Bet of the Century


Hay Everyone, I know I have been extremely lacks in my commitment to my blog but have no fear, I will be back at the end of the week. I have been a tad snowed in there for the last couple of weeks and that snow will be thawing very soon.

What I have for you in this blog is my World Cup bet of the week, so get on this bad boy. You will get anything from 50/1 to 75/1 for this, and maybe more on sites like Betfare. The bet is

England to loose on penalties against Germany in the second round

Slovenia are gonna be no pushovers but I defo think England will take them, just about and I believe USA are gonna give Algeria nice hiding, sending the USA into the Winning position in the group. This will leave England in the runner up position. England will then have to play the winner of group D.

Group D, I believe will go something like this, it is a simple race between Germany and Ghana in a showdown for Group D. Germany will take this home, sending them into the second round against England.

Let's do it

They Are Shite


Okay, we are 3 days into the World Cup and, at this stage, we have seen 12 of the teams of the 32 competing and the one thing that I have to say after watching most of the games (I missed the South Africa - Mexico games but caught the highlights) but the one thing that has stood out to me is this, I have no doubt in my mind that Ireland could have every team that has played so far. It is so fucking annoying; we are so much better then them all, it is unreal.

The French were horse shit. They should have taken those 3 points from Uruguay, which was the game that was a sure thing in the group, they needed those points. They are gonna find it very hard to take 3 points from South Africa and Mexico and you can be sure that they will have Uruguay, I can tell you. They didn't seem to be communicating in any way throughout the game and when Henry's shot was blocked down by some Uruguayan defender's arm. Just seeing him appealing to the ref - 'Would ever shut up, you fucking sap, you. Don’t even think you are that cheeky because I will kill you, Tierry.'

Then, we were given a look at the team that are 3rd favourites to win the competition, the mighty Maradona back at the World Cup with a team that, on paper, would scare the bollix off any other team in the competition, a team so jam packed with talent that I would say there is about 500 million euro worth of players in the squad but when on the pitch, in a match, the words headless chickens are the first words that spring to mind. It’s like they have a strike force and a defence with nothing in the middle. Mascherano seems to drop back into the centre back line. Gutierrez, that left winger for Newcastle, is playing in right back and looks like he has never played there in his life. Everyone is constantly pushing up to a point that there are 5 of them in and around the penalty area, leaving the team geriatric, Juan Veron, on his own in the midfield. They could have easily lost to Nigeria who were shite. The only reason they didn't get anything out of the game was because they couldn't hit the target. They had the opportunities and if Argentina give the likes Brazil, Spain, Holland and Germany the same opportunities, they will be beaten very badly.

England were pants as well, they got that early goal and they were coasting along nicely, they conceded that unfortunate equaliser and they couldn’t get back into it. Their confidence was shot. They didn't have strength of character to get back into it. Half the team were non existent and if they think there is any hope of them lifting that trophy after that, they have another thing coming

The bottom line is and what I’m trying to get at is, Ireland, so far, would have any of these cunts. It is irritating me to the core.

Bathe Me It


The greatest sporting competition has begun, fuck sporting actually, one of the greatest events in the world has begun and I cannot wait to delve into some serious ball play over the next 48 hours. I am going to suck this up with a vuvuzela. I am going to loose a fortune. I got paid on Thursday and when I say I am going to tear my wages a new one, I mean it.

It is looking good betting wise so far. In an accumulator, I had Mexico - South Africa to draw and France - Uruguay to draw, so I have the 2 difficult ones out of the way. All I need now is Argentina to beat Nigeria, Germany to beat Australia, Italy to beat Paraguay and Cameroon to beat Japan. It isn't over by a long shot but it was those draws that were the up in the air results. Argentina, I know, will make me sweat tonight against Nigeria and that Cameroon match is freaking the shit out of me.

I also did one of these World Cup Swoops with 7 other lads, everyone sticks 20 yo yos in and you get to pick 4 teams. 2 deadly teams and 2 dodgy teams with a prize for the winner and a smaller one to the guy who has the worst team. So the whole idea is not to hit middle of the road teams. You are looking for sheer quality or absolute shittness, that is the game plan and I couldn't have hit more middle of the road if I tried. I am the white line in the middle of the road outside my gaf. I drew -

Holland
Serbia
Japan
Honduras

Okay, we all know that Holland had a great qualification with maximum points and only letting in 2 goals in the whole group but all they had to worry about in that bad boy was Norway, Scotland, Macedonia & Iceland. They would want to be winning that group handsomely, in fairness. I can see them getting to the quarters where, if they top their group and so do Brazil, they will meet and when that happens, let me tell you, they will be sucking on bong on the banks of a canal in Amsterdam before they know it.

Serbia, yeah, they were the team who topped the group with France in it but they don't stand a chance. They have a bitch of a group with Germany, who I think are dark horses in the competition. Nobody is looking at them, every player in that squad is playing in the Bundesliga. They will be a very organised and hard to beat. You also have Ghana, an African nation, they are missing Essien, yeah, but as we saw last night, the African teams are so up for it and as for the Soccaroos, well, they proved to be no push overs in 2006.

So that top prize is not looking too good for Jack and when you look at the other end of the spectrum, it is looking as grim. My teams are too good.

Japan are in a tough group but not tough enough, they will come last to Holland, Denmark & Cameroon but I need a few whippings to happen. It is the same with Honduras. Yes, Spain will probably kick 3 colours of shit out of them but chances are they will play a weakened team and I can see them maybe getting a draw or something off the excitement that is Chile or Switzerland. I had my eye on North Korea or New Zealand, that will be fun to watch. I don’t want to be patronizing but North Korea, pooooor North Korea. Ah well, come on the accumulator.

I also did this thing with Boyles Sport where if you make a fiver bet, you get to enter into this free competition where you have to guess how the World Cup is going to transpire, like, you have to pick the winner of each group, the runner up of each group, second round winners, quarters, semis, final, and winner. You nail it; you get a million squid. . . . . I did 2 of them and I'm taking it fucking home. You are currently reading the words of a millionaire, get in out of that, I'm already spending the money.
