Bookies are making a killing, I reckon.
Anyway, today's wasted loose change...
SUI v CR Draw
Serbia to WIN
Mex v Sweden Draw
Treble @ 75/1
Not taken it, but IMO the 5/1 on Serbia to beat Brazil is very generous. Brazil limped past Costa Rica and Serbia have looked good - only losing to Switzerland due to an outrageous refereeing decision.

I have backed Serbia today @ 11/2.
Nothing for me yet in the earlier games though that might change after the teams are announced.
Added Mexico outright last night @ 35/1. Still haven't seen a team that stands out especially and Mexico's route to the semi finals might be reasonably manageable if results go as expected. England really could do with finishing second in their group so tomorrow could be a farce though I suspect this (nonsensical) "momentum" theory will appear and they will try and win!

Obviously that could all change after the 3pm games tomorrow...

Mats Hummels to be carded at 7/1 is overpriced with Skybet if they will accommodate you.
I have for yonks fully expected Germany to get caught out playing the high line with Neuer sweeping behind but it never seems to happen. He is 20/1 to be carded with 365 if today could be that day. Also throws in the possibility of a timewasting card in the event of the Germans holding a slender lead late on.

Have a priceitup: Neuer AND Muller to be carded @ 92/1
Oh, and another thing [MENTION=7323]Betfair Bozo[/MENTION] - the shrewd kids... I only just got round to asking the younger one what his were - he had my phone and a budget of THREE POUNDS to play with.
He took ages, but amongst them he has Muslera of Uruguay for Golden Glove @ 33/1 - three games in, he has three clean sheets.

125/1 on Bet365 under build a bet.
BetVictor is constantly ****ing me over. Must get round to binning it off.

To be honest, I often think that about Bet365.
I'm on Sweden to beat Mexico. I have always felt Mexico have been a little flattered after their great performance against an out of sorts Germany, but fully expect them to revert to being bang average again. Sweden are exactly the sort of team who will cause them problems.

Well done Simster.
First of the ante post wagers lands with Kendall Waston finishing as Costa Rica top scorer on 1.

Sassi (Tunisia) 2 or more goals @ 40/1 and hat trick @ 500/1. Usual penalty taker and playing against Panama who we have seen are not alien to conceding a spot kick or two. Obviously he might not start but I suspect the price might go.
Poland red card @ 8/1 and Japan to win in various high scoring ways.
No bet on the England game.
More to come later possibly.

Just about stopped fuming over Spain's exit...
One stand out price (imo) with Victor on the England game. 1st goal to be an England header @ 10/1. Hardly needs explaining.

Gone for Stones FGS @30/1

Small bet Uruguay. Would have been bigger but Cavani out is no good (in more than 1 respect.)
Backed Godin and Pogba to be carded.
Fully expect Brazil to win later. Have backed them to win and BTTS, to score 3+ and 4+.

Both games to be 90min DRAWS @ 10/1
Looks a VERY decent bet. You can't even get that on the exchanges at the moment, as the draw odds multiply up to 10.94 (or 9.94/1 if you prefer).
I've Dutched a few bookie offers, which collectively amount to a bet against Uruguay winning in 90 mins as I've "under-backed" that option by £30 or so. I just don't see Uruguay winning in 90 mins without one of their two world class (ish) strikers. They could still go through though, as they're well equipped to contain the French attack.

Suarez anytime scorer & Uruguay win 7/1
