That's a lie

Argentina over Belgium by 1 (only because of Messi and Di Maria; but won't be easy).
Costa Rica over Neherlands by 2 (despite Robben)

Netherlands 3-1 over CR and Robben won't dive, but scores two.

Also, I made the following additional bet yesterday (4-match accumulator):
Germany to beat France within 90 mins
Brazil to beat Colombia within 90 mins
Argentina to beat Belgium within 90 mins
Holland vs Costa Rica to go to extra time (draw after 90 mins)

£5 @ 40/1

£200 if it comes in! Fingers crossed for tomorrow 😀

16 M Americans watch the USA vs Belgium match that is only 5%.

Two games. One goal, total.

Sorry to keep doing this, but how can you invest so much time and mental energy into watching a game wherein it's almost impossible to score in a big game?

Because to score is a part of the game.

To run, to kick, to scream, to smile, to cry, to have emotions... and it's another part of the game. Football is more complex than only watching a game...

Does it bother you that 12% of your chess games have ended in a draw?

And do you understand that - more so than in chess - the middle game in a football match is very important?

Germany by 2 goals over Brazil (they would've won even with Neymar).
Argentina by 1 goal over Netherlands (Messi vs Robben; Di Maria is a big loss).
