Man of the Match - Page 7

Ronaldo!!

was he that good?? thought juninho looked favourite

Cupid Stunt · 22nd June 2006, 23:00

The sheer size of the man caught the judge's eye.

julzdyer · 22nd June 2006, 23:06

any thoughts on whether alonso will start for spain tomorrow?

16/1 looks generous considering opposition and the fact that he has been man of the match already?

if not then maybe a play on joaquin

shevchenko takes the eye at 5/1 as well

davidti · 23rd June 2006, 11:46

Thought Ronaldinho was absolutely strolling that one. Then off he goes after 71, Ronaldo gets his second and he loses out. That's the risk I guess.

Hakan Yakin for me today - 12s at Paddy Power.

ozz · 23rd June 2006, 15:29

Just one bet for me today - Willy Sagnol at 40/1 with PP

Decent price and with France sure to get at Togo from the off he could be a key player.

In any event I'm not going skint, (too quickly), backing a decent 40/1 shot.

davidti · 23rd June 2006, 20:25

Yes, big price Ozz. Good luck.

Have watched Malouda a few times and he seems quite bright. Scored a cracking goal in the 1-0 friendly win over Mexico and seems less of a headless chicken than Ribery. Henry and Trezeguet always look a bit static for France so Malouda should hopefully provide some forward movement from midfield.

Will have a dabble at 12s.

just one fancy today, saviola for argentina at a tasty 9/1 with paddies

was MOTM for their first game and the odds seem a tad generous

only 21 players better than him in the first half

julzdyer · 24th June 2006, 23:26

have had to take 9/2 rooney for tomorrows match with blue square

seems a big price and cant beleive that it will be that big tomorrow at 4pm

davidti · 25th June 2006, 11:55

Think this market has run its course with me now.

Was well up but have given a big chunk back now so losing a bit of faith.

I think the group games were the best way to cash in but now it seems harder to predict with plenty of good players in each match now.

Was on Ballack at 4s yesterday and was convinced he'd done enough but wasn't to be (Klose got it).

Fun while it lasted and have won a few quid but can't see an edge now.

Anyone else think the same or will you judge each market on its merits?

ilunga · 25th June 2006, 12:00

I tend to agree David. I couldn't see any value yesterday, and today looks the same. I'll still have a play though if I see something that stands out.

david, i also agree with you.

fortunately i had a few winners in the group stages to make it pay, but have since not really had much look. thought ronaldhino/kaka the other night was a solid choice and i also had a small amount on ballack yesterday, who i cant believe did not win.

it is much tougher now in the knockout stages as there are 22 players that can now win the award whereas in the group stages it could be narrowed down significantly.

i will watch rooney with interest today and hopefully get some more profits, but as you i will be watching the market with interest on the games probably without having too much of an investment

davidti · 26th June 2006, 09:49

Glad I didn't get involved yesterday.

John Terry Man of the Match

Could easily have cost England the game.

ilunga · 26th June 2006, 10:03

I won't bet on this market again. How the hell can they give it to Terry!?! He wasn't even the best centre back on the pitch. Almost as bad as their decision to award Crespo that goal

Bunch of idiots the lot of 'em.

Stoichkov · 26th June 2006, 10:35

"He is the Budweiser Man of the Match because he made few errors and had a perfect game in defence," said FIFA Technical Study Group member Alvin Corneal. "He made up for his team-mates' mistakes and he was the one who stopped most of Ecuador's best chances."

ozz · 26th June 2006, 10:41

John Terry!!!!

Carrick or Hargreaves for me, possibly Ashley Cole. Definitely not John Terry.

I was on Deco last night and thought he was a shoe-in until that wanker sent him off for fuck all! Saying that he probably should have gone for that swiping lunge when he only got a yellow.

riccardo · 26th June 2006, 12:32

At least he (Terry) had the decency to look embarrassed...

What was Deco thinking? He knew what the ref was like, and still picked up the ball in the dying seconds. I've no sympathy at all.

arnie · 26th June 2006, 13:07

While I agree with your sentiments Riccardo......the 78th minute is hardly the "dying seconds"......in fact it might only be midway through the second half at Old Trafford

riccardo · 26th June 2006, 13:10

Confusing him with Van Bonkhorse

I think the point still stands though...

davidti · 26th June 2006, 20:20

Okay, one more chance for Hakan Yakin just for a bit of fun - 8/1.
