Salah coming for the bench for today’s game?

ABORT BET ON EGYPT.
Starting to regret the abort. Think Salah comes in late and scores the game winner.

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.
For this you can still pick matches and outright winner will be reset after group stage.

Switch my 25 from Silva to Costa. I’m such a casual soccer fan that I got those two confused.

Nice call. They looked really good.

Yes. But can only pick matches until the end of the group stage. Then the new 'to win cup' odds will be posted
