FIFA World Cup 2018 - Round of 16 [30th June, 1/2/3 July] **spoilers**
- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
They're going to win it, aren't they?
They really should start with Firmino
If they start with Bobby they might, although he's proving effective to bring on as a super sub so far.
LOL, you basically said you wouldn't take the bet unless I paid you £120 if England win and you pay me £20 if they don't.
If that's how gambling works then I can't say I'm missing anything by never having gambled in my lifetime. And no plans to start with that bet, that's for sure.
As for your questions - they were all revolving around whether I would go to the bookies and place a bet against England. You already have the answer to that because I told you I don't gamble
I'm not bothered whether you've "fin" with me (lol). I look forward to England's inevitable crash out of the tournie. Will be worth it just to bring you lot down to Earth.
They don't have anything but the most marginal of chances, of course.

You're turning down a free £20? After saying England have no chance?

When Neymar gets his ink done, does the artist have to strap him to the table and sedate him?
You sound like the life and sole of any party.
Why can’t you just get behind them and enjoy it whilst it lasts?
It's a safe bet but I'm not going to take any unnecessary risk. £20 is an insignificant amount to win but £120 is a decent chunk to lose. Ergo neither winning nor losing have much appeal.
If you guys want to persist with the idea England can win it, knock yourselves out. It's nonsense tho.

So you admit you were talking nonsense then? There is no risk if they have no chance.
Very good point. They must sedate him.
After this WC, the next tattooist should just put a massive **** and balls on his cheek. If he gets someone sent off in this WC he'll have single handed ruined he tournament.

tbh that would be an improvement on the tattoos he currently has.
What a great sentence. Reminds me of when one of our regional sales managers had "almost unanimous support" for his new project
Really not sure who I want to win tonight's game.
If Japan win, it's another 'big' team out, which is obviously a plus for our hopes (if by some fluke we get past Colombia etc.), but then there's that final 10 minutes they played against Senegal to consider
