Man, why is that we have to slug it out against Germany? We'll more likely to get knocked out of the World Cup by them than reach the semi-finals. At least we manage to beat Slovenia yesterday though, I hadn't expected we pull through to here after the poor performance against Algeria.

I bet for Slovenia to win, the odds at William hill was 6/1 and the odds on 888sports was 7.5/1, which I was so certain for a win. Though of my £20, I got £5 back so I might bet on Germany (since I will not bet on England), the odds are 2.70 for a German win.

I think I'm getting into the World Cup, even though I dislike the sport. But watching the live scores is fun, though currently I'm down £15.

Oh well, at the moment we're weak, too.

If North Korea wins (9/0 - £5 returning £45), I'm betting on Germany (2/7).

A game for the ages, Germany beating England.

Mexico is up against Argentina, it can be our revenge but most likely it will be our doom with that awful lineup Aguirre is starting with.

Either way we are watching the game with a sh*tload of beer, win or lose we'll be very drunk

The odds are 6/5 on Mexico winning, I would bet on Argentina.

I've just placed a bet on the USA, because at 2/4 over the 3/1 on Ghana, the USA have the better odds of a return (from what I've seen by the bookmakers odds).

Ghana left USA out, LOL
I placed a bet on Mexico for tomorrow's game, the odds are 4 to 1, so I bet $200 mxn, returning $800 mxn

$1 usd = $12.70 mxn
1 quid = $20.00 or so mxn

Haha, quid isn't a currency. :rofl:

It's a slang term used for pounds.

Your bookmaker is giving lower odds, the one I use is giving 6/5 for Mexico... Which I may place a bet, depending on the outcome of the current match. I bet on England, originally aimed at betting on Germany, fearful of the same occurrence of when I bet on Slovenia (I may have been wrong in my mind change).

Two more goals, staying ahead of the Germans will ensure a bet on either Argentina or Mexico.

Germany bet England 4:1, although it should have been 4:2. :thumbup:

**VampDude** · June 27th, 2010, 20:45

My bet was originally on Germany, but I had doubts due to the previous England match...

But awesome, Germany won. I'm not even the remotest upset about losing my bet, because the hopes and dreams of those who truly support England as a team have had their dreams shattered.

My next bet will definitely be German, because they will beat Argentina in the next match. Ghana will beat Uruguay, but my betting cannot determine whether Germany will beat Ghana to face Brazil who I've estimated will be the in the final (they're facing easy teams).
