ENGLAND joined the World Cup party on Sunday and in some style.
My best bet of the tournament was John Stones to score at 12-1 and it didn't take him long – and I also backed the Man City defender to net first. I quoted 35s but could only get on at 28-1.
Stones to score was one Super Single and England -2AH at 13-10 was another so I was a Scot happily cheering for Gareth Southgate's men.
The manner of their 6-1 win was impressive but Panama were poor and there are biggest tests to come.
My Daily Double was a loser but it was still a good day and hopefully there are plenty to follow.
Well done to the many winners on the game and overall on Sunday. As I said it will be easier for punters as the tournament progresses.
Monday sees the start of the final first-round games and in Group A it's Russia v Uruguay to decide top spot and a dead rubber between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
In Group B I'm on Spain and Portugal to win so first place will be decided on goal difference or even goals scored or some other criteria. Spain tackle Morocco and Portugal face Iran with the double paying evens.
One Super Single is Cristiano Ronaldo to score first and the other is Mo Salah to net at any time after Egypt confirmed he'd start as they look for a consolation prize.
I've posted my thoughts on the three games and there are previews from site contributors on all of them.

Iran v Portugal
Iran double chance at 5/4 (NAP)*****
Iran to win at 5/1 (NB)***
Iran come into this game knowing a win will see them through to the last 16 whilst Portugal only need a draw to see them through and i reckon Iran can get a result here.Portugal rely on counter attacking and in a game like this they won’t get chance to do that as Iran sit deep,we all watched how Iran ran Spain close in their last encounter and really were unlucky to lose that game as Spain created very little,i expect Portugal to struggle here and there is value taking the Iranians not to lose.
Best of luck
Iran v Portugal
Uruguay v Russia
Saudi Arabia v Egypt
All three games under 2.5 goals at 3/1 *****
Best of luck
You dont seriously expect us to believe you are backing Iran with actual cash to get a result and even beating Portugal ? Its a wind up isnt it Macca? Part of the legendary Scouse sense of humour? Any way im with Mr F’s banker on this and they will be undone nowthat they have no choice but to attempt playing in the opposition half rather than sitting camped 90 mins on the edge of their own area if they want any chance of getting the victory they need to progress.Iranian football is about as attractive to watch for 90 mins as a turd on a plate.One word……Ronaldo!!!!!!
Haha did you not watch them v Spain then,they sat deep but created lots of chances and good chances at that,yes i have backed Iran not to lose as i don’t think they will,the win is my nb bet for lower stakes.Best of Luck.I do expect Iran to score correct score 1-1 for me.
If you look where the money is going Sean its pretty equal mate.
Iran as you say played well but they need a win,a draw won’t be enough as Portugal /Spain have a better goals difference,Spain should take care of Morocco but only need to draw so that game concerns me more,Iran need to win to realistically progress so will probably get picked off @maccathered,,great to see other people’s thoughts&reasonings as well though,still sticking with my original bet
They created some great chances v Spain and what astounded me in that game was how easily they did it,and they did it at their leisure,they chose when to attack and when not to.
You talk as if i am a fool Sean,there is a saying mate,always use your own brain when betting,don’t use someone else’s use your own that way you won’t go far wrong.
No dont think of u as a fool Macca,in fact i like the way you bet against the grain at times,may not always agree but that doesn’t mean you are wrong as has been proven quite a few times. Just hoping Irans lets play boring football tactics sends them packing ASAP.
Egypt. Portugal. Spain treble pays 7/2 skybet – must be in with a shout.

Going for a Hail Mary in all 4 games today. VAR review to be used 2 + times in all games. each game 10/1. £ 1.00 Yankee pays over 20500/1. I will delighted with a double.

really not too confident in Uruguay tbh, they are far from convincing, Suarez and Cavani don’t really work well together in my opinion.
so
cheryshev and salah atgs double 7/1 bet 365, won really big on this when I made a bet builder at halftime the other night, really confident in both of these players, cheryshev can equal Kane and Ronaldo and can actually become the ultimate dark horse of the tournament for the golden boot, none of william hill pp or bet 365 offering any more than 7/1 for the double as well says it all for me.
free £10 bet is cheryshev brace 35/1 PP
also on Ronaldo and salah 1st double 11/1 boosted to 12/1 £30 on.

Good Luck.

Icelandic Cup action kicking off this evening and there may well be goals on the radar in one particular game…
THÓR VS. STJARNAN (2100 KO):
In 7 of the last 8 meetings between these two sides both teams have found the net; 5 of those 8 have seen 4 or more match goals with 50% of games going 6+ match goals.
Of note, games taking place at Thor’s ‘patch’ Akureyri have seen 7-2-6-8 match goals and with both sides getting off to a solid start in their respective divisions, the goal omens look to be on side!
Three selections to consider:
OVER 3.5 MGS…6/5
????
BTTS 1ST HALF…2/1
??
BTTS BOTH HALVES…11/1
?

Well done Macca, brave call
Nice one macca.
Shame on those doubting your wisdom.
???
Cheers lads,let the doubters doubt elvis.
Good call Macca, even back in 2014 they gave the Argies a tough game.
They are tough to beat Bully,just because they sit deep they are deemed boring,they were that poor financially the players had to buy their own football boots as no one would sponsor them,now the last 20 mins in games they go for it and do it pretty well,anyone who watched them play v Spain would know Portugal would have to play for 90 mins and thats something they aren’t good at,Iran could of won it in the last minute also.
It’s a great shout Macca – if nothing else, this World Cup shows that the lesser nations have massively closed the gulf in footballing standards – aside from Panama’s capitulation, there is no whipping boys. ?
Agreed hull,there are also some phenomenal players in these so called lesser teams,if they can play at that level then imo they can play in any league in Europe.
Well done with the Iran not to lose but bottom line is Ronaldo should have put Portugal out of sight.
Glad to see the back of sides who play not to lose. When they did go forward late on they looked decent.
yes well done on the call macca but never in a million years was that a penalty Var was a farce in this game
Never a pen but well done anyone backing pens.

At least they have admitted it pretty quickly and are sorting.
