World Cup and European leagues

[Shooter McGavin]

I agree. They definitely have all the young talent and potential and Rodgers did a great job at developing them as individuals but the team chemistry just wasn't fully clicking. They were close though. Plus the injury bug didn't help him and I am sure he will be saying if he had mostly everyone healthy they would be top 3 like his previous years. But Klopp has taken them to the next level and I think he is there to stay. Just wait til he gets some more Germans on the team. Also, the league is still wide open at the top so they could make a push for the title but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet!

What are people's thoughts on Man U at Wolfsburg?   Wolfsburg only needs a draw to win the group and Man U needs the win. Man U has multiple injuries but have depth as I imagine Sweinsteiger will play with Carrick today. Can Man U win this game? I do not trust some of these Eastern European refs as today's is Romanian. I think I will pass on this one.

The other one is Athletico at Benfica with both teams already qualified and a very shady Serbian ref who has been in plenty of controversies if you look him up. Benfica is +1/2 at Home which is hard to ignore but I am also inclined to pass.

Thoughts?

The other game is Sevilla v Juve. Sevilla at home need all 3 pts to reach Europa but I have not seen them play this year. Juve I have and have been very impressed and I believe they win the group with a draw. Polish ref with a ton of controversy. I want action but these 3 games leave me with my hands ripping my hair out

20 year old Martial puts Man U in the lead. the kid is special

[firstplaceloser]

spoke too soon. Wolfsburg come back with very nice goal

Typically go with the home sides in these UCL clashes.  With that being said, I am still rolling the dice on Arsenal +100 in Greece.   Expecting a 2-1, 3-1 result.

Chelsea and Porto sitting on 10 pts, (8 GD and 3 GD, respectively).  Kiev is sitting on 8 points.   Porto is going to have to open up this game at the Bridge, and I like Chelsea's chances.  However, I will have to wait and see what XI will be used today...   The draw is +235.  Chelsea to win is +118.   Anticipating a 1-1, 2-1 result.

Bayern -1.5 (-133) at Dinamo Zagreb.  Should barely cover and win 2-0...

[Mr.Right]

OK here we go...I got no action yesterday because I was doubting everything which is a gamblers absolute nightmare. Today is a new day with the same conundrums...Bayern is -2 but they are sending a reserve squad to Croatia. Neither team has much to play for except maybe Dinamo with some mini Europa chances.Swedish ref.

Arsenal line has moved to -1/2 EVEN. They have a ton of injuries and I am not sure they will be able to break Olympiakos down. Italian ref.

Why is Chelsea -1/2 +105 at Home v Porto. Seems like one of those if its to good to be true it usually is lines. I know Chelsea have struggled but cmon. Turkish ref gives me chills

Barcelona w/o Neymar and money going with Leverkusen.

Personally, I like Valencia at home v Lyon at -1 -140 as they MUST WIN and Lyon have nothing to play for.

Is Dynamo Kyiv -2 -120 at home to Maccabi Tel Avi who have looked awful another good one?

Did you just say you like Chelsea's chances?

I like Chelsea's chances as well in this game. Although I would stay away from the Arsenal game. If I had to though I am going with 4 team Parlay - Chelsea Win, Olympiakos Win, Bayern -1.5, Keiv -2(depends on what it is). Let me know how many bananas I win for risking 50 bananas!!! I'll be watching one of the games from work!

[lastguyoffthebench]

I like the 4 tm parlay, but would side with Olympiakos +.5 goal. Lower payout but better value...

Your par would give you about 1100 chicken wings.   Bananas have been an unlucky commodity so we roll with wings now..

[Mr.Right]

Well Chelsea was a complete steal straight up yesterday..Today's Europa is much more difficult for me as sometimes I have not even heard of the teams that are playing...Insights? LastGuy?

[lastguyoffthebench]

Live action on Liverpool W +110 (0-0 40th)

Live action Club Brugge W +330 (down 1-0 40th)

Live action Napoli to win rest of game -140 (2-0 40th)

[lastguyoffthebench]

FC Basel PK +112 at Lech Poznan

Schalke -162 at Tripolis

Fiorentina -1.5 -163 at home vs Belenenses



CP +158 at home vs Soton

Utd +125 at AFC Bournemouth. (Stealing money here 2-0 prop bet too)

Arsenal -180 at Villa.  (Stealing again). 3-1 prop play too)

[lastguyoffthebench]

If Liverpool still tied in 75th.   Take the live action for the W as value should be close to +275

[Mr.Right]

I took a chance and took Sion at +1/2 -110 straight up and nailed it. Game was a total bore but I was very lucky and happy with the result.

Gotta admit I'm on a hot streak right now with futbol..I will also admit when I am not so I'm not just fluffin my feathers...

Spurs up 3-0 against Monaco right now...Wish I took it as I had a hunch but wasn't sure they would cover -1 1/2..It's ok I can wait...

For the week-end I like your picks...I think Arsenal hittin their stride and Villa is a complete mess right now.

I just saw Gary Monk got the sack on Monday..GUess it had to happen but he did a great job for them last year and the way Swansea started the year I thought they would keep it going..All fell apart in early October...Any rumors on who is in-line? I would love to see Bielsa.

I think United is a steal also as they are eventually going to start rolling.

Still kickin myself I didn't listen to you yesterday with Chelsea. That was an absolute steal especially at the Bridge.

So the NCAA D1 FINAL FOUR is listed on ESPN FC scores...   interesting.   

I remember a few years back I suckered tge book into taking the Akron over Louisville in the 2010 at even money.   Had a close friend that played at Akron and then transferred to Louisville...  That one was a freebie.

Who wins... Dave Brandt or Ken Lolla?  ha
