⚽⚽⚽ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk World Cup 2022 - discussion ⚽⚽⚽

[KTChampions]

I don't agree with this at all. All top leagues aren't even to the half way mark, meaning players should be way more ready and less tired for this WC then in usual time after whole season has ended. Problems will come in few months time when leagues plus euro cups will be in full swing and players that played in Qatar start feeling that extra fatigue and muscle injuries become even more frequent.

Yes, it will be a typical end of the season, but this time it will be exaggerated several times over. Teams with shallow roster depth that end up losing to more solid opponents every year may find themselves in a deeper crisis than usual this year. I'm not talking about complete outsiders (which, on the contrary, have now received additional rest), but about middle peasants and predtops whichs players play in the national teams.

expected more from Croatia, thought that @2.25 is value bet, but Morocco is solid team, hard to play against
in the end, match was pretty boring

will be interesting fight for next round, Belgium is there, Canada probably without chances, but win over them will be crucial for all three other teams in the group

on to Germany, what they are good for?

I'd say that Germany should have no problem against Japan, but we have seen in the last few matches that there are many surprises. I don't follow Japan but if I'm not mistaken, there are also pretty fast players in Japan. Maybe they can surprise Germany and secure at least one point.

[Popkon6]

Japan vs Germany today's game is very contested.  Germany scored a goal but so far the 65 minutes of running time have been heavily attacked by Germany.  No more attacks succeed.  Meanwhile, Japan are offside when they attack because I think they are not very experienced in the game of football.  Because I saw three attacks on Japan but three attacks were oxides.  But Japan should play a bit more cautiously to check the oxides.

...//...::,,,
Also, for the fastest goal question Australia(9min) is currently in the lead and then Argentina(10min).

I have a feeling that I'm not going to do very well with the Quiz, although we could already have an idea by looking at the spreadsheet, but there isn't much extra time as if several teams have had it in this early stage of the game.

Writing to them Thomas Müller comes out in the 67th minute (minimum 60: 1 point) so adding up for whoever took it.

With chances-quiz still to a couple more points, I have Belgium with the fastest goal... and another one question wiht Brazil-Neymar I think..

Oh!...Shit!!

Ger: 1Vs JPN2 (o...=)
another nice result for football

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 ?

Thanks! It didn't really help as I lost a lot more on Argentina in other big accas, but now Japan just equalised so I might get another bit of help as I've got Japan... Minamino assist and my man of the tournament Ritsu Doan, so nice to see my 2 fav Japanese players get on that goal!

And no not Saudi, unfortunately, they aren't even good in Asia Cup... they were 40/1 at HT too (sobs).

Who would guess that Saudi Arabia will be first in Group C after first round?  

Not me. I like underdogs but this was 39-game unbeaten Argentina with an in-form Messi... oh well

4/5 correct answers so far  buwaytress must be proud

Ruined by Lautaro not knowing how to play offside traps

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!

Much more fun today in World Cup matches today and you got your wish for underdogs to win in game between Germany and Japan.
Something strange that Germany also had a lead in first half but they lost the match in the end, someone could earn a lot of money with bet like that.
Spain was amazing against Costa Rica with seven goals, if they continue like this they are moving up as big favorites.

[ralle14]

From group F you are the member who has the most correct answers so far with 4 correct answers and the other three members have 3 correct answers, there are still 5 answers left for which we are waiting for the results and there are two days for us see the result

The second half of the questions can still put you guys at the top spot since my predictions for questions 6 and 7 are kind of looking dead.

Spain taking the lead for the most goal question after that 7-0 win against Costa Rica and 5 players can potentially secure that point unless another team surprises us with 8 or more goals.  

Also thank you for the tag.

Two Asian teams were able to make a surprise by defeating the European giants, Saudi Arabia managed to beat Argentina with a score of 2-1, Japan also managed to beat Germany with a score of 2-1, the cause of Germany's defeat was their own doing, they underestimated the Asian team too much. Germany also protested that the rainbow captain's armband was banned, the German national team players covered their mouths when taking a team photo ahead of the world cup match, the German team was too focused on the rainbow captain's armband instead of being busy with the opposing team, so they lost to the Asian team.

the defeats of Argentina and also Germany made me a little traumatized by believing 100% in the superior team lol, they looked superior in the first round but the situation turned upside down and lost in the second round, I don't hope in the brazil vs Serbia match this time there will be a big surprise like in the Argentina match and German.

Spain is really an amazing team, they really dominated that match, even Costa Rica has "shot"= 0 and "shot on goal"= 0

I'm happy, but not as happy as that guy Steve posted about who bet $1000 on Japan outright! And fully deserved, Germany were insipid really.

Yeah, there's something to play for in live betting. Saudi 25/1 pre match and 40/1 at HT.

Japan 7/1 pre match were 15/1 at HT. Pity I only took prematch but hey, not complaining! Spain have moved up, but not by much. I really need Brazil not to fall though, as they're my pick on the outright promo.

Both of us are on a business trip from tomorrow until Sunday so we won't be fancy with the graphics until we return home.
We will update the results and make a list tomorrow, when the 1st round ends.

Travel safe, boys! Thanks for all the work you guys put in. I'll submit my picks in a bit later today.

What is happening in this year's World Cup in Qatar, truly it would be golden session among every spectator as well as among the bettors. When Argentina ended the first half with 1 goal against Saudi Arabia, the betting site had a surprise that many would hardly believe. But who knew those betting odds would turn into reality. The big changes happening in the bettors because of these two matches. Because of which i can call this World Cup different from all others.

the defeats of Argentina and also Germany made me a little traumatized by believing 100% in the superior team lol, they looked superior in the first round but the situation turned upside down and lost in the second round, I don't hope in the brazil vs Serbia match this time there will be a big surprise like in the Argentina match and German.

The three of ruled out goals by VAR really impacted the Argentina's mentality, while Germany looked like underestimating Japan. Brazil have different playing style comparing these two teams. Argentina playing with speed which it causes them to get in offside trap easily, especially with this new kind of VAR. The other team, Germany, have no great target man, causes the selfish wingers always trying to shoot anytime they get the ball. Serbia is not a bad team, but I'm sure Brazil will win even with no goals conceded.

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!

[Igebotz]

Spain taking the lead for the most goal question after that 7-0 win against Costa Rica and 5 players can potentially secure that point unless another team surprises us with 8 or more goals. 

Also thank you for the tag. 

It's already a wrap for those 5 users who predicted Spain to score the most goals, as I don't see Brazil scoring more than 7. I've been fighting my spirit for changing my first response (England) to Belgium, but I'm at peace now since Spain dropped us that classic performance yesterday, this dudds are running riot and all eyes must be on them.

The questions for the round 2 are on the following link!
Please note that the answers need to be submitted before the 1st game of the 2nd round (Wales - Iran, Friday morning CET).

oh man! what's this ? I've gone through the form for more than 4 times today and cant pick shit out of these questions. I will look at them tomorrow again.

If Argentina and Saudi Arabia play 99 times more surely Argentina will win them all, the technology is made to make the games fairer and it happened in that game, there was an out of place that honestly could only be detected that way (var) Saudi had its moment and has consolidated it.

Brazil vs. Serbia is another analysis, Serbia is a superior team to Japan and Saudi Arabia, we already had perhaps the best (for now) with Portugal vs. Ghana, the match of Bra vs. SRB can bring us a good game too, but in this case it would not be the big surprise. (OxO):FT. Bra vs. Srb.

[Ulven]

The results were surprising. I did not expect Argentina and Germany to be defeated after they were ahead of the opponent, so I did not achieve any superiority in both pools. I will work to improve my expectations for the next round.

The questions for the round 2 are on the following link!

Will we send the answer to the questions without providing our username? I noticed that you did not check the boxes for it!!!

Brasil is better than us, but it will not be a surprise if we finish with draw, or even a win, it is a much closer call, than Saudi Arabia
Japan is also a solid team, they are much better than Arabia IMO

so far, so good, Brasil attacking, we defend, but doing that good, back to second half
