I don't think he's nut, Billionaire ? I doubt that too to be honest, but those kinds of bets makes watching your team more worthy especially when they're doing well enough, If my country had qualify too, maybe I couldn't have gone as far as even $200, but I would have had something on the line too, just as a show support for the team, lol.

I'm sure we all would remember the infamous bet a Leicester City fan had for the club to lift the Premier League some years ago, I guess those bets are often come, for almost every team at every tournament.

I'm go to stand by my statement that Argentina's defeat was rather self inflicted, the shouldn't have been caught such terrible offside decision, it was pretty obvious what the Saudi Arabia team was doing after the first 10 minutes, but if they still fell victim for as many as 7 times for an offside trap in the first alone, then they deserve to lose the game then.

Germany too, but I really can't ignore the effort from both Saudi Arabia, and Japan, they did really and fully merited their respective victories over the football powerhouses.

We've got an 0-0 score, that's Uruguay and South Korea, both teams couldn't afford a single shot on goal, combined!

I've not done so with my captain, I also have mine on Messi and I don't think I want to take the risk of switching it to Neymar or De Bruyne either, but the substitutions have worked pretty well for me, and I don't think the captaincy should be any different.

He wasn't being a genius, It's because the FIFA fantasy rules is significantly different from that of FPL, If Valencia had not given him worthy return he would have had the chance to replace him with Harry Kane or Messi, unlike in the FPL where you only get one shot at the captain, and you can't even know if he's going to start or not in the FPL.

Japan have taken the lead, man! I'm rooting for you here, just so you know, I could careless of Germany losing their opening game of the tournament, I just hope they'll keep their composure and see this through to the end.

Here we go with another potential Saudi vs Argentina repetition, and Argentina also led at halftime, as well through a spot kick, it's all hands on deck!

EDIT: Mission Completed! Congratulations mate!

I'll have to admit now that I was wrong and his bet looks pretty solid, because Denver Nuggets have very a decent team tonight and all their starters are available but Detroit Pistons are still looking rather quite alright and so the +10 for Pistons remains a decent, I'd expect.


Morant is playing and he was doing okay-ish in the first quarter, getting involved in every part of the game, both teams are still having a go at each other, and there is nothing specifically special yet, but still match worth seeing so far.

I guess that's what we both saw coming, I'm sure more informative details will come to light over the next few days as insiders begin drop them, I'm however sure that the loses would have been incurred on both sides, I'm pretty surprised that they were able to find a common ground to terminate mutually this soon.

I would have tailed you on this one, but there are a number of players in doubt to make the tipoff, both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are said to be doubtful for the game, I don't like the chances of the Nuggets if both players misses out.

That said, I likely to only just spectate for tonight, I'm interested in seeing the Grizzlies take on Sacramento Kings, Fox and Malik Monk have been very explosive recently and such a joy to watch, so I hope Ja Morant would be fit for the game, it should be an exciting encounter.

Nice one man! Good hit! It's one of those days that it pays off to chase the bigger odds, but Argentina ML would have felt like the safest option, so I feel your pain with the other bet you had to lose, but you didn't have anything on Saudi Arabia ML @ 29 Odds, did you ?

I think we might be up for another boring goalless draw, between Poland and Mexico, Mexico have been the better side overall, but I don't think they find the breakthrough goal, and goalless draw would be in the best interest of Messi and Argentina too right ?

EDIT: Just after my post Poland seemed to have earned themselves a penalty, VAR to decide!
Yes, it was a penalty but then Ochoa denied Lewandowski from the penalty spot, Ochoa goes all missing from all possible club side football news, but shows up at the world becomes a national hero, yet again.

Yes, I think that should have been be the easy thing to do for Warriors, but I think they probably hoped the starters wouldn't have find it so difficult against the Rockets and they would still get better resting minutes, but they all played for over 35 minutes, I guess that's why the rest was probably essential for them, but I still agree that the better option would have been to play a weaker team vs Houston Rockets, then have their starters all ready for Pelicans as there would be a days rest for the whole team before their next fixture which would be LA Clippers.

I think you've finally done so, with Lautaro Martinez to score or assist against Saudi Arabia, or was the answers divided evenly across, Yes and No ?

That's the only question I believe I'd have missed so far.


They did it successfully at the end of the day, didn't they ? I'm very much disappointed that Argentina fell for every single one of them despite how experienced and exposed they are, they looked so primitive a team being caught in those margins, and it should easily have been avoided! I'm livid rn!

It's an eyesore and it left the keeper very broken for a while but I think he'll be fine really and should even be okay for the second game, because him giving them the thumbs has his being taken of the pitch shows he's conscious and I think that's what could be been the first biggest scare.

Crazy scenes right here man!

Argentina could be said to put themselves here, but regardless it's a very great tactics from Saudi Arabia, they seem to be well aware of their situation and were prepared for it!

Edit: Less than 10 minutes left to play for, and Argentina would put themselves in the worse position if they can come up without an equalizer at the very least here.

It's final! the biggest upset so far, and probably the biggest will see in this tournament!

Messi could have had a double already but another was ruled out due to offside, and Argentina could have been easily up by 6 goals or more just at halftime, the players just needed gotten their run timing right, I really can't believe Argentina are getting themselves so caught up easily with these offside calls, by a fairly inexperienced Saudi Arabian side.

We should be up for some more goals in the second half, I guess right ?

It was indeed going to be a trap, Kevon Looney was the only player from Warriors to be available for the game, and the New Orleans Pelicans have taken complete control of the game, and it's whooping 24 points lead for Pelicans at just halftime, and there is absolutely this Warriors roster can get a thing off this game, we could see total blow win for the New Orleans Pelicans, I really don't understand why Steven Kerr didn't choose to rest his stars yesterday and have them all in for today, I believe that the Pelicans are a much more better team than Rockets, if with their best players they couldn't get a convincing win against Houston Rockets, I wonder they had hope to do it against a healthy Pelicans side.

Also the Miami Heat who were +9.5 underdogs vs the Minnesota Timberwolves have also taken a double digit lead into the halftime, I really don't know if they'll allow get the Timberwolves also pull am come here today, but I doubt the chance with Bam Adebayo having a good time out there on the court.

I like your Boston Celtics, although the actual spread at -5.5, I think still is good enough value for banking on the Boston Celtics, especially with Marcus Smart back in the squad, It can't get any easier to want choose to place a bet on.

I like the Heat against the Timberwolves, I think the Heat +9.5 Odds is really great as well, I know the Heat are still short manned, but they really aren't that bad, tbvh.

I actually thought I've over played my hand with going for predicting England 3-0 win, because Iran have been a highly defensive team in most competition even without scoring many goals themselves, they still usually managed to keep the damage minimal when they're on the losing side.


Just 1 close result for me and result in 4 games, I really never imagined I had Qatar to win over Ecuador, and I was very convinced I had it the other way  round, until I checked the pool.

I don't think Denmark are one of the dark horses to be honest, I rate them quite highly, I think I'll have them finish ahead of France in their group, if the match between both of them will be the determining factor, I don't expect them to drop by any standard below what they displayed in the qualifiers.

Except they get Argentina in the next phase, I see them getting to the Quarter finals almost hassle-free.

I just hoped those parties with the initial allegations of matches fixation can finally bury their miserable heads in shame, but their several wrong conceptions and general controversies about every other aspect that surrounds football and it's socialization that are barred way too late and it's almost like a premeditated actions given how close those new restrictions were put in place despite the heavy advertisement.
