Well done Socceroos! And what a great World Cup goal from Leckie 👍👍👍

We are into the round of 16! For the second time since 2006 in Germany. And the first time ever in the history of Australia in World Cup to win two matches back to back !

Zero chance. We are a below average team with not one single world class player and a mug journeyman coach.
We have already over achieved by making it to the World Cup Finals.
Still I will be up early, and staying up late cheering on the Socceroos again, just like I have been for decades.
It always ends in tears though.

Amazing result! I am so glad I got this wrong!
Leckie's goal was Messiesque!
It was totture watching this because we were literally playing against two teams - Denmark and Tunisia.
Tunisia beat the France B team so a Denmark goal at any time would have meant we were out!
Watching the other games now to see who our opponent will be.
it's either Poland, Argentina or Saudi Arabia.
I hope it's Argentina. Will be great to play against the living legend Lionel Messi

So tired. Really glad I stayed up for it though. That was a great game

Now lets hope Korea can cause another upset and defeat Portugal and make it 3 Asian teams in the Final 16.

All we need is just one more upset! If our Socceroos can send Messi to his World Cup retirement!

Why not? And don’t forget to bet wider:

Australia to win in extra time is $101 to 1,

Australia to win in penalty shoot out is $26 !

If anything, this World Cup has taught us that Argentina, Brazil, France and Spain could all be beaten by much lower ranked teams. All former world champions,

And the 4 times World Cup winner Germany had already gone home !

Ps. I am having a few bets in the races today, all with bonus bets return and I will put those bonus bets into good use……….haha

After a couple of months and 62 matches, we are now down to Argentina and France for the ultimate prize in the sporting world . The FIFA World Cup.

Has anyone been making some money by betting on the World Cup matches ?

I won a few same game multis thanks to Messi and Mbappe winning and scoring. And Brazil too.

And then I put $100 on Argentina to win at $6.50 and $100 on France at $6.00 before the quarter finals and $50 on AF Exacta @$7.40 and FA @$6.75

Two of those bets are sure win now , so I’ll just enjoy the match on Monday morning .

May be put $20 on Messi to score the first goal @$5.10 ?

Go Argentina

Go Messi

[AHLUNGOR]

Everyone ready for the World Cup Final ??

Mbappe 2 - Argentina 2, we have extra time.

[AHLUNGOR]

Mbappe 3 - Argentina 3, we have more penalty

Finally, Messi has reached the football summit and fullfilled his destiny!


Ps. Fancy scoring a hat trick in a World Cup final and on the losing side.

Yeah I managed to win $3k. My track record in World Cups has been pretty good, net wins most of the time.

This WC, I went for lots of small bets on some crazy multis. Hit one, 6 games multi from the last 16 through to a couple of QF matches, $1.5k win on a $5 bet.

I also put $100 on Argentina to win the Cup right after they lost to Saudi. I just had a feeling about Messi this time, and the odds given were very good value considering the team and who was in it!

Also hedged some of my bet by betting on France to win the Cup before their SF (no offence to Morrocan fans, they had a lot of luck getting to the SF). Boy, if I hadn't put that hedge, I would've had a heartattack this morning watching the final!

Congratulations to Messi and Argentina, deserved champions of the World!

Same here, won some same game multi when Messi and Mbappe were scoring in earlier matches, plus pick the winner, over 2.5 goals and both team scoring. And used the winning to put $100 each on Argentina and France to win plus $50 each on the Exacta with Argentina/Frances and France/Argentina. So this morning I was just enjoying the game because either way I would collect over a grand .

Could have been a lot more if the match was settled in normal time. Most of my SGM were loss by one leg because it was a draw and extra time which don’t count.

Except one bet of $20 @$15.75 with Di Maria and Mbappe scored a goal, both team to score and over 2.5 goals !! That’s three sessions of RnT for me……. Haha.

But winning money aside , happy to see Messi finally wins a World Cup and fulfilling his destiny. He is now indeed the best player of his generation.

Sorry CR7, you ain’t good enough.
