Ecuador

[Admin]

Great game, and one of the 'shocks' of the World Cup already.

I just backed the game for 1.5 goals or more, so I&#39;m a happy bunny [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/BouncyHappy.gif[/img]

Ecuador showed a brilliant defence, and it will be difficult, apart from the great teams, to break down. Although when they do the goalie doesn&#39;t look great.

Not sure why Ecuador were the underdogs, they have altitude training daily, and Poland aren&#39;t strong......even England struggled with them....looks good form for our boys then [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Had two good matches so far. Germany were impressive, albeit against unenthusiastic opposition, but they&#39;ll get found out later. Great result for Ecuador. I think they were underdogs precisely because they weren&#39;t playing at altitude: didn&#39;t they qualify on the strength of their home performances at altitude?

And how do you get 1.5 goals in a game?&#33; [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Erm.gif[/img]

Hope you all enjoy the match this afternoon. I&#39;m getting married in an hour and a half, so I&#39;d better focus on that for the rest of the day [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Grin.gif[/img]

It&#39;s gambling speak for, more than or equal to 2, but +1.5 is more accurate and quicker [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

It&#39;s just strange that boxers, and athletes do altitude training to get fitter? Ecuador showed no signs of &#39;dying&#39; in the latter half.

England beaten by Belarus.....struggled with POLAND.....form doesn&#39;t look promising......

For the gamblers amongst us, here are my footy Pro-Bets for today;

<span style="color:#3366FF">England v Paraguay - Over 1.5 goals @ 1.45</span>
England will be gagging for a good start, but Paraguay are prone to scoring as well.

<span style="color:#3366FF">Tobago v Sweden - Under 3.5 goals @ 1.47</span>
Sweden are likely to win, but then Tobago qualified just the same, and have put in some good performances in the last year. Sweden aren&#39;t the best goalscorers around.

<span style="color:#3366FF">Argentina v Ivory Coast - Over 1.5 goals @ 1.43</span>
Both these teams let in goals, and Ivory Coast are not as weak as the competition odds make out.


100% so far.

[/b][/quote]In qualifying, I seem to remember that Ecuador played great at home, but poor away. And doesn&#39;t the same apply to Mexico? They never set the world on fire in the WC except when it was held in Mexico? Anyway, maybe Poland trained underground in the mines [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Grin.gif[/img]

[/b][/quote]Another success [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Great performance from IC. Even Mel got excited during this one [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] Maybe she fancies Drogba [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cwm23.gif[/img]

Was made up fro Tobago, and made the Swedes look worse than England.
