| From a betting perspective I think this is a very attractive game. Two teams meet that have achieved their pre-tournament stated goals in qualifying for the knockout stages. But both can "smell" more. Ironically, the team that fancies itself less (if that makes any sense) will prevail imo. The perceived favourite may struggle under the expectations. I'm going to keep it simple and have backed the Ukraine to qualify at value odds of 2.28.

| I think the odds are about right... Ukraine were very ordinary and very lucky vs Tunisia. The Swiss haven't set the world alight but have done all they needed to, and are worthy favourites imo. I'm on both at similar prices in the outright, so will leave well alone, but I fancy my chances more if the Swiss go through.

| Crap. If I'd have known you could do that I'd have taken my laptop into the living room. Nice call colo. You were right about it being each of two. Boring game but I don't think Ukraine are any worse than Italy. |
