Ha. I thought it might require more refereeing assistance but I just had a feeling Spain would dominate the whole game and lose on PKs.

Russia match 1: $40
France to win cup: $10
Belgium to win cup: $10
England to win cup: $10
England to win its group: $20

I think France and Brazil are the favorites, but obviously a lot can happen. France have the most talent though, and the most depth, so I went with them. Belgium have longer odds but are also talented, and will score.

I’m actually quietly impressed with Southgate, and think England go into this in a decent place of mind. I also think a number of their players have benefited from the Pep, Klopp, and Poch mentoring. I don’t really think they will win, but liked their odds on winning the group better than those for some of the other big teams.

Fuck off. England are a bunch of whingers who feel entitled because they “invented” the game when everyone knows other cultures have been kicking balls for millennia.

I think you flipped the odds on my last two Croatia bets and gave me too much money as a result.

But I’ll take whatever I have left and put it on Belgium in 90 in the 3rd place game.

FYI, I changed my bet from a draw in the final to an England win in 90.
