Gonna make big money this World Cup or not. I believe in ironic plot twists.

Absolutely not

 

[Wookitake]

Absolutely not

That's my wish, it would be hilarious

Korea vs Czech is very boring, They both look exhausted already in the first half, I think I would pick Czech because they look a little bit dominant but most likely 0-0 draw

Not sure if I will be watching the 2nd half. I bet 50 on Czech tho

Should have stayed up and hedged on the bet when they scored first

Very entertaining second half. Actually, I quite liked the first too.

 

[Raven]

damn, Korea did it lmao, I mean i slept after the first goal by czech and i was like no point watching anymore.

So who you guys got Canada vs Bosnia.

Both are D tier teams so idk, maybe draw or Canada by a small margin.

2-0 Canada by Ai.

 

[GrySun]

All in on Bosnia

 

[Raven]

I wanted USA to lose but Paraguay is shit tier

They're not, they were very good in conmebol qualifying and only conceded 10 goals.

It's fair to say they played shit tier. People are ignoring how much of a killer that own goal was. Completely ruined any chance they had at threatening. I would not bet Australia or Turkey will get the same version.

A lot of people won't like hearing this because it's easy to root against the country, but this US team is very electrifying. They have questionable depth on defense but they have the horses on attack. They will give most teams trouble and are even capable of beating higher tier teams if they're wasteful.

That is a brilliant result for Cape Verde. So far the minnows are doing nicely this tournament.
Shame about Curacao last night though.

I swear every time someone wants to talk shit about too many non-UEFA/CONMEBOL teams in the competition shit like this happens

Big result for Egypt too

Belgium got a free draw that they don’t deserve. Well tbh I didn’t expect Egypt to perform this good to begin maybe I will have my hopes up in next matches.

A day full of draws Iran and Nz are kinda equals. this the only match I predicted the exact score right so far lol

 

[xi0]

Egypt is underrated, they have a good defense and iirc only like 2 teams allowed fewer goals than them in WC qualifying. Plus they have players like Salah and Marmoush. Belgium shouldn't be finishing anything other than first in this group, but it just speaks to how underwhelming they still are.
