Enter stage: Lionel Messi.
This morning the little magician embarks on what could be his final opportunity to land the big one and emulate his hero Diego Maradona as Argentina start their World Cup against Saudi Arabia.
The two-time champions can ease their way in to the tournament with a comfortable win over the Arab nation. So far we've seen Qatar outplayed and Iran outclassed, emphasising the concensus that the AFC will be the weakest confederation represented in Qatar.
There's little value to be had from an Argentina win at 1/7 nor the HT/FT result at 4/7 so instead have a look at them scoring from the spot. There's been a penalty awarded in three of the four matches so far and in a game that should be dominated by the South Americans there's more than a fair chance a spot-kick will feature.
Denmark are plenty of punters idea of a dark horse at the tournament. After beating the French twice in the Nations League they've been drawn alongside them in Group D. The two nations meet on Saturday night in what could be a group decider but they're both favourites to start with a win today.
The Danes meet Tunisia at 1.00pm and there's little to suggest that the North Africans can spring a surprise. They were soundly beaten 5-1 by Brazil in a recent friendly, although they did enjoy Kirin Cup success in the summer with wins over Chile and hosts Japan.
Denmark's wins over World Champions France caught the eye but they still finished second in their Nations League group to Croatia. However, big things are expected of the Red and Whites and they should be trusted to get off to a winning start.
France's form has been bit iffy this year and they've not had their problems to seek on the injury front. Few squads would be able to cope with the loss of the likes of Kante, Pogba and Benzema but such is the strength in depth available to Didier Deschamps that they should still go deep in to the competition.
Anything other than a win over Australia would be a major surprise so pair them up with Denmark for a Group D double.

First half 1.5
Second half 1.5
Lost 😞
Away from the WC & the EFL Cup tie tonight between 2 U21 sides looks primed for goals. Wolves entertaining Man Utd and they met on October 22nd with the game finishing 3-2 to United.
Both sides have scored in all 12 of their league games this season,Wolves have conceded in 9/12 & United yet too register a clean sheet. There’s been 44 goals in Wolves 12 games with 18 scored and 26 conceded, United have seen 57 in their 12 with 21 scored & 36 conceded.
All 12 of United’s games have seen both sides net with 10 of those seeing a minimum of 4 goals. There was 5 second half goals in the recent meeting so most goals in the 2nd half could be a good angle to take
BTTS & o2.5gls 10/11

Goodluck all………
No second for Argentina ❌️
MEXICO – POLAND
Poland will be playing ultra-defensive football during this World Cup as mentioned by the manager and players themselves. This means Mexico will be in possesion for most of the game. However, with slightly more individual quality on Poland’s side with Lewandowski, Zielinski, Szczesny, Zalewski and Matty Cash in the back I’m going for Poland’s win in this game.
Total Ball possession (%) by Mexico – over 55.5 at 4/5 Unibet (NAP)
Poland to win at 23/10 (NB)

Argentina FHG’s ✖️✖️ the Argies will have to re-learn the offside rule!
I think Saudi Arabia played the offside trap very well,very risky though but it paid off for them.It looks like that’s the way they are going to play.

The world cup has come alive, bale’s penalty (meant a lot to me as I’m from little Wales 🏴) the Saudi goals and the celebrations at the end, and the Tunisian fans, my god they were rocking, brilliant support.
Will Australia beating France tonight be a bigger shock than the Saudi result ??
Probably won’t happen unless France take them for granted but should be a colourful occasion nonetheless.
You know the games poor when the fans are the highlight of the 90 minutes. The last 135mins of games have been painful too watch
Good afternoon, guys,
Today’s MAIN bet

LOST – Nowhere near!!!
Out of curiosity ,has anybody got around a permanent exclusion by a Bookie?
The Bookmaker in question has taken some recent losses to heart it seems,and used a pathetic and unrelated excuse to exclude me,but I’m sure going to miss some of their markets and the notification tool.
Cheers for any advice.
It’s like arguing with a copper mate,only 1 winner. Take it on the chin and go elsewhere
I know what you mean Smokey,but I’m thinking if you’ve got more than one name,more than one property and more than one bank account are they to know?
