Holland - Spain
And finally reaching the end of this World Cup.Holland and Spain through their performances earn their place at the final.A very difficult game to predict, because both teams having almost the same chances to win the the game and the cup.Both teams having a attacking mentality at their game play.Any prediction stands for this game.
Main Pick : 2 or 3 goals Odds : 2.00
Uruguay - Germany 2 - 3
Both teams at the start of the tournament didn't having so much hopes of getting so far but manage to get very close to the final.If you ask me which team i think is more disappointed of not being in the final ,i'll answer Germany .Uruguay only the fact that plays today is a huge accomplishment .Germany has to "make" the game today and not only defend like did with
Germany - Spain 0 - 1
The second semi final today.Germany wasn't the one of the favorites at the start of the tournament . Some times, to play simple football is better than anything.This for me is the key of Germany's success so far in the tournament.I was expecting Spain to reach the semi finals but i was hoping to play more convincing football.Very difficult game to predict
Main bet Pick :
Uruguay - Holland 2 - 3
The first semi-final between two great but deferent schools of football.The latin but rough school of Uruguay against the tactical minded ( with very skilled players) of Holland.I agree with the most that Holland is the clear favorite of the game
Main betPick : Holland Odds : 1.70 Bookmaker : Unibet
Other picksPick : Holland -1 (Asian Handicap) Odds : 2.30
Argentina- Germany 0 - 4
It's one of the games that easy could be the final of the tournament.Always on such games is more a subjective prediction than usual .Each team has their weak and strong points .Even a small detail could determine the outcome.

Paraguay - Spain 0 - 1
Holland - Brazil 2 - 1
It is not going to be an easy game for Brazil.Holland has the quality as a team and the players to give Brazil a hard time.
Pick : Holland (draw no bet) Odds: 3.00 Bookmaker : Bet365
Uruguay - Ghana 1 - 1
Ghana is the last African team in the tournament.Uruguay manage to get in quarter finals by playing very tight at back and getting advantage of counter attacks.A
Germany - England 4 - 1
Every prediction stand for this game.My feeling tells me England,but then again is just a feeling...Even a small detail can turn the game to either side.

WHAT I WAS THINKING...!!!!
Argentina - Mexico 3 - 1
Argentina is the
Some says that the real World Cup is starting after the group round and a agree with that...Every mistake count and there is no chance to get even on the next game .
Uruguay - South Korea 2 - 1
In my opinion is a game between about two almost equal teams.Uruguay has more physical and skilled players and S.Korea has more speed as a teamUruguay maybe look like the favorite for the win but the
Portugal - Brazil 0 - 0
Open game between two teams with attacking mentality
Pick : Over Odds : 2.35 Bookmaker : Bet365
North Korea - Ivory Cost 0 - 3
Ivory Cost is better team .The heavy defeat 7-0 from Portugal is not a easy thing to get over for North Korea.
Pick : 2 or 3 goals Odds : 2.05 Bookmaker : Bet365
Switzerland - Honduras 0 - 0
Switzerland must win this game and has
Holland - Cameroon 2 - 1
Cameroon after the two defeats has nothing to hope,then to leave the tournament with a good result over the already qualified Holland.Regardless the two wins Holland didn't play the football that most of us hoping to see.I expect a good open game that could lead to a big score
Pick : Over Odds : 2.00 Bookmaker : Betsson Unibet Bet365
Denmark - Japan 1 - 3
The speed and the constant running during the match saved Japan so far.Today has to play against ,to my opinion, a better team that need the win to qualify . Denmark has the potential to take the win on a not a easy game though.
Pick : Denmark Odds : 2.30 Bookmaker : Unibet
Slovakia - Italy 3 - 2
Ok Italy doesn't seems to have the solid team that had in the past but it is still Italy.Italy will take the win one way or the other
Pick : Italy -1 (Asian Handicap) Odds : 2.15 Bookmaker : Bet365
Paraguay - New Zealand 0 - 0
Paraguay is a very good,well organized and skilled team.Maybe could became the "surprise" of the tournament (for me is until now).New Zealand very physical kind of play and nothing more....

Correct scores : [2-0] Odd : 5.50 [3-0] Odd : 8.50 Bet365
France - South Africa 1 - 2
The are no words to describe how a team with such a players could play so bad.Yes i talk about France who 99% will leave South Africa this week.Usualy the host team advance from the first round ,but this is not the case here.Open game between two teams that need the win for deferent reasons.I still believe that France will leave the tournament with a win ,on a very
Mexico - Uruguay 0 - 1
Great chance for both teams to qualify to next round.They only need the draw point to leave out of the tournament the host S.Africa and France.Ok is the probable result to come, even though this kind of games can make you loose all your money.I only remind you that with a draw Mexico will play Argentina on the knock out round...!!I'll go against the stream on this with a
Greece - Argentina 0 - 2
After a great come back with Nigeria,Greece has to face (already qualified) Argentina on a difficult challenge .Maradona will make a lot of changes at the squad but will leave Messi on .Greece will play with 5-4-1 and will try to get the most ,on a game that has only to win from.
Medium riskPick : 2 or 3 total goals Odds: 2.00 Bookmaker : Bet365
Nigeria - South Korea 2 - 2
Nigeria is one of the teams that disappointed everyone at this World Cup.Very undisciplined on their tactics ,against S.Korea who is the opposite and very fast team with their players run and press for 90 minutes.Nigeria having the last chance of big their people the joy of a win.S.Korea is very close to qualify to the next round ,so their players will be more
After a break over the weekend ,back to bussiness
Spain - Honduras 2 - 0
Spain has no chances to spare on this. The unexpected defeat from Switzerland made the next two games vital for Spain,starting from today's game.Spain has to come strong from the first minute not only to take the win,but also to score as much goal as possible .
Pick : Spain - 2 (Asian Handicap) Odds : 1.85 Bookmaker :
Germany - Serbia
Germany was the most impressive team ,at least before yesterday, in the World Cup .With simple ,but very productive football got the win from the Australia .Serbia disappointed first match,underestimated Ghana and lost .This game is very different for both teams.It's not a easy game for Germany .Serbia has the players, who if they put their skill under the team benefit.
High risk
My impressions after the first matches of the groups are not the best.Not very good football and disappointed performances from teams that most of us expected better.I expect that things gonna change and game by game teams will find the motivation to perform better.
Argentina - South Korea 4 - 1
Argentina get the win from Nigeria (1-0) on a match that the final score could easy by 3-1 or even
Spain - Switzerland 0 - 1
There is no doubt that Spain is the best European team and for most one of the favorites of taking the cup.Switzerland is a good team but nothing special.
Pick : Spain -1.5 (asian handicap) Odds : 2.10 Bookmaker : Bet365
Honduras - Chile 0 - 1
Chile and Switzerland will fight for the second place of the group.Chile must win this
Pick : Draw/Chile (Half/Full
Nothing worth of betting today.Still i 'm very cautious with my bets, until the end of the first matches of the all the groups.Then i 'll have a better view of all the teams and what they are capable of doing on this tournament .
Without to many words today
Holland - Denmark 0 - 2
Holland having one of the best teams in the tournament.
Pick : Holland -1 (Asian Handicap) Odds : 1.975 Bookmaker : Bet365
Japan - Cameroon 1 - 0
Japan with problem on scoring against Cameroon who is not the team is used to be .
I expect a tight game ,with Cameroon having a small advantage
Pick : Cameroon Best Odd : 2.10
Algeria - Slovenia 0 - 1
Very close match against two teams that no one expected to be in the World Cup but won their places by leaving out of the tournament Egypt and Russia.Algeria will have the continental advantage but Slovenia has better team ,with players playing in high lever club all over Europe.After the England's draw the today match is a must win for both teams.
Pick : Slovenia
South Korea - Greece 2 - 0
Very important game for both teams for a lot of reasons.Its their first game and both teams wants to start the competition without a defeat.On this group 3 teams will fight hard for the second place (Argentina will not lose the first place) Greece,Nigeria and S.Korea having almost the same chances.
Greece will try to be very solid at the back and try to look for a

The first match of the group stage sets the tone, and a win or at least a point is vitally important. For both
You ask me why i don't post anything lately .I thing that the answer is obvious .When you don't find anything worth to bet your money at ,then the wisest thing is not to bet at all.We all waiting for World Cup to start so is better to save our money for that....Two bets today with very small wager....

Both teams with the dreams shattered ,still have to play 2 more games.Olympiakos psychology hit the buttom, after the defeat from PAOK has to win this today Aris with many problems also,has to play missing at least 5 key players.An important fact for this match is that Aris away lost all the games from the big clubs this season.Low risk

Olympiakos - AEK 2 - 1For Greek play-off
Olympiakos 5 points , AEK 2 points
Olympiakos after the defeat from Aris, lost the starting advantage that he had when play-off started.Critical game for Olympiakos and a must win game ,against AEK who looks that don't have the right motivation to challenge the first place of play-offs that leads to Champions League qualification stage.Still a tight game
