The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Langers]

And you worry about brexit lol!

Eh??

Got Germany vs Saudi Arabia on. Werner has scored early, couldn't miss after being teed up by Reus.

Werner might be a good bet for top scorer, he might hoover up in the early stages. You can still get him at 20s with Unibet. Will 100% be the main striker.

 

[The Bear]

I only got him at 16s the day the groups were announced.

Also had Lukaku (20s), Griezmann (12s), Neymar (10s).

 

[YoungWolf]

Think Cavani might be a good shout with the group thy see in

How the World Cup plays out based on the average salary of the 23 man squads. It won't fall this way though as Poland and Columbia aside it's in line with my prediction/bets

Albert Guðmundsson @ 26.00 Iceland top scorer has a chance if he actually gets on the pitch. I don't think they'll score many, 1 might do it!

That's a giant game of top trumps lol!

10/3 on Bet365.

You might have looked at another Gudmundsson. Who is 11.00 right now, so not sure

I think England, with luck, could get further than the quarters.

I think them and Iceland will be the dark horses. Argentina v Iceland is my shock result

Ronaldo needs to have a good tournament. He has not had great ones before so he could get some goals.

There is often 1 game where a player score a hat trick in a thrashing. So pick the game with the thrashing and you could pick your top scorer! My thrashing is Portugal Iran. Brazil v Costa Rica or Uruguay Saudi Arabia could also have thrashing potential.

Is he playing against any of his former teams?

 

[The Bear]

Lad at work reckons "this is England's year" and he is going to stick £10 on at 16s.

I offered him 25s and took his money instead :icon_lol:

A world cup of kits starts on the the BBC website at 9am this morning. England (1966 away) have a tough first fixture against the Dutch 1978 kit.

A note to all that you have a couple more days to enter the World Cup Prediction Competition. The first round of fixtures are already up and the second round of group games will be posted on Friday.

Might turn out to be a storm in a teacup but seems that the Spanish FA are very unhappy that Lopetegui announced his move to Real before the tournament. Some talk flying around that he's been sacked with immediate effect.

 

[Tony Towner]

Press conference in an hour and a half where he's expected to get the bullet. The first the Spanish FA new about it was 5 minutes before Real announced it. Time to cash out my Brazil V Spain final bet.

 

[Nando]

This is gaining legs very quickly. Hierro/Celades to step in apparently.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

You can still get nearly 4s on Portugal to win on Friday with Marathon Bet as it stands. Pile in.

 

[Del Woppio]

That's absolutely gutting for him and tbh ridiculous from Spain. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face

This is a very interesting take on the situation by Matt Scott - https://twitter.com/Matt5cott/status/1006807915804622848

 

[YoungWolf]

It is pretty poor from Lopetegui to do this all behind Spain FA's back. But equally does seem mental to just bin him on the eve of the tournament!
