They’ve simply far too much class for New Zealand.
Durica and Skrtel as centre halves.
A good midfield of the excellent Hamsik alongside Strba or Sapara probably with good wide players in Weiss (son of the coach) and Stoch (who just won the league at Twente in Holland after leaving Chelsea). Vittek is a quality striker and Sestak plays in the Bundesliga which RTÉ are beginning to decide is the greatest league in the world.
The Dunph knew. I’m presuming the delivery man from the local Korean restaurant filled him in that South Korea were one to watch. Great work from the Dunph.
I got it badly wrong about the Aussies alright. I knew they would be shit but thought they would at least be spirited and organised. They were an absolute rabble. From Schwarzer in goal who should have saved the first two to Tim Cahill up front. Special mention goes to their left back Chipperfield who was hilariously inept. Thought Cahill and Wilkshire would have been central midfield. The three they had in there ran around like headless chickens. Looks like I read too much into the form of their friendly in Thomond Park.
Apparently Bozzy was saying before the game that they could get to a quarter final where Brazil would be waiting but Brazil have problems in the camp so ya never know. :lol:
Yere North Korea bet isn’t looking great either it has to be said. they looked well organised and hardworking in the extreme today. You underestimated the fear Hans Brix’s buddy has put in them
just back online after myself and kev agreed to stop posting for a week to sort out our differences face to face ( he bottled it and didnt show up BTW),
anyway, its interesting to check in on this,
the australia not to score bet came in as expected, the rest are still in progress with the obvious exception of france which was a shocking call by me.
some mug gave me 11.0 on the machine on no african team reaching the second round, if that comes off ill be very happy, realsitically it depends on the aussies fucking up ghana tomorro, its a remote possibility as one should not be conned by Ghana’s lack of ability in that win over the Serbs.
i predict a draw with ghana and the aussies tomorrow ( 0-0). that will also still keep the 8-1 on the sussie NOT to score in the touranment alive
tonite ive done 2 bets
england to win 2-0 at 5-1
england to win 3-0 at 13-2.
Yes France to top the group has been a negative for me. Will be keeping an eye on the ructions in the French and English camps in the next few days. A good row tends to solve a lot. Both could still turn out to be decent back to lay propositions.
Looks like we, the Oranjemen, will be playing Italy in the second round. Hopefully we will smash the Cameroon in the next game so our odds will shrink before the game. Italy are dangerous in knockouts.

. This was looking unbelieveably hairy at times but came through eventually. God bless you Landon Donovon, an allright sort
