    right, I put my bet on.


    I got Brazil to win the cup and Ronaldo as golden boot winner for 66/1.

    heh, I thought it was worth a shot.

    Mmm. Not bad. P'raps the fact that everyone is discounting Brazil might help them...
    I'm not going to bet. This year I said Leeds would win the Premiership...

    well, that was the case but, I thought they were pretty good odds, and it's a long shot.

    I don't mind Brazil but hear this. If it came dow to England winning the world cup, or me pocketing my 660 dabs. I'd pick the dabs every time.

    j/k, I'd still want England to win. :) and that's the honest truth.

    see, I'd probably want the money, so I wouldn't make a bet on who's going to win.

    When England got knocked out against the Argies, one of my knobbish friends had put a bet down on Argentina to beat England. When they went out on penalties, the place was silent apart from that cockjockey shouting yes! won me £30! thankyou very much. He was close to the most severe beating of his life that night.

    well, the way see it, if it comes down to England winning the cup or me winning the money, either way I win.


    but 660 quid would be nice.


    EDIT. Also, my bet is no where near certain. Lets say Ronaldo is injured, or well out of the race for the golden boot. It doesn't matter if Brazil win or not.

    Another reason why I placed the bet. :)

    I'd be happy to lose that bet if England won it.

    Well, I keep thinking about it and I keep doubting that ronaldo's gonna win the golden boot.

    One bad tackle on that bloke and my bets not worth the paper it's printed on.

    my best mate had a bet on England vs Romania in France '98. A score prediction. But he didn't tell us, so when he cheered both England and Romania goals everyone was really confused.

    If Ronaldo is worth anything, he should bag a few in the first round (China, Costa Rica, and Turkey...). 6 usually does it. He might have them by the 2nd round.

    lol! I have to admit that I've bet against Man U in the past. I was given odds of 70/1 for Liverpool to beat Utd 3-1 with Owen scoring the first goal. I wasn't happy about the result, but I won £70. To assuage my guilt, I put the same bet on Utd to win 3-1 with Van the Man scoring first...

    Thats what I'm hoping.


    However, looks like England could meet Brazil in the quarters.

    I'd still want England to win though.

    If england are runners up in their group, and france and brazil win their groups, we get France in the 2nd round and then brazil. We'll just have to win the group. Cause two big matches like that would be very draining.

    And then possibly the might of Turkey or Russia in the quarters. Before hitting France/Brazil in the semis...
