My take is that there are 12 good teams and they?re all seriously flawed. . I think Uruguay and Columbia have the best value but will start taking them once the knockouts start. The gap between the haves and the have nots has never been wider but the top is as tight as it?s ever been

For the opener, I know Russia sucks at soccer but they?re good at cheating and if they weren?t, we wouldn?t even be here.

Russia -214

1-0 +1 unit

I'm just killing it so far.

I like Uruguay to go deep so I like them here. Can't imagine this game being worth playing salad with everything on the line Tuesday against Russia.

Uruguay -167

I don't know much about either team but have seen how defensive both teams are based on the goal totals in qualifying, bit in the three game first round , they both need a win with Portugal and Spain coming up. That doesn't lend itself to a low scoring game no matter what the form table says.

Iran/morocco over 2 +115

Spain was my favorite to to win until they lost their coach, but the negative effects of that won't happen here. No flaws with the squad on the field.

Spain -101

A couple of different podcasts that I listen to have mentioned the prescience of PAerus fans in Russia, so I?m expecting Peru to have the support in the stands and are in a record unbeaten run. I don?t rate Denmark much and really think that it shouldn?t be difficult for a team with a midfield to stop them.

Peru pk +137

A lot going forward for both sides and not much behind.

Nigeria/Croatia over 2 -148

5-6 -2.67 units

Everyone enjoying their soccer?

The most shocking thing about the US not being here is when you know how bad CONCACAF is right now. It's regressed since the last cycle and everyone will realize it soon.

Bobby;

If you don't mind I'm going to post in your thread.

Mexico 7/1 for 200 (Bet365.com).

Briefly, I think this German team is vulnerable. They will probably end up going deep into the tourney as usual (or until they face England!!! LOL) but I feel Mexico offers real value here.

I?m superstitious, so I do mind when you post plays in my thread - especially when they are exactly the opposite of what I?m playing. After one play, You?re already 10 units ahead of me, so you can probably start your own thread - I?m sure people want to read what you have to say.

Nice hit on Mexico.
