Cameroon vs Croatia (Group A) Wednesday 18th June 2014

[Badgers]

Both starting on zero points behind Brazil and Mexico both on 4 points each. If this is a draw then it then these two teams need decent goal difference wins in their final games (Cameroon v Brazil & Croatia v Mexico) next week to go through.

Guessing Croatia the likely favourites?

Guessing Croatia the likely favourites?

Yes, the betting fraternity thinks so. Oddschecker* has Croatia at around 4/6 (but drifting) and Cameroon at about 11/2 (and shortening).





*Other methods of wasting money are available.

I suspect this will be up there with the Russian/South Korean game last night. I doubt i'll make it beyond 1/2 time.

The Cameroon player with the mohican and beard looks fierce!

 

[Barking_Mad]

Not sure who I'm not going with in this one. Might be completely neutral and not care

want croatia to win because they really didn't deserve to be on 0 points after the first game

A local cab company to me had a card that said
One Love, One God, Let Sport be the Winner

 

[Sunray]

Hey this is a much better game than I thought it'd be.

 

[Badgers]

Croatia up 1 then. Can see them getting the win. Maybe 2-0 or 2-1 at this rate but game may go a bit crazy yet.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That's the fourth goal I've missed today

 

[Badgers]

Interesting.

Brazil and Mexico on 4 points. If Croatia win this they are on 3 with Mexico to play on the 23rd. Brazil are almost certain to qualify barring a big defeat to Cameroon. So Mexico or Croatia? Hard to call.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So pushing a player taking a throw in is legitimate now, is it?

Was just trying to work all this out myself. It's a shame Mexico and Croatia are playing each other in a way, would be nice if one of them were up against Brazil to make it more of a three-way shoot out.

Mad bastard!

 

[Sunray]

Crazy.

Was looking like a decent game until that. Wonder if he looked at the clock before he did that.

 

[Badgers]

That has kinda killed it really. Cameroon need to magic up some ten man heroics that never happened with eleven men.

 

[buscador]

Just seen that sending off. Unbelievably stupid.

 

[Sunray]

When a player of that experience does something unexpected and unnecessary like elbowing an opponent in the back in front of the ref.

Am I being cynical thinking spread betting.

 

[Badgers]

Just seen that sending off. Unbelievably stupid.

Yeah. I know emotions run high but what a dick. Off the ball and has all but ruined their chances for nothing.

It does look quite suspicious.

The Cameroon's have some great hairdos !!
Not sure that Song needs the money from spread betting during the World Cup ??

 

[ash]

In fact Croatia have some serious do's as well !!!

no, but I'd think you were being illogical. No betting syndicate could match his salary and make it worth his while to do that...

 

[marty21]

15p on Cameroon at 150/1

 

[Lo Siento.]

I'm wondering if there's any connection between the foam lines and the inability of anyone to score from free kicks...

 

[buscador]

Well, that's my Overs bet won anyway.

 

[Silva]

why bother jumping for high balls, right chaps?

 

[smmudge]

I like that this match is basically the two flags playing each other.

 

[Badgers]

Croatia should start resting key players. They are 3 goals up and only a win against Mexico will get them through, a draw and they are out.

 

[scooter]

Not if Cameroon beat Brazil 2-0
