Written by Will | Sunday, July 13th, 2014

After a month of thrilling football action in what’s widely been discussed as one of the best World Cup tournaments in recent memory, it will all have to come to a close Sunday afternoon from Brazil.

Brazil vs Netherlands Pick – World Cup Third Place Match

Written by Rory K | Saturday, July 12th, 2014

Welcome to the World Cup’s least important, but most entertaining match. As Louis van Gaal said on Thursday, ‘There is only one award that counts and that is becoming world champion.’ Whoever wins here, they still go home as losers. If you’re betting on the outcome, this is normally a game for which you wait […]

Written by Rory K | Tuesday, July 8th, 2014

For the first time since the Maradona era ended 20 years ago in a drugs testing facility beneath Foxboro stadium, Argentina are in a world cup semi final. Lionel Messi, of course, is the man who brought them here. Scorer of 4 goals, he is also the creator of more goalscoring chances (19) than anyone […]

We’re down to the final four at this year’s World Cup, and what a tournament it has been so far.

Written by Rory K | Saturday, July 5th, 2014

Netherlands: -200 Draw: +330 Costa Rica: +680 Netherlands are -200 to banish Concacaf’s last remaining representative in 90 minutes and reduce the semi-finals to a face-off between South America and Europe.

A convincing German victory over the French yesterday has improved our overall record on all picks to 17-8-1 at this year’s World Cup (+6.85 units). As we progress deeper into the tournament, it’s become evident the games become tighter, the tackles become harder, and that Lionel Messi is still the world’s greatest player. Today his […]

Brazil vs Colombia Pick – World Cup July 4th

Written by Rory K | Friday, July 4th, 2014

Brazil: -110 Draw: +280 Colombia: +380 It was squeaky-bum time for the hosts in their last 16 clash against Chile, who took them to a penalty shootout where a nation held its breath and Neymar held his nerve. Brazil survived and perhaps they will draw strength from having been the width of the crossbar from […]

Written by Rory K | Tuesday, July 1st, 2014

Belgium: +104 Draw: +250 USA: +430 Despite three underwhelming performances in what was one of the easiest groups of the World Cup opening round, pre-tournament dark horses Belgium still managed to get through with a 100% record. Their victories over Algeria, Russia and South Korea were far from convincing but taking nine points from the […]
