Brazil yesterday was the biggest surprise of this tournament and I don't think we will see a bigger surprise than this from the other games.Brazil odd was only 1.15 and they couldn't win against one of the weaker teams of the whole tournament.I hope Argentina will win tonight.

Brazil had 3 goals disallowed by VAR, crazy. All 3 were correct decisions though.

No clear favourite to win this tournament, both Brazil & Argentina dropping points & looking beatable. We could have a surprise in this years Copa.

I guess there will be changes once we get to the knockout phase of the tournament, Brazil is still looking beatable, however.

As for Argentina it will remain to be seen if they will advance to the next stage, I'm more tending towards Uruguay, but the first matches cannot guarantee anything.

lost tons yesterday thanks to that draw , was expecting tons of goals so my bets were involving Brazil hanicaps , Brazil totals and match totals
only two bets landed were Under 4.5 cards and both teams not to score

judging the last two matches of Brazil I can see obviously that they are struggling , yeah they are controlling the match ( against two much weaker teams ) but they are lacking of real strikers
so far the strikers were really bad IMO , failing to translate tons of chances to goals

next match against Peru I see a lot of value in taking Peru +1.5 , of course the last two performances may shake Brazil and give them incentive to play much better football next game but honestly I don't see that

I will share my bets for Colombia vs Qatar later today , there are some decent bets for that much but I will probably just pass Argentina vs Paraguay since both of them played really bad in the last game so don't have a good idea about how this game will end

Argentina vs. Paraguay is a no bet for me as well. It is late so I can't watch it and more importantly I don't have a clue how this will end. If Argentina starts well and score a goal or two this could end as a big win for Argentina. But if they start badly they could fall apart and lose the game just as easily. If I had to bet I would chose a low scoring game with totally boring first half where both teams test the opposition strength.

You guys made me regret a simple parlay I had today with the favourites in both Copas against one in the Concacaf. It's a small bet but at the time I thought 1.5x was a good pad as I feel like Aguero/Messi surely can't stay scoreless for this game, they'll try everything and at least come away with a slim win.

I'm still toying with a Qatar outright for over 11/1. I really liked their game the other day, they very nearly got the win too, but for some reason the pitch/atmosphere or SOMETHING got them really stuck in the game. I don't know enough about them or their tactics but I really like what I'm able to see so far.

I also love how Qatar played during their last match, but I won't be placing any bet on them at least not tonight.

I'll only be betting on Argentina vs Paraguay match because of what's at stake for the Argentines, they are currently offered @ 1.485 to win at full-time and 2.38 on - 1.5 handicap on my favorite sportsbook.

I'm taking Argentina -1.5 @ 2.38

[SyGambler]

ok ok ok
made tons of bets and all depend on how Colombia will do today , so it will be a huge upswing or downswing
colombia -1 X1.500
colombia -1.5 X1.98
over 2.5 goals X1.79

made a lot of other bets as well , I like the under for cards and over for corners but not much BTC books offering them if you can find under 4.5 cards and over 8.5 corners for decent price

Qatar under 0.5 might be good , I saw a lot of people tipping it but personally don't  like it much

Argentina should perform good indeed , but the odds making me confused cause judging by the last game it shouldn't be that easy for Argentina to win the game
maybe both teams to score is good for that but I'm not sure

will try searching for some good judgments after the first match ends , if I find some good bets I will share here right before the match start

[Trofo]

In the end I decided to bet on both games but for small stakes. I played both to score & over 2.5 goals on both games as a double. The odds were 2.6 for each so I am seeing some value here and hoping for open games. I know I will regret this

Columbia are dominating so far with just 3 minutes left in the first half, Columbia are all over Qatar, and Qatar would be glad the scoreline remains goalless,

I'm not too sure we'll get up to 3 goals in fixture If neither team manages to score in this half.

[SyGambler]

wow just another boring game where a team is dominating the whole match but failing to score decent goals , this competition is lacking of good strikers
lucky for me I did a couple of corners bets live that kinda minimized my loss , lines for Colombia corner handicap was really good live since we can all tell that Qatar won't get more than 2 corners by just watching the first 30 minutes

I will skip the next match cause I'm not in good mood , two matches in a row with bad results from two teams who are nominated to win the trophy

If you think you're having a bad day, I placed quite a lot of bets on Argentina 

I think I'm done with hoping for a change from them, It's probably not going to happen.

[andrearz]

Argentina played badly and only got a draw against Paraguay, what's with Argentina? he has a lot of players with very good quality, is this a coach factor and strategy? or is this a factor in not being compact with Argentine players?

[leea-1334]

Sorry everyone,,, I must have not noticed this thread when it started or I would have joined and now it is too late. Actually,,, I do not know much about football in South America. Here in Asia we always know about Messi and all those samba teams from Brazil but the local leagues and even the tournaments are not so popular except for the betting people. I guess Brazil should be the favorites to win even though they did not win all the games yet? Even without Neymar it is hard to see them not win unless the teams force them to penalties. The big surprise is Argentina I guess!

Didn't watch this one... basically the only game I could watch was Qatar/Paraguay which ended 2-2, because it started early. Anything past midnight and I'll be in trouble if I watch. But seriously you're right, this tourney is obvious in the lack of killer instinct in front of goal (save for Uruguay). Also lost a string of bets in Copa, and not even 1 underdog hit yet. I find it difficult to explain what seems to be a lack of quality from the reviews I'm reading but other than the single match I watched, I can't objectively say...

I guess we should have pinged all the EPL pool players! OR maybe next times just sent them superbru invites... but I suppose not everybody appreciates spam from all the different tourneys. To be honest, I'm not knowledgeable at all about Latin American football. If not that a lot of them play in the English leagues (not to even mention La Liga!), I wouldn't know them. Thanks to the Reds, past and present, I learn a bit more about football in Africa and S America too -- a lot of great history there as well, but not much found online that's in English.

Oh and yes, Brazil are always one of the favourites but Colombia (who rained down on Qatar last night) look like they've got the ability.

Poor Argentina, they have drawn the match. It was a must win for them to keep up with the tournament. Chance is they will be out of the tournament from the first round. Colombia and Paraguay will be the next rounder from this group.

[swogerino]

Argentina played badly yesterday night,they couldn't manage to do only 2 passes with each other and this impacted their game.Paragua was indeed in a good form and they run and played better than Argentina.Argentina equalized only because of the quality of Messi and not because of a team squad play.

very disappointing, many people are betting that Argentina will win the match and spend a lot of money to bet on this but in fact Argentina lost to Paraguay.

[hahay]

Glad to see a temporary leaderboard so far because I made that prediction together at the time of the first match and until now I don't have much time to take part in the match and make bets every day. But if I look and predict for the next match about Uruguay vs Japan I think it will be a big win for Uruguay and just changed the score prediction there. Good luck all!
