Last week’s tips were quite successful. Going into the last round of
group matches can be a little trickier. If teams have already qualified do they
put out full teams? Do you they put in 100% effort? I’ll stick to games that
teams have something to fight for.
Croatia v Mexico
This looks a very tough one to call. Mexico have played well and were
unlucky against Brazil. I believe Croatia to be the better all round team and
with this in mind I am going with them.
Croatia are priced at a generous 2.65 (as are Mexico) and I expect them
to shade it……just.
Costa Rica v England
Costa Rica have qualified but I’m sure they want to ensure they finish
top of the group. However, I do believe England will want to win this game.
Hodgson will hopefully start with Barkley. I have mentioned before that I
believed he should of started both previous games. The pressure will be off
England now. I fully expect them to win this game.
England are priced at 1.84 to win the game, and I expect a few goals
too.
USA v Germany
This game “could” be a tad controversial. The USA need a draw to ensure
they progress to the second round. Germany would be happy with the same result
with the minimum of effort. I wouldn’t suggest that both teams would come to an
understanding as such.
The USA team have a strong German influence….. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann
and several players also. Interestingly German coach Joachim Low worked under
Klinsmann in 2006. It’s a tough call. Im going to stick my head out and predict
a not surprisingly drawn game.
The draw is priced at Irisheyesbet at 2.50.
Uruguay v Italy
