2018 World Cup discussion and information thread

What a night of qualifiers. Wales and Israel had some really close calls on Giants vs Underdogs, and poor old Italy got shown up by Macedonia. Anyone who took hold on draw predictions on all three, or even handicap underdog selections would have taken home a big bag of cash.

Makes me wonder if there's any value in tonight's disproportionate match ups:
1. Estonia vs Gibraltar. Gibraltar is expected to lose heavily, but a draw puts you @8.08. Can add a hedge split on +2.75 @ 1.86
2. Luxemburg vs Sweden. Lux held the Italians, so why not again? Draw at @20.37 is very good value to me.

What do you think?

Wales won 1-0 yesterday and now they are second in Group D, one point behind leaders Serbia and one ahead of third-placed Republic of Ireland with one game to play. Without Bale it will be hard to beat Republic of Irland

It seems like this will attract a match that can be said to make the audience surprised,I wait for the next wales match.you're right sign if without a bale will not be easy against irlandia,strong enough players who galvanized by senior coach M. O'Neill

To be honest, that was a ugly win for Wales but yeah win is a win, 3 points for Wales. For the next match Wales versus Ireland, it will be a tough match for Wales, Ireland record is never lose so far but Ireland away match is not that good and home advantage for Wales. Is bale already confirmed can't play on that match ?

Belarus vs Netherlands, seeing netherland can win their last game, I think they can qualify for the world cup through the play-offs. netherlands -2

It's a lot of news to say that Bale will not be able to play, but I still have not found any official information. It would be so bad if Bale could not be played, would Wales have to bet by playing little boys like Woodburn to replace Bale? It must be very difficult to do. But whoever becomes a substitute for Bale, he must be ready to bear the burden.

Switzerland will take on Hungary in Group B today, Hungary are standing at the 3rd place in the group having just 10 points, this would meant Hungary already stand no chance to make it to Russia in the 2018 World Cup. Switzerland did perform extremely well in Group B with 8 wins from 8 games played, with home ground advantage, I believe it will be an another easy victory for Switzerland today.

actually i'm not really good for predict international matches and my betting results from that is not so good too
but today i would bets small amount to avoid huge losses and for fun and here is my pick below

Sweden vs Luxembourg Sweden win
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Belgium Belgium win
Belarus vs Netherlands Netherlands win
Bulgaria vs France France win

but i separated it for single bet and i don't dare pick all of them into the parlay although mostly
my pick for big teams but international matches sometimes provide us unpredictable results

What a match by Iceland. They beat Turkey away 3-0 to climb to the top of the table above Croatia. Iceland play against Kosovo in 3 days in Iceland and they will win since Kosovo is the weakest team in the group and won't resist against them. The dream is turning to reality for Iceland people. After a great performance in the last Euro, some said Iceland qualified to the quarter final by chance. Today, they answered the criticism since they are one step away from Russia.
Too sad to see Italia struggle to qualify. Poor performance today against an average team Macedonia. They need to start making real decisions to fix the current situation.

Iceland is certainly first in the group if they win over Kosovo,and this is 3 points they can add in advance.They play brave and offensive football and they certainly deserve to go to the world championship.Great disappointment in this group is Croatia which failed to win Finland and now they go in Ukraine to try to fight for the playoffs with new coach who will try to boost team.

Tonight will be intersting in game Bulgaria vs France where France is fight for first place with Sweden.Bulgaria is without captain Ivelin Popov, Ivaylo Chochev and Alexander Tonev.For France Mendy, Koscielny and Dembele are out for tonight game.There is some rumor that some fans will try to to interrupt the game because they are not in good relations with bulgarian football federation.

Weather conditions are bad,it's raining for some time and it will be very cold tonight.Bulgaria have some chances to catch second spot and they will try to attack,France also need to win in this game.

My prediction is Both Teams to Score or maybe a correct score option 0-1.

I look further Argetina is in big danger,thay can even not qualify to barage.Thay have to win and wait on result Columbia-Peru game.It will be shock if Argentina will not.qualify.His coach will have to escape otherwise  fans will hang him.It could be  last Messi Mundial if Argentina will qualify

[FasTroy]

Today we see a very good game in Africa- world cup qualification 2018
Guinea vs Tunisia , It's a very good match and Tunisia won 4-1 and increased their chance to go to the world cup. There is still one more match against Libya, Win or draw can allow Tunisia to go to the World cup.

Really great game from Switzerland as they completely destroying Hungary today. No wonder they have the lead of the group right now. I expect a great game between Portugal and Switzerland on the 10th of October, and it will be a great test for the current Europe Champions. If Switzerland actually manages to defeat Portugal again in the group, they should be considered a very strong team for the World Cup.

Sweden vs Luxembourg was a colossal mismatch, with a final scoreline of 8-0. France is playing well in this group, but Sweden can still catch up. And if it comes to goal difference, then this result will surely help.

We (Serbia) lost from Austria (3:2) on Friday's night. That result dissapointed more than 20.000 Serbs on the stands of the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, who came to cheer their national team... What a shame. We wasted first match point to win ticket for Russia, but on Monday we will have another, against Georgia. I hope everything passes well, and we can cheer our national team in Russia!

Serbia could have qualified for the World Cup, but now they will have to wait and see. It would have been disappointed to be defeated by Austria, who are already eliminated. Now it is a 3 way contest between Serbia, Wales and Ireland.

Yes, but Serbia is hosting Georgia. That shouldn't be too hard. Only problem will be pressure they will have since whole nation expects them to win...

France taking the three points home from Bulgaria with a small 1-0 win makes them closer to qualifying. The host Bilarusia in the next round and should be an easy win due to the difference of players quality and the goals since France eyes are on qualifying and Bilarusia is just playing the last match with no motivation because they are out of the competition.
Holland is going through a crisis because they need to claim a 6-0 win against Sweden which looks impossible obviously with this performance. Too bad to see a great name like Holland suffering like that.

Exactly. Everything is in Serbian team hands(legs) now. Bad performance they showed in match against Austria but as you said, Georgia is coming in Belgrade, it should be easy. From the other hand, it is always hard to win the match that you have already won (in your head off course).

Well, Serbia still at the top of the group though. I'm pretty sure Serbia will qualify to the world cup in Russia, their next match against Georgia will be an easy win I think. If you look at the odds on that match, Serbia is heavily favourite on that match with 1.12 odds. Good luck for Serbia mate.

Belarus vs Netherlands, seeing netherland can win their last game, I think they can qualify for the world cup through the play-offs. netherlands -2

netherland if want second placed in group, last match meet sweden must win
but i think netherland can win because play in home, super big match, sweden only need draw to get second placed in group
