I'm not sure.
No matter what he'll still be cheering on the French for everyone else.
"What a top bloke"

Still got some going.

I've made a few humby out of the World Cup so far though and getting a free shirt so can't be unhappy with that.

Just on Henry, it's more to do with the system/style the French side play. He doesn't get the chance to drop deep or drift out wide etc in the French system. And I've always maintained he can't play in the same side as Zidane. ZZ fills a lot of the roles Henry does at Arsenal.

Not having a dig Mac - just reminding you of your early Czech-love.

I laughed at your Czech/Portugal final prediction, but clearly for the wrong bloody reason! I thought Portugal would be the one to fall over early.

Czechs were just a casualty of a tough group in the end. They were awesome against the USA. Then they came up against a red hot Ghana who may have beaten anyone that night, not much going right for the Czechs either. Which made it hard against Italy who they played better than for the first 20 minutes befire conceding a goal. Then before half time they had a man sent off. They tried hard in the second half, but ended up being picked off by a counter attack goal. They weren't that far away from the second round.

Won 35 today with Cahill being Aussie's top goal scorer, shallow victory though..

Tonight I got $10 on Spain @ $2.28

F me...you got a 227-1 shot up and a 145-1 shot up?
Macca...thats one of your best.
Shame you dont put a minimum of 10 on ur bets!

 

[Macca_]

:lol: I know.

Only playing around with small ones. Never been a big punter. Putting $20 on something is big enough for me

Got a few more of those roughies rolling now. The baseball is looking good to get me down to the WC on the weekend.

I'd have to be up around $700 on the world cup and also to recieve a free WC shirt from the centrebet promo. Going good (touch wood)

 

[juggalo_strit]

Well done Macca.

 

[Macca_]

:thumb more to come yet

My bad.

 

[Tom Shines]

Turned my measly winnings so far ($45.10) into Italy/Ukraine less than three goals to take the tally up to $64.94.

If the Ukranians get up, I'm in front. Else, I've paid retail for a Socceroos jersey... :-(

 

[Stelios Giannakopoulos]

I'm $4 down this world cup. what a watse of time:lol:

Let's hit the pub boys, Macca's shout:lol::lol:

 

[Macca_]

I'm in for that. Has to be one of my locals though

I take it youre going to dislike Italy even more now, unless you got something back because it was exactly 3 goals!?

 

[juggalo_strit]

Well i'm in front.
I still have $20 on England alive.

 

[Macca_]

Got France at $11 earlier this morning for the whole thing.

 

[juggalo_strit]

That's a good price Macca.
Why couldn't the bloody French play like this in there group games.
I would of been a bit more richer.
