round of 16

USA V Ghana - USA to qualify @ 1.73 :(

The US have shown a lot of spirit to get to out of the group stages.... I think they might just extend that run to the quarters.

WC betting

I reckon value bets on some of the outsiders is the way to go in this tournament. Some of the big European names (England, France, Spain, Italy etc) have underperformed.... I reckon there could be some value to be had on the underdogs

Portugal v North Korea (D) @ 4.75 :( way wrong....
U.S.A. v Algeria (H) @ 1.91 :) last min win
Paraguay v New Zealand (D) @ 4.0 :) Kiwis bow out undefeated

World Cup

England V USA ... correct score 2-1 :(

Holland to win the World Cup @ 10.0 :( but hedged enough of the bet to make a few quid on Spain's win
