and can see that situation occuring again..
I suggest value in markets for outside of area penalities and headers maybe combined?
Toivonen and Maguire 600/1
Toivonen and Stones 600/1
Kane anytime is 5/4 price boost at skybet
Dele starts today and is 3/1 anytime fancy this as he has the right style to get in to areas where Sweden will be vulnerable.
Another thing to note is England conceded 2 of 4 goals at WC by set pieces.
England S&W 15/4
Croatia S&W 4/1
2 singles
22/1 double
Celtic with strongest available 11 against a Shamrock Rovers outfit that played a league match last night. Was 9-0 last year under similar circumstances. Could get close again
Celtic – 1.5,2.0 AH 1st half @1.950
Celtic o4. 5 team goals 11/10
Celtic RT7 corners 11/10
RT9 10/3
Good shout with Celtic.
Jumped on this,Ta✔
Bizarrely ended on 87mins but 7 goals and 9 corners and Pickfords burst the score and win
Probably took pity on Shamrock Rovers.
Well done England – deserved victory.
Great tipping for Scott.
Super Single
England and under 3.5 goals (13-10, Ladbrokes)

No early corner and a really tight and stifled start.
Scott Allot….35/1 McGuire FGS ?
Cracking shout ???
I’ve backed either Stones or Maguire almost every game.
Read Scott’s preview and thought why not but only got 28s – well done that man.

UNIVERSIDAD CHILE VS. COBRELOA (2230 KO):

Good luck!
We could all have made a killing today betting on a header being the next goal method the England game was 11/2 when Maquire scored 6/1 when Ali scored and also 6/1 when the Croatia lad scrored so betting £10 a time would have won £65 £70.
-10 and £70 so would have been £195 up
Hindsight is great but might be worth a dabble for the semi finals
Thanks to go go for that heads up on headers
After seeing your post I agreed game looks good for a header, backed; McGuire to score a header 20/1, Alli to score a header 18/1, Stones to score a header 22/1, and Kane to score a header 11/2. First two came in of course evens stakes. Cheers
Come on England!!
Scottish thoughts on England?? – still hatred or maybe a bit of support for your neighbours?
Maggie Thatcher’s PollTax!…aye right
I’ve already said my piece – it’s the pundits who are the problem.
Anyway half the Scottish population always support England.
I don’t hate anyone but today I wanted England to win because I had money on them.

Uruguay goal short on the treble (great save by French keeper)
Croatia were poor tonight to stuff my singles…Modric and Rakotic are playing far too deep and need to get up to the box for layoffs from strikers, England will beat them if they play like that.
Brazil out sinks the other single.
Ive found it a very tough world cup, might give betting on the semis and final a miss with this form.
Well done all winners on the thread ?
————————————–
Posted 2 days ago
I’m going for
Uruguay to score before 79 minutes 1-1
Brazil v Belgium btts 3-4
England o5.5 corners 5-6
Treble pays little over 5-1 **(bet365)
Main bet is Croatia -1.5AH at 15-4 with betway *****
£10 Freebet saver on Croatia to win and btts at 9-2 *
Think it will be Brazil v Croatia final, still getting 13-2 **
Think this will be a game too far for the Russians, they were still very fortunate to get through against a disjointed, managerless Spain. I thought Croatia did more than enough to beat a tough Denmark, did everything except score, so putting it down to an off night and they still managed through. Think the rules require a wee review after the penalty incident in extra time.
Anyway, enjoy everyone and good luck all with a bet on ?
