This is the last mach for the Greek national team captain and euro 2004 MVP Th.Zagorakis.In fact this the reason why the Greek and Spanish football federation arrange this friendly at first place.The Greek media saying this friendly is "a celebration for the closing football career of the national team captain" and calling the fans to be at the stadium.The game will be played at PAOK's Saloniki stadium, Toumpa .Zagorakis is for a few month now chairman of PAOK and the PAOK fans loves him,so imagine the atmosphere during the game.If this game was for the Qualifiers of euro 2008 i think Greece wouldn have a chance against Spain but this is a different game.Its a party to honor one of the greatest Greek football players.I dont believe Spain gonna play with full strength to win this.
So my selection(with very low stake of course,its a friendly!)
Lay Spain at Betfair, if the value of Spain's win drops around 2.35-2.40 for 15Euros
otherwise more risky Back Draw for a value of 3.4 for a stake of 7Euros
Given that we are being managed by a man with the collective intelligence of a packet of crisps and the tactical guile of dsylexic engraver, I would recommend Denmark to beat Ireland on Wednesday nite.
Staunton, about as useful as a pair of sunglasses on a bloke with one ear.
ivan rakitic will play his first game in national selection, probably not whole match but i am waiting his goal here
da silva has some injurie but said he will play at last one half.
no bigger problem for croatia....coach said they will play like this is not a friendly beciuse real game is soon.
to be objective croatia is a good team with better players than bosnian and odd is too good not to take it
i am waiting an easy win here with bigger margin
I really dont understand why Romania is favourite here especially when this is a friendly game and most of the Europen leagues just started or even didnt yet. I belive that when these 2 teams meet in an elemination game Turkey has the better chances since I dont believe in the squad depth of Romania and not to mention that for me only star in Romanian squad is Mutu. Sure they have good players like Dica, Marica, Chivu but so does Turkey. When I compare the squads, especially for this game, Turkey is much more stronger and I really cant see how Turkey will lose. There is only 1 problem. When Turkey is not motivated, any team can beat Turkey. But, if Turkey wants to win badly, well, anything can happen. But, believe me, with %100 objectivity, Tukey is much mores stronger under normal circumtances. In this prep game , the arrows show Turkey as the underdog and I am very happy to take the risk for these odds. Worst case money back and to conclude, I really cant see Turkey losing. Full stakes.
Having looked over the various games tomorrow this was the one that stuck out for me. Will Hill are currently offering Cameroon at 2/1 which seems like a pretty good price on paper.
I watched a lot of the Asian Cup this year and had high hopes for Japan. In truth I found them to be quite disappointing. They seem to lack that certain spark going forward and against a team as physical as Cameroon I would be suprised to see them get many goals.
Cameroon on the other hand always seem dangerous going forward, especially with Eto'o up front.
Only downside is that it kicks off at 10:30 tomorrow morning and as yet I can't find a definite team sheet.
All the same I think the price is pretty generous.
Good luck with whatever you bet on tomorrow
