Flap,
Do you know the guy in your avatar with George the Animal Steel??

not a clue. I picked it out of the list of avatars on the site. Loved watching the animal chew the stuffing out of the turn-buckle though.

Everyone on planet earth who gambles on soccer has Germany/Argentina over 2 (including me). That makes me really nervous.

I know, it is scary. I hate taking overs in soccer. I'd say 80% of my O/U bets on soccer have been on the under. But, I just can't see these teams scoring less than 2 unless Germany makes a major change in their strategy which has worked so well to this point.

That hurt. Lack of goals in the 1st half puts me down to +90. At least Klose got another one.

Germany won't be stopped now. They're playing in Dortmond next game and Munich for the final - I think. Berlin had the worst home pitch advantage of any stadium in the Cup - due to the Olympic Stadium set up. Dortmond and Munich 2 of the best.

Not going to be alot of goals in this one. The style both teams play suggests they will go into halftime 0-0.

Well, there was a goal in the 1st half - shocking! None the less, a good day. Now at +242. Will be pounding the hell outta the under in the final and also like Germany and the over in the 3rd place game.

3rd Place Game. Gotta love the over in a game like this. Digging through the stats, you have to go back to '74 to find a 3rd place game that went under 3 goals. This year Germany games are avg 1.3 and Portugal games .7 total goals in their playoff games coming into the match which would make one think the under would be the call.

But, in '02, coming into the 3rd Place game, Turkey playoff games avg. a total of .7 goals per game in the 3 playoff games. Korea was 1.0/game. They ended up scoring 5 goals in the game. That is the same # of goals in all 6 playoff games combined that the 2 played in that tourney. Not counting AET/SO goals of course.

Both teams have a lot of dangerous offensive players and both will be missing key defenders. This is a game to show off and play exciting football, people expect to see goals in a game like this. Both teams have the weapons. I don't think they will dissapoint.


PORTUGAL o2?+130 $150.00 $195.00

PORTUGAL o2-135 $203.00 $150.00


Also taking a 2 teamer on the finals. Italy havent given up a goal yet - except by that fluke. They won't start here. I think they are the better team and the more dangerous. So I'll take the Under 2.5 parlayed to Italy PK.

+587. Despite what the announcers said, Klose is still alone on top with 5 goals.

By the way, can anyone tell me why Italy wears Blue? Every other team wears their national colors/colors of their flag. Anyone, help?

Italy is about style. My guess is, blue looks better than green or red would. The blue with gold letters and numbers is sharp. Best uniforms of the tournament IMO.
