what the HELL what the HELL

USA to win group?? Id take Italy over check republic anyday and chech republic anyday over Usa. steve comeon man...Netherlands?
Dam you if your predictions are true lol

A lot of it has to do with odds PP100. Italy only pays like 2 to 1 where the USA pays 7 to 1. Ditto with the Dutch 14 to 1 baby!

I think if the US beats Italy in their match they win the group, and I believe the US can beat Italy. Over ten matches with Italy I would expect the US to win 3 of them.

Czech is overrated, one superstar does not make a great team. And the US is pretty strong defensively.

I took Netherlands mainly because they are 14 to 1. But also because I think they do have a chance to win. even if its only 10% its a good bet. Pot odds fellas

lol!! I like the way you think.

Czech republic are going to win the group.
Italy or US second.
I think you've lost your money on both those bets, but the netherlands is probably+EV given the odds. ( You've been reading that Amarillo slim biog and drawing too much from it ^_^ ).

Actually Gryff, I just finished a better book. Fast Company, Stories about Puggy Pearson, Johnny Moss, Tim Holland, Minnessota Fats, Titanic Thompson, and Bobby Riggs. Great book

US vs Czech = Draw
US vs Ghana = Win
US vs Italy = If they win they have the group

**poker player 100** · 12-13-2005

czech is one of the best in the World because of that dam traitor nedVed

Neh..I repect nedVed. Stevo just wants the money lol..if Italy Starts on a good page then they have this group beat. I was wathcing the Italian news thingy about the World Cup and they said they were more afraid of Ghana and czech then the Usa

**Steve Ruddock** · 12-13-2005

The US is a lot better than a lot of Euro countries think.
