Tackle by the Irish lad is fair.

Face value of each ticket

[superwomble]

On a side note Immobile confirmed deal to Dortmund is done.

immobile is a great name for a striker....

His movement isn't very good of course...

For the value-seeking ubernit. Wickes are handing out vouchers in store when you spend over £10. Its a free £5 bet on the world cup. Not that i would advocate this but i have since returned the item i bought as it didnt look right but still got the free bet yo.

2 bets I've seen with Laddies. Player goalscoring match bets:

Benzema @ 5/2 v Higuain

Messi @ evens v Neymar.

Draw is a runner in both match ups

The Benzema one is a bonkers price. Will start every game, Higuain not as certain. Benzema a better striker Imo and Ancelotti's. Expect France to go deep.

[maldini32]

Last one before the start tomorrow!

Altidore top north east scorer @ 7/1

Remy is fav @ 7/4

Remys not a starter Altidore is.

1 goal could win it.

Altidore scored twice lately I think....

Price was 8's when I saw it at work.

Last I looked it's down to 6's.

Only other potential threat Imo is ameobi of the shola variety

Sighs, Acca looks like a no go. It wont even let me bet Sterling top england, Benzema top France, Robben top Holand and Vargas top Chile.. can't see how they are related, surely I should be able to make these into an acca?

Screw all this betting chat. Has anyone got an awesome wall chart, that I maybe I can print off the internet.
