World Cup 2018

have a great chance to stamp some authority today. Could look like the winners if they perform and even become market leaders.

how much money could we make if we back penalty taken in every game.... should have saw that coming!

[spreadbetting]

Certainly getting a load of penalties via the VAR, they're being very lenient in granting them

[Euler]

That would seem to lend itself to see value on overs

[Dallas]

It was supposed to be used in situations where the ref has made a clear/obvious mistake but looking at some of the pens, in particular, it seems like its being used to award where ever a foul etc is committed no matter how small

[cyxstudio]

That would seem to lend itself to see value on overs

that would prob be true for club football as we assume that teams want to attack all the time.

But in this world cup all i see is teams finding one goal then happy to just sit back once they find it. That 1 penalty goal might just seal the game.

50% people here voted for Germany. I doubt they will win the cup as their team is not it was in world cup 2014.
They had senior leadership of Philipp Lahm backed by the tactical approach of Schweinsteiger.
I am on the internet right now and waiting for Francs vs Peru to start. I am supporting France because they deserve a chance to play the final.

[Dallas]

Really wanting Peru to get a win here

[SeaHorseRacing]

4/5 games so far have been absolutely awful and who whould have thought France was in both imo.

[Naffman]

The diving has almost ruined this world cup imo

[Korattt]

not exactly a fan of the Virtually Awful Refereeing system, think decisions even themselves out over the season, takes out the excitement of the game, & it ain’t exactly reliable, (France penalty that never was against Australia)

France weren’t convincing earlier, Argentina ditto tonight

[ShaunWhite]

the Virtually Awful Refereeing system, think decisions even themselves out over the season,

But not in a knockout tourney.

Decisions have been quick so far but the refs are leaning on it a bit much. Not bad for early days though. I like it.

Argentina making Lovren look like a competent reliable defender
Yep, got the Argies in the sweep in work, kiss of death.

[mcgoo]

Got up early here.Argies looked crap to me.Got out for 50% loss ........just before the second Croatia goal
