I meant as in as a talent, had a pretty exceptional season so far like.

Pretty good this season for him in a relegation team. You never know what you get because could also be a one season wonder.

Ginter from Freiburg to Dortmund should also go through

Going to study the World Cup betting this month, if I know the structure of the tournament inside out- (as in who can meet who, and who can't)- then it will give me an outside chance.

I think an each-way bet on Chile at 50/1 is great value.

Ramos and Ji of Sunderland?

Adrian Ramos from Hertha to Dortmund is perfect.

Chile have Spain and Holland and then possibly Brazil.
Tough route to quarters.

I agree, but it is more than possible. I am not convinced the Dutch will be that good, just a feeling.

What's Uruguay chances? Can't be bothered to look.

Uruguay are a fading force. Can actually see us and Italy knocking them out.
Winner of our group should get a winnable 2nd round game, avoiding Colombia will be the desire. Then a quarter against winner of the Spain, Chile, Holland group is likely.

One of: Greece, Japan, Ivory Coast or Colombia- if they make the last sixteen I believe.

wow you sure do know your stuff DJ

I think the surprise team of the tournament will come from the bottom 4 groups, although I hope Côte d'Ivoire can finally have a run. Last chance for their superstars though.

Agreed, there'll be a big advantage in knowing all of the permutations beforehand as that's when the odds tend to be biggest.

Bookies tend to be reactive- remember at the Euros and in their first game the Russians looked great and everyone went onto overhype them?

Just going to sit down for half-an-hour and look at it. Thinking of not betting anymore until it starts to save my betting money for the World Cup.

I have high hopes for Chile and Colombia from the "smaller" nations.

Good find Marcel, will work my way through that.

Leverkusen 2 1 Breman

Worst signing of the season?

Lamela
De Jong
Van Wolfswinkle
Fellaini
Medel

?

Mitroglou. Fulham gambled massively on a player who had been out with a knee injury for the previous 4 months, and paid a heavy price.

You can bet on the England World Cup squad?

on Hills Marcelno

Fellaini, ridiculous price, been crap and has little potential to improve imo.

Italy
Uruguay/England
Costa Rica

for me , Uruguay may be a bit iffy, but home continent advantage might help

Yeah Mitroglou another shocker.

Fellaini the worst for me though. Meant to come in as an immediate impact and been pathetic.

Can see Costa Rica getting a surprise result, and the first game is always shady.

Predicted England to go out in the group.
