Wise, I like it......I really respect your opinion and we have talked a few times in the last week. I was really leaning towards them but I cannot pull the tigger yet. I am going to sleep on it but I believe they move forward. Gl w/ your selection and I will probably be wagering a few dollars on them myself. TTYT

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Zidane, like I have said over and over again, is the BEST PASSER IN THE WORLD...I dont care what they say about Ronaldinho passing, maybe he is more of an athlete, but Zinadines soccer knowledge and passing are out of this world...Zinadine reminds me alot of Jason Kidd, he doesnt get all the glory, but almost every play you will see him setting up the stars...Henry is like his Vince Carter, he makes amazing plays that would not have even occured if it were not for their wingmans assists

ITALY +.5 (-145)
Risking $1,450 to win $1,000

FAWK YEA...I LOVE Italy here...Germany has had one of the easiest rides to the semis and played teams that wouldnt stand a ice cubes chance in hell vs Italy...took them large myself...LOVE IT...Cant wait, the whole world loves how Germany has home court and the fact that they have the leading scorer in the Cup makes everyone think they are a superpower..home cournt advantage is big, especially when a team is pretty solid like Germany....but i dont care what your fans do, the fact that Itally outclasses Germany and has been catching on fire makes them a force to be reckoned with....lets go...I have them ML for a unit in a parlay with Santana yest (thought it was a loss, what a comeback by Minny) and then took them to Qualify for 2 Units as well....all in all, a big play for me as well, and seeing you on it makes me feel that much more confident about it

PORTUGAL +.5 (-160)
Risking $1,600 to win $1,000

Last 25 plays: [13-10-2] +10,750

Not betting against a 5-0 Portugal team in this matchup. France beat Brazil, the favorite to win it all, but don't forget there are two games left to play Frenchies! Tough for France not to have a letdown today. Also, France has not done well as a favorite in this tournament. Keeper edge goes to Portugal for sure. This bet is a no-brainer in my opinion.

This line scares the heck out of me. Portugal looks like an absolute gift. I am hoping the line is the way it is because of the books thinking the public will be all over France.

IS

I don't think the public will be all over France to qualify (-190). That line is very high. I do think the public will be on France (+130) and the draw (+180) in regulation. I can even see the public being on France -.5 (+130) in regulation.

Penalty kick is a killer. Has there ever been a sport where the referree has so much control of the game's final outcome?

Hopefully Portugal can tie this sucker sooner than later.
