Fifa World Cup, June and July Football

Not watched enough of this tournament to post regular bets because of the time zone difference. Have caught around 20% of the matches and it strikes me that the South Americans and some of the Africans look much fresher then the Europeans. Watched the full Germany v Ecuador match and thought Ecuador were full value for the win. Saw Mexico v us and see no reason why Ecuador cannot progress.

Yes Vin top effort from Bafana, improved with every game since that really poor opening performance. 

South Africa vs Canada, Sunday Round of 32 preview is available here  

Both halves under 1.5 total goals at 21/20 with  Lucky Fish

great call chris, never in doubt, especially with bafana for some reason just so reluctant to play, when williams was just standing with the ball on box on numerous occasions it really felt like an odd tactic. I can see Broos was hoping his side could catch canada on the break, but really feel bafana did not make use of some talented attacking players in squad with approach this world cup. a big shame, great to make history, but canada were very beatable last night.

Well played Chris. Agree South and confirmed by the way Bafana suddenly looked like they could play football after conceding. 

Yeah not sure what to make of Bafana last night, certainly improved from that awful opening game but Canada no world beaters and seemed like the only plan was to knock it across the defence and draw them out.

Having a first outright winner bet for tournament -

Columbia @ 33/1

in the bottom half of draw with Argentina who they drew with and beat in World Cup qualifiers. Been playing some really attacking football in pool stages and I do feel the sides willing to gamble will come out on top vs those being too defensive.
