FIFA World Cup 2018 Russia - the Journey

[Sithara007]

I'm still struggling to find a sports package I can afford since my national TV will only broadcast very few games, towards the finals and with local commentary and poor quality which I don't really enjoy.

Anyone know a good place to buy streaming packages of high quality English language? Searching online isn't very helpful or I don't know how to find them.

You haven't mentioned the most important thing. Your location. Unless we know where you reside, it is impossible to give any advice. In some countries, streaming is available from multiple sources, while in some others none is available.

All major national television stations are broadcasting the World Cup for free. Have you checked your local TV stations? If none is covering the World Cup that would be very odd by the way.

Onto today's matches. Japan - Panama. I think England will win this one comfortably. I like Harry Kane to score a goal today.

Japan - Senegal. Japan and Senegal beat the favorites surprisingly and whoever wins today qualifies for the next round. I think both teams will try to not lose and play carefully. I am going with HT 0-0 and FT draw.

Poland - Colombia. The group favorites are facing each other today. I am going to bet on Poland due to the much higher odds of 3.70. I think the game could go either way so I am betting on the higher odds. Also Poland 0.5 AH for more safety.

I don't think you need to pay to watch World Cup it's broadcast for free on all channels or speak with your cable guys they should be able to handle it for you. I have never heard that you need to pay for it, so I think you should just keep calm and figure it out.

I don't think both will play for a draw a 1 -0 result looks promising but I don't feel comfortable on guessing who it'll be.

Poland is everyone's favourite hope they live up to it.

I got 2 of my predictions right today ( the 0-0 HT result in the Japan - Senegal match was wrong but the FT bet made up for it) and I was way off with my Poland hunch lol  To be honest I think Poland is the worst European team and apparently Lewandowski unlike Ronaldo can't carry the Polish team on his shoulders alone.

They have many good players that are rated high but they just can't work well together. For instance to buy Lewandowski you'd have to trade half of the Senegal's team, but they managed to win. It proves that it's all a gamble and you can't really predict the outcome based on the team's rating.

The problem is that Robert Lewandowski can't be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo. I would rate the latter as the best player in the world right now and he can single-handedly guide his team to a win against major opponents. But Lewandowski doesn't have that talent.

[Wendigo]

I think Robert Lewandowski is the footballer who scored the most goals for Poland in the qualifying for the World Cup and he is also the all-time leading goal scorer for his country. He actually set a new goalscoring record with his 16 goals. Unfortunately for him and his team he has problems showing up in big games apparently. The whole team looked awful though and a lot has changed since Euro 2016.

It is England vs Panama today and let’s sees for a tough match and interesting match because after the match of Argentina vs Croatia we can not say about the dominancy anymore because that was an upset. Now today it is going to be an interesting match between England and Panama and especially the audience is very energetic about this game, I will watch on TV and will enjoy it.

Some highlights for the Iceland - Croatia match. Reportedly the manager of the Croatia national football team is going to rest some key players for tonight's game. Flashscore is showing 7 players. I am not sure how true that information is but I think given the circumstances Iceland might score a goal or even get a point or 3 from the match at best. Maybe Croatia will not play very hard and give them a pass who knows. I for sure will have a couple of bets going on Iceland most likely in the goal and AH markets. Cheers guys

It can be hard for Iceland to perform well against Croatia, after their brutal loss to Nigeria. And I am sure that Argentina will not qualify for the next round, as long as Jorge Sampolli remains as their coach.

That remains to be seen. Nigeria, Iceland and Argentina all have chances to advance to Round of 16. Nigeria needs a draw while Iceland and Argentina need wins. The most unrealistic scenario tonight would be Iceland winning their match and Argentina drawing theirs which would send the Vikings to the next round. I am rooting for Iceland either way   I don't think it's the manager's fault that Argentina are playing so bad but the players'. However Iceland would need to beat Croatia with at least a 3 goal difference which is borderline impossible haha

Group D is very interesting Croatia already qualified for next round and remaining 3 teams have a chance to take 2nd place in the group. only a few hours left Argentina have a last chance to stay alive in this tournament I think this is Messi last world cup match. I have full confidence that they can give up and go home.

[Wendigo]

Damn Argentina what lucky schmucks you are  And that Turkish referee blatantly supported Argentina in the last 20 minutes or so after Rojo handled the ball in the penalty area. Don Diego Maradona luckily spared himself a heart attack in the stands lol. I think France will tear them a new one in the next round though.

[coinfinger]

Anybody thinking about having a bet on the top scorer for the tournament?
I was thinking about having a bit of a long shot which has good odds like Suarez, Firmino or Gabriel Jesus. Even Thomas Muller has some nice odds.

I think it’s too obvious to go for the likes of Messi, it never works out that way any way.

I'm still thinking about it , I may actually go for James Rodríguez
the thing about the top scorer is that you should look at both the price and the teams competing in group stage , and it looks like an easy group when you look to Colombia group since the teams are kinda weak and not defensive so we should expect goals
that's what bookieinsiders also mentioned , and the price of James is 75/1 which is really a decent shot

I'm loving the excitement and buildup towards the World Cup, do you'll feel Ramos could be booed what he did to Salah and Liverpool keeper? Both of them suffered injuries and Ramos latest statement was bit harsh. It's really difficult to pick a top goal scorer so early, will prefer to wait and watch before I decide to pick one.

So my picks are Spain, Germany, France what about you'll?

Including Portugal on the first place in FIFA world cup because they seem in more spirit and the club of Ronaldo has been the champion of many times previously. So they are in good position and the recent FIFA matches also proving its ability and potential. We can not say that which one team will win but I choose Portugal as my best team but I see Brazil as well besides Portugal.

A very dramatic day awaits us today with more crucial final matches in the Groups F & E of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.
Mexico is leading Group F with 6 points from 2 wins. Germany & Sweden have 3 points each. I expect Germany to win vs South Korea today and Mexico to not lose vs Sweden. Germany -2 and Mexico +0 are my choices. I will wait for more news and post picks for the later matches as well.

[glider101]

What a shocker today will be if Germany can not defeat the Koreans who are such a poor team.
I dont even think S. Korea would be able to score on the championship German team but maybe today on this one.

What a thrilling match and all credits go to Rojo, man where did you come from you made Argentina proud in this match. yes Nigeria had a chance to get one more penalty at the end but referee not given bad luck for Nigeria. I thought Argentina will go home but they are really lucky qualified for next round congrats.

He can go for an IP tunnel if ever that his location is unable to be streaming, and if he is currently have a international channel he can request for a provider for a sports channel FIFA World Cup is big and I doubt that any sports channel won't be playing each game of the series even some local sports channel will be playing most of the game.

Messi's goal was amazing, the way he balanced the ball, excellent control while in motion then the aim to score it between the goalkeeper's hands, insane. Maybe Messi can recover from all the criticisms he's had, he was falling into pressure, let's hope this is the beginning of a better Argentina.

I would like to see Portugal vs Argentina to see Cristiano vs Messi, that would be awesome for all football fans, even if your country is not involved in the match.

[Wendigo]

Holy smokes this World Cup is going absolutely crazy! South Korea played for their honor with grit and determination and threw out a very weak Germany. I have no words. And on top of that Sweden defeated Mexico 3-0 and finished in the first place of the group. Fascinating 
My predictions are way off today haha.

We have 2 matches in Group E tonight. Serbia - Brazil & Switzerland - Costa Rica. Brazil and the Swiss have 4 points and the Serbs have 3. Serbia have to win their match in order to advance further. I am gonna play Brazil to win & both teams to score. I like BTTS in the 2nd game. Good luck everyone!
