World Cup: Portugal/North Korea under 2.5 -130

I was absolutely shocked to see this total cone in at two PLUS THE HOOK. Sure you have to pay a bit to play but this could very well be the total of the tournament. Portugal was lucky to come away with scoreless draw with the Ivory Coast being outplayed for much of the game. The Portuguese are extremely sound defensively but have an anemic offense that relies solely on the imagination of Christiano Ronaldo. The North Koreans were arguably the most impressive of the Cup’s second tier and played stone wall defense in a 2-1 loss to tournament fave Brazil. In fact, Brazil’s goals came on amazing individual efforts by Macion and Erano. This will be like Ubaldo Jiminez pitching against the Padres, very few chance and even fewer rewards. Play the Under.

World Cup: Denmark pick -140 over Cameroon

The Danes cruised through qualifications and were most pundits “sexy” underdog shocker along with Chile. Denmark couldn’t have been unluckier in Game I, first catching a very tough Netherlands in the opener, then playing the Dutch square before own goal proved to be their undoing. Denmark has solid World Cup pedigree with the likes of the Laudrop brothers and Lars Preben Elkjaer terroring opponent goals in the 80’s and 90’s. The African contingent has been disappointing this year with just one win in nine matches at this writing. The Indomitable Lions can’t run out Roger Mila here and man-for-man, Cameroon does not match up well. In this loser go home match, Denmark pick minus change looks like one of the easier plays in the tournament.

They say that if you’re not cheatin’, you’re not tryin’. That may be true but with a World Cup berth on the line, this is just outright criminal. Veteran move by Henry but if FIFA is to have ANY credibility whatsoever, it MUST order a replay of this game.

Should Ireland get a replay or should the result stand ???

You make the call
