Topic: FIFA World Cup 2018 Russia - the Journey - page 6. (Read 696 times)

It is England vs Panama today and let’s sees for a tough match and interesting match because after the match of Argentina vs Croatia we can not say about the dominancy anymore because that was an upset. Now today it is going to be an interesting match between England and Panama and especially the audience is very energetic about this game, I will watch on TV and will enjoy it.

I think Robert Lewandowski is the footballer who scored the most goals for Poland in the qualifying for the World Cup and he is also the all-time leading goal scorer for his country. He actually set a new goalscoring record with his 16 goals. Unfortunately for him and his team he has problems showing up in big games apparently. The whole team looked awful though and a lot has changed since Euro 2016.

The problem is that Robert Lewandowski can't be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo. I would rate the latter as the best player in the world right now and he can single-handedly guide his team to a win against major opponents. But Lewandowski doesn't have that talent.

They have many good players that are rated high but they just can't work well together. For instance to buy Lewandowski you'd have to trade half of the Senegal's team, but they managed to win. It proves that it's all a gamble and you can't really predict the outcome based on the team's rating.

I got 2 of my predictions right today ( the 0-0 HT result in the Japan - Senegal match was wrong but the FT bet made up for it) and I was way off with my Poland hunch lol  To be honest I think Poland is the worst European team and apparently Lewandowski unlike Ronaldo can't carry the Polish team on his shoulders alone.

I don't think you need to pay to watch World Cup it's broadcast for free on all channels or speak with your cable guys they should be able to handle it for you. I have never heard that you need to pay for it, so I think you should just keep calm and figure it out.

I don't think both will play for a draw a 1 -0 result looks promising but I don't feel comfortable on guessing who it'll be.

Poland is everyone's favourite hope they live up to it.

All major national television stations are broadcasting the World Cup for free. Have you checked your local TV stations? If none is covering the World Cup that would be very odd by the way.

Onto today's matches. Japan - Panama. I think England will win this one comfortably. I like Harry Kane to score a goal today.

Japan - Senegal. Japan and Senegal beat the favorites surprisingly and whoever wins today qualifies for the next round. I think both teams will try to not lose and play carefully. I am going with HT 0-0 and FT draw.

Poland - Colombia. The group favorites are facing each other today. I am going to bet on Poland due to the much higher odds of 3.70. I think the game could go either way so I am betting on the higher odds. Also Poland 0.5 AH for more safety.

You haven't mentioned the most important thing. Your location. Unless we know where you reside, it is impossible to give any advice. In some countries, streaming is available from multiple sources, while in some others none is available.

Oh man the Germans are so lucky wow. I think this is the latest goal scored by a German footballer during a World Cup competition. 94th minute. They really deserved that win though so big props for them being a man down.

And by the way if you are looking for a place to watch the World Cup for free Sportsbet.io has streams of the matches.

maybe you can register at rojadirecta. and make a purchase of a premium account. so you will get a complete channel even an official broadcast is available there. I have not tried it for FIFA WORLD CUP. but I used to try the LA-LIGA channel and it proved to broadcast all the matches

I wouldn't exclude Argentina just yet if I were you. They could bash Nigeria in the next match and gather enough points for 2nd place.
My favorites are Belgium Croatia and France.

My first pick is Belgium. I think they have no weak brinks in their team and have a great team spirit combined with attacking prowess.
Croatia have possibly the best midfielders in the world right now. They have a very experienced team and a powerful attack as well. Dismantled a disgraced Argentina without breaking a sweat.
France have the most expensive team in the world. Amazing individualists and not much of team players. If they manage to band together more and play as a team France could easily overpower anyone even Brazil.

Brazil and Argentina are not stable enough. Spain have an emergency coach. England play well but something is lacking. Germany seem very tired and uninspired. Portugal rely too much on Ronaldo.

My 2 cents.

Brazil are my favourites to win the whole tournament. I did have Germany as beaten finalists but let’s see if they can get off their ass & beat Sweden now or else they might not even get out of the damn group.

Belgium did great, 5 - 2. Tunisia did also pretty decent, the difference in level is was too big in this one, Belgium was pretty offensive and this opened some opportunities for Tunisia to explain these gaps and find 2 goals.

Overall a good match from spectator POV.

At this early stage my TOP 3 are:

Germany
Brazil
Spain

Germany has always solid players, Brazil will recover I think Neymar will get better, Spain will also start showing a better game similar to 2010 and will have a chance. I leave Argentina out unfortunately.

Adding my 3rd bet for the day. I have been mulling over what to bet in the Belgium - Tunisia match. Belgium have fantastic footballers and to me they are probably the dark horse of the tournament. So much talent on all positions and on the bench as well. They should win today's match with ease. The odds for an outright win are kinda low though so I will choose something different. I think Tunisia will try to slow the match down in the first half and hope for the best. 2nd half might get the most action. I will try Belgium to win & 2nd half with the most goals. GL & HF 

Same with me, the number of upsets in this world cup has been too many and has done a lot of damage to my gambling because i keep loosing this time around because of the uncertainty of this world cup and so i put my gambling on hold until the quarter finals where we will see the likely to win teams emerging.

hard to decide which team is the best team to bet and all players are doing their job, i'm enjoy watching of every games because i can't decide the best team i bet and also i'm not a gambler i just want to enjoy watching FIFA world cup.

Bringing my thread back to life!
Been busy with life and watching the World Cup   What an interesting week with lots of surprising results that was!
Going to give my opinion on the remaining games and hopefully guess the correct World Cup winner haha  


Bet of the day tomorrow - Germany to win vs Sweden @1.5. Germany -1 AH is a nice choice as well.
I think the Germans will be all over Sweden firing on all cylinders. After that shameful display vs Mexico they have to get the win in order to avoid elimination in the group stage of the tournament. They started slow and looked very passive without a good idea of how to score and got destroyed by the Mexican counter attacks. I think they have taken notes of that defeat and will come out very motivated on the pitch tomorrow. Sweden is an okay team but they lack the class and skills of the German football stars.


Alternative bet - Mexico to win vs South Korea @ 1.7 Mexico surprised me a lot. Very fast play and deadly on the counter attacks. Chicharito could have scored a hat trick had he been more accurate with his finishing shots. Mexico looked confident and played well. I expect them to carry on with their performance vs South Korea. Unless the Asians park the bus the whole match Mexico should be able to win the game.

That's for now. Good luck and have fun  


Disclaimer: this World Cup has been absolutely crazy so don't bet more than what you can afford to lose on the favorites. Just don't  
Cheers!

I'm loving the excitement and buildup towards the World Cup, do you'll feel Ramos could be booed what he did to Salah and Liverpool keeper? Both of them suffered injuries and Ramos latest statement was bit harsh. It's really difficult to pick a top goal scorer so early, will prefer to wait and watch before I decide to pick one.

So my picks are Spain, Germany, France what about you'll?

yes  , the great competition in soccer will start after 9 days , hope we will see a lot of goals and surprises and good luck for all teams ,
my prediction for now is brazil will go to the final with germany hope we willsee that

The best players from all over the world will be on our big screens once more and I can not believe it that this competition

Goes live next week  and am putting my money on Brazil, Argentina and Germany to produce an outright winner, just hope my analysis pays off: )
