Place your Bets

Three more games today, day four of the W. C. in Germany – WC indeed, ‘cause so far nothing but turds have ran down the pitch, compared with what’s still to come:

Tomorrow (knees are trembling already) the beast is unleashed - almighty Brasil is coming into competition, and other potential winners such as France, Spain (and Italy, playing as I write) are in my shortlist to play the final, in Berlin. Maybe Argentina too. These should be the best teams in the tournament and if you have some money to spare, I’m opening a betting joint right here on this blog – just say how much you're putting down to loos… I mean, bet, and let the Teamgeist* roll!

Check out the odds:
