Double jeopardy. In the box attempt to play the ball, no red. Changed rule 2 seasons ago

yah bit crazy when in the name of restoring the goal scoring chance it puts the goalkeeper back in front of the ball.

a goal scoring chance that was an open goal from 6 yards has been restored to a chance 12 yards away and a fully set schmichi in front of you

equitable

Some situations are going to be more equitable than others.  Pointing out one inequitable situation doesn't negate the reason for the rule.

Yeah i like the new laws, still a pretty big outlier though lol.

The price you pay for favouring  consistency over allowing discretion I guess.

Still a weird one considering what the rule change set out to do

Very ordinary Brazil team this.

Neymar is an utter dick too.

England must be sub 3-1 by now?

think people are a bit blinded by the brazil sides of old

been a long time since they were that, they are very well organised and have one of the better keepers left in the tournament

Neymar a dick but is working back to fitness nicely

When 3 of my favourite tipsters & judges have differing on the same market, I've no idea what to think.

England or Colombia, & why?

Prices?

Roughly, 3/1 Colombia, 6/5 England, 11/5 the draw.

Are we expecting many goals in the game?

I cannot believe Colombia are 3/1

Obviously want England to win and would have them slight favourites if James Rodriguez is out but there's not much in it really surely?

I read that England have gone off favourite for every single world cup finals match they have played since the 2002 world cup. Including Germany in 2010

As extra time has to be a possibility the 6/4 Colombia to qualify really appeals https://www.oddschecker.com/football/world-cup/colombia-v-england/to-qualify

England are 1/2 in that market. I might even venture an exclamation mark at that price...

Someone else can give me the other view please....why England at 6/5 is the bet.

Cant give that view but hard to think there is a massive price rick in a worldwide market like this

I think Colombia are likely to make errors at the back despite having two very promising centre backs there were plenty of gaps in the group games which Kane will take advantage of where Senegal in particular could not.

Think Falcao who is my favourite striker of the last decade will struggle with another game in a relatively short space of time (not played such intense schedule since near career ending injury). Bacca is not the player he was a few years ago when he replaces him probably after 65 minutes here.

All of that is also in the price no bet if ever there was one for me.

Only bet I have had today fwiw is Michael Lang first and last scorer in the sweden v swiss game

Been a 1 in 8 man in domestic football for a long time very good for a right back, scored in recent years against Man City and Man Utd so seems to rise for the big games (small sample I know) only 2 in 26 for national side but 22 of them were short sub appearances.

Lichtsteiner usually plays right back and is suspended more importantly for the bet so is Schaar who is usually the target for most set pieces, with him missing big chance Lang takes up that role.

44s on exchange or as cheap as 3 to buy with the spreads are not the worst bets ever

Think Sweden will be tough to break down if England get there

Sit very deep one of the better sides at defending set pieces and a threat on the counter

Presuming Forsburg is fit enough to play that is
