Will probably start a separate thread for the group matches but in the meantime all pre-tournament outright bets are most welcome here.
To get the ball rolling here's my take on Group A . I might well add to this in due course but for now with or without Salah I fancy Egypt to qualify at 6/4 or better if you shop around,
Looking forward to this tourny and appreciate all opinions and tips from forum members.

Golden Boot
Probably looking at 6 goals here which has won in seven of the last ten tournaments ( 5 twice and 8 once ).Of the seven teams ranked 45 or higher in the tournament three of them are in Group A with Uruguay. I'm thinking Cavani or Suarez an am going with their penalty taker
Suarez @ 25/1
Golden Ball
This is a player of the tournament award. The FIFA Technical committee compile a list which is then voted on by the accredited media. Usually need the team to make the semi's to get on this list. I have noticed several footie journalists picking Iniesta for this award. If Spain makes the semi's I think this bet has legs
Iniesta @ 30/1

I think the draw for these finals could have been much kinder for the African nations so it will be tough going but all 5 there on merit and some traditionally strong teams like Ghana and Ivory Coast missed out

Brazil look to have the goods and the only sides that should worry them are Spain, Germany and Argentina. If the groups go as expected Brazil will only meet one of them - and that in the final. First up
Brazil win @ 4/1 6 units
No matter how rubbish the Germans are they always reach the semi's or the final
Final Brazil v Germany @ 12/1 2 units
As previously explained - the golden boot needs around 6 goals. There are 5 matches before the semi's to get 6 goals. In the last eight tournaments 2 1/2 Golden boots have not reached the semi's ( The half being Solenko in 1994. ) I make the odds on this bet around 3/1 but we are being offered better - so based on the odds
Player to win Golden Boot and team not to reach the semi's Yes @ 5/1 2 units
( My beer bet selections will follow before the tournament starts )

England to beat Argentina with one goal clearly scored by hand @ 1986/1
Beer allocations
I have seen Peru a couple of times and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The odds of 17/10 for qualification from Group C look about right - but - surely France should cruise the group which means we can get Peru to qualify at much better odds
Group C Finishing positions
1) France 2) Peru @ 31/10
While on the subject of 1) and 2) The group most suited looks like Group D so
Group D
1) Argentina 2) Croatia @ 7/4
And we are also invited to predict 1) - 4) Anyone thinking of trying this on Group H should immediately seek medical attention!!
Best looking group for this is
Group E
1) Brazil 2) Switzerland 3) Serbia 4) Costa Rica @ 3/1

Group H looks impossible to call and the books agree with qualifying from the group ranging from 7/20 to 2/1. My beers need better than 2/1 which gives me
Japan to be eliminated in last 16 @ 3/1
Tadic was in good scoring form at the end of the EPL season and he probably needs only one goal for this bet to land
Serbia top tournament goal scorer Tadic @ 7/2
Morocco is the best African team in the tournament and they conceded NIL goals in qualifying. Coupled with Portugal's quality defence and the fact that you never see the ball when you play Spain I think Iran are in trouble. Iran scored 10 goals in their last 10 qualifying matches and - I think Mackem's Panama pick is right up there - but for the price of a fine craft beer I prefer
Team with fewest goals in the tournament Iran @ 19/2

In 2010, 8 teams did not win a single game
In 2006, 11 teams did not win a single game
In 2002, 7 teams did not win a single game
Iran & Panama not to win a game not to win a game @ 2.25 seems like a decent move
Costa Rica @ 1.70, Australia @ 1.66, South Korea @ 1.72 and Japan @2.10 or even Peru @2.50 are also tempting.
On the goal scorer I like Suarez over 2.5 goals @2

A renowned nutter, now plying his trade somewhere in Turkey, expect Pepe to be at the receiving end of a card (especially facing some of his old teammates at real Madrid).

Mackem probably has the correct take on this match but with VAR there is always a chance of Colombia's dodgy defensive tactics being picked up - and I like the odds

When I checked yesterday the referee for the Denmark v Australia match was still listed as Lahoz from La Liga ( 20 matches - 113 yellows and 7 reds ). Did the Liverpool v ManC Champion's League clash and Pep said he made up the rules as he went along. The Aussie manager is Marwijk ( Managed De Jongh at WC 2010 - remember the tackle in the final? )
A little something from the exotics
Denmark v Australia
Booking points over 5.5 @ 6/1

With these low scoring games the only thing I find interesting are the corners!
