WELL that was some night of football with VAR the talking point again as Spain edged out Portugal for top spot in Group B.
I reckon it was VAR 2, Bookies 1, Punters 0 on a thrilling night of action.
That means out first two last-16 ties at the weekend will be Uruguay v Portugal followed by Spain v Russia – and the way the World Cup's gone we could see any two teams winning although the Russians were found out a bit when they faced quality opponents for the first time.
Portugal and Spain were both held to draws and that beat my Daily Double. Well done to all those who fancied Iran not to lose including selectabet who tipped a 1-1 draw in his preview.
Today Group C and D reach a conclusion with Denmark v France and Australia v Peru in the afternoon and Iceland v Croatia and Nigeria and Argentina at night.
Croatia are expected to be weakened against Iceland and if they are I'd back against them but wait for line-ups before taking this bet.
I've posted my thoughts on the four games and there will be previews from site contributors on all of them.
On Monday my first Super Single came up thanks to Mo Salah scoring for Egypt but the second was a loser on Cristiano Ronaldo so it was break even on the pair.

    I’m baffled by all this small nation/defensive football nonsense.
    Even mr f jumped on the bandwagon.
    Yes, Ronald missed a penalty, but also Iran where a goal away from winning the group at the death!!!.
    Try telling icelandic fans their team are boring and defensive after the last euros.
    They won’t care, it’s up to the so called good teams to beat their system.

    Teams like Spain, Portugal, France, argies etc like to hit teams on the break.
    Why should Iran, Iceland and so called small nations accommodate them.
    It’s what makes the world cup fascinating, the clash of styles and cultures

    • maccathered 6 years ago

      Iran should of won it at the end,they are pretty streetwise imo,a team that can defend and a team that pretty much always scores,and with the lack of quality they have they have done pretty well to bag four points in a group containing Spain and Portugal.

  2. elvis parsley 6 years ago

    I’ve just noticed the champions league starts today.
    Santa coloma of Andorra v drita of Kosovo.
    It’s on same time as Argentina v Nigeria.
    Tough choice which game to watch ?

    • jimba 6 years ago

    That’s a no brainer EP. Santa Coloma are a force of European football whereas Lionel messi has turned out to be rubbish.

      Looking back to that friendly in November and the previous h2h this isn’t that bat shite crazy mate. May have a tinker on 3.5 and 4.5

    • maccathered 6 years ago

      Something happened between the two teams some years ago,can’t remember what it was but it seemed to bring out the best out of both sides.ever since there has been history of goals and plenty of them.

    • hampy 6 years ago

      With the added bonus this game is all to play for to get through the group stages. May be a few cards also so gonna take a look at that. Cheers mate for heads up

  10. bigwigg 6 years ago

    Think this looks a fairly good value bet, Iceland and Australia both need to take something from their games to have any hope at all of making it out their groups or at least give themselves a chance , while Denmark while be wanting to make sure they put their fate in their own hands and Nigeria playing a completely out of sorts Argentina ,

    Iceland , Australia , Denmark and Nigeria all to score 1 or more @ 4/1

    Surely will be there or there abouts and seems a good price considering … any thoughts from the more experienced tipsters on here ?

    ( apologies if this has posted twice seem to be having issues this morning )

    Trying to cover a couple of pre world cup bets! Trying to find a bookmaker that will take a double on a top team goalscorer and group qualification?? If anyone knows of one as bet365 won’t

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      If it’s the same team it’s unlikely as it will be a related contigency. Might get someone to do it as an odds request.

    • craigo11 6 years ago

      Thanks Mr f
      I’m currently investigating
      In detail I’ve got 2 accas relying on Colombia to qualify and the other is neymar top team goalscorer both for a 20 point return! Both cashouts are shocking (bet365) I’ll be devastated to lose both so looking to cover both as a double Colombia not to qualify and coutinho top goalscorer @ about 11/2

    • xhaka khan 6 years ago

      Was thinking about your penalty bets last night Alex. I am going to back the individual bets, to score to miss a pen, given that, for example, the Saudis did both in one game.

      Thoughts?

    • alex_mufc83 6 years ago

      That would be 4 single bets per game, and all reliant on there actually being a penalty awarded… not for me that, but good luck if you go for it. It’s a risky one.

    • cockerspaniel 6 years ago

      That is what i would do xhaka but not on all of them.

    • theboss 6 years ago

      I’ve been doing them! Finally got a double yesterday for £85 of 19p a line lol and singles miss pens.

    NIGERIA VS. ARGENTINA (1900 KO):

    So much at stake here but despite the quality of Argentina’s individuals, it is a poor team who have never fully gelled.

    Much of the squad are made up of the players who have come through the Argentine national Youth/U21/22s in recent years and they have been a (respective) shambles given the talent at their disposal.

  32. buzzer 6 years ago

    im not going to say that was a fixed game but France v Denmark defiantly had the hallmarks of one

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      Draw suited both – when that’s the case it usually is one.
      It’s what I tipped and I actually said to admin this morning I fancied 0-0 – but there hadn’t been any till now and that put me off.

    • alex_mufc83 6 years ago

      Yeah why exhaust players/risk injuries when already qualified.. not that i’m condoning playing for a bore-draw

    • buzzer 6 years ago

      from a betting perspective it had a draw written all over it in truth but as for a sporting aspect teams should play to win its not really fair on fans to have payed all that money just to watch two teams purposefully blocking each other out

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      Just the way it works out sometimes in groups – happened before and will happen again.

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      9 changes for Croatia – only Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic survive from side that beat Argentina.
      Iceland Super Single must have a chance.

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      yeah 100% Argentina manager needs to be thrown in the bin, they obviously are not performing but he keeps playing different groups, tonight 6 changes seemingly, too much change, messi is broken and I will be shocked if he scores after seeing some of the other ‘best’ players in the world under perform, the under dogs are just being consistent and it is working

    @jimba ridiculous celtic and rangers have to start the season before the world cup has even ended………..

    • recoba 6 years ago

      Crazy Craneguy! Can go on about the state of Scottish football etc and coefficient but surely something must be done regarding inividual teams and that’s not a dig at RFCs woes but how Celtic deserve to be hit with an extra round is beyond me. I cheer all Scottish clubs in Europe, couldn’t car less if RFC had a good run in Europe like Manchester…. Just don’t win it ye na. ;) ?

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      It’s simply down to co-efficients and no one but Celtic has been earning points for Scotland.
      Club and country co-efficients taken into account and if it wasn’t for the Champions Route it would be much worse for Celtic.
      If it’s to change we need Celtic, Rangers and even Aberdeen to have a couple of good seasons in Europe.

    • recoba 6 years ago

      Yip. Even heard a whisper Uefa were thinking of scrapping the champions route!? That’s why I cheer Scots teams on,don’t cheer RFC on but it bothers me not a jot if they win in Europe yet most other fans take great pleasure in Scottish teams woes in Europe? I Just mean you would think Uefa could do something for individual teams but then it would get really complicated.

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      They tried to scrap but Lawwell and some others managed to stop it although fewer teams will qualify this year through the champions route so it’s tougher for clubs like Celtic.
      UEFA will never care about Scottish teams because we don’t have the TV money – they’re looking after the big boys and big leagues.

    • sand 6 years ago

      Celtic, Rangers and even Aberdeen? That would be Aberdeen who have finished 2nd 4 seasons in a row. Can’t see us beating Burnley to be fair but not sure I follow the even Aberdeen part.

    • Mr Fixit 6 years ago

      Talking about European results here – not Premiership.
      Aberdeen need to get to the group stage to earn serious points.
      Rangers promise much under Gerrard but let’s see how they perform when the talking’s over.

  40. cockerspaniel 6 years ago

    Not a lot of value doing bookings Argentine v Nigeria. But i think Messi to be carded at 13/2 could be in with a shout. Skybet/Bet365

    A lot of pressure on Messi….

    Uncapped young chap in net for the Argies, mixed up squad for this one, Aguero on bench… Also think it’ll be a Nigeria win. But will be backing Musa to bet against the Argies again, done it twice before.
