after sterling performance in first game, and winning man of the match, without scoring, i have re-invested my refund on xavi for tonights game at 7/1

davidti · 19th June 2006, 20:50

I've had a smallish bet on Luis Garcia. Will either give the ball away loads or do somthing special so 10s is decent.

julzdyer · 19th June 2006, 22:51

Alonso??

Granted, there were several candidates but Alonso wasn't one of them IMO

Am starting to piss away some of my winnings now. What was I thinking of with Garcia for god's sake. Voronin wasn't much better.

Definitely on Ballack though.

Good thread gents.

In tonights England v Sweden game Rooney is the obvious favourite and at 11/2 hold a bit of appeal. Any sort of decent performance from Rooney will make him stand out in this side at the moment. There is talk of Gerrard being rested and I have a feeling that FIFA are looking to share out the MOM's (in the group stages anyway) and with Beckham and Lampard already having received MOM awards that leaves Owen, Cole and Hargreaves? from the midfield/striking positions. Rooney at 11/2 is a bet for me though.

For Sweden the 14's about Freddie is too big but with him already having picked up a MOM I am a bit wary of getting involved there. Larsson is the type of player FIFA love to give these to and if Sweden get any sort of result he will have to come into the reckoning.

Don't want to put you off, david, but with Ballack on a yellow I wouldn't expect him to be as aggressive as usual. Something his game needs. Imo he will also be the first one to be substituted once Germany takes a one or two goal lead.

Cue the Ballack hattrick........

have to totally agree with freddie at 14/1, and have duly taken some of it.

also agree with rooney, if he plays ok then he will still win the award and 11/2 is also big

other fancies today :

wanchope, scored a couple already, always noticed due to his lanky stride and poor control, worth an interest at 9/1

lahm for the germans, won the man of the match for their win over the poles and is in my opinion one of the players of the tournament so far, so 18/1 with 365 is a definite play

finally, dwight yorke at 5/1 generally is worth a bob or two, mainly because the other 21 players are not known to fifa and yorke will just smile for 90 minutes to win the award.

good luck all who play

ozz · 20th June 2006, 13:04

Some more names lobbed into the hat

Agustin Delgado - already won two and obviously liked by the technical committee. Plus I don't see this as a walkover for Germany.

Any of the Ecuadorian back four - especially if they can hold the bosh goalless.

John Terry - big price if he puts on his usual sterling performance.

ilunga · 20th June 2006, 13:26

Just Rooney for me today. 11/2 is too big.

julzdyer · 20th June 2006, 16:49

please take off klose now.............

ilunga · 20th June 2006, 16:52

I second that. Get big Asamaoah on.

julzdyer · 20th June 2006, 17:53

Ballack, surprise and
Bartosz Bosacki

good shout on ballack

davidti · 20th June 2006, 18:02

Cheers chaps.

Had a decent punt on that one so well ahead again.

Reminder to self: Dumb-ass obvious picks are good, dumb-ass obvious picks are good....

ilunga · 20th June 2006, 20:23

Good stuff David.

I'm having a few quid on Dos Santos at 16s. I'm surprised he has been kept on the bench until now. I'm sure he'll be itching to prove a point. Paraguay have seriously disappointed with their forward play so far. Touted as Michael Ballack's long-term replacement at Bayern, I'll be interested to see how he performs here. He definitely starts, unlike Rotan

davidti · 20th June 2006, 20:59

I think that Nelson Cuevas is a real talent but he doesn't start.

Have cracked just before kick-off and taken the 11/2 about Rooney.

Also had a little on Lampard at 9s. FIFA not afraid to give award to same player twice and he really must ping one in soon. With Hargreaves sitting he should be able to roam freely. Yes, he's on yellow card but not too bothered by that.

ozz · 20th June 2006, 23:07

Lampard at 9's Dave? - I was just offering 9's that he actually played in the second half

Can anyone pick a man of the match out of that shite?!
