Nice one chillin. I'll be having a piece of that. He's been class when I've seen him so far and changed the game when brought on as a sub. Everyone was asking why wasn't he on from the start? Confused

Like you say, if he can nick a goal too it'd be a cut and dry case for MOM.

Go Cesc! Cool

Yeah seen Xabi at 17.0 too. Massive unless Terry H grabs a hat-trick. Lose

Coopsy - Neither Portugal or Holland had Barthez in goal! Wink

By the way. Where's the best place to find out FIFA's MOM? Smile

For me and you then Seagull... Bet365 have gone crazy tonight, there's some MASSIVE MOTM odds tonight, reckon one of them should get it bar someone getting a hatrick or something else very special!
Fabregas @ 15
Alonso @ 17
Barthez @ 21
Makele @ 19
Viera @ 19

Seagull - As you see, they favour mainly midfielders which is always a good sign, last game for Spain Alonso got it and I was on him @ 15s then Smile

Ze Roberto broke everything up when Ghana attacked and then did well on his goal - otherwise Ronaldo would have had it in the bag. But at odds of 5.00 backing people like Torres is very hard - even after scoring 2 goals last game Xabi got it over him Wink

As I think Coopsys explained here earlier in the thread I have a feeling that Henry will for once live up to his billing in this WC tonight.

The man will on a mission IMO to exact some revenge on Luis Aragones tonight after last season's outburst from the Spanish coach. The player kept his council last season but he has enough ammunication to take him down tonight, plus he will want to prove the Spainish lads at Arsenal who is the boss

Henry 1st Goalscorer - 7.00 @ Betfred
Henry MOM - 6.00 @ Bet365
France win - 3.60 @ Bowmans
Eric Abidal 1st Booking - 21.00 Paddy Power.

These are my bets tonight. GL

I have a strong feeling that france will win this too but it'll be very tight. I expect spain to have most of the possession, but it'll be very difficult for them to play against mekelele and vieira in the middle of the park. France will be on the defensive tonight in my opinion, but have a good chance of scoring on the counter attack. In all honesty, it suits them as they do struggle when they are expected to dominate matches against weaker sides.

Not looking too good for Fabregas - think he needs a goal, at the moment it's looking like either Ribbery or Viera for MOTM, hopefully Viera will get it since he's one of my savers.

Well Spain huffed, and they puffed and they went out at exactly the same stage they normally go out in. Laughing

Nice touch ZZ scoring the last. Win

Bit of a poor night for me....again but at least I picked the winners tonight 1st

Can't believe Henry tho Lose
