It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Anybody got an updated daily odds match fixture list so that we can check and bet on the individual games?????????????????????????........AND Groups.

Not being a gambler dont know where to find one , would be appreciated, and if RF could place it in the header.

Should give us a chance to debate the games each day.

eg, what are the odds on Brazil to beat Croatia tonight?.

Can you do doubles etc etc.

Kill Joys.

The only double i want to do GF is skinnys post 3071 ..

gf - Take a look at Willi Hill online, fill your boots on there.

Will do cheers Chris...............ps, anyone else think the ref tonight was a Home Banker???????????

Penalty and goal disallowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes no difference to me as I had Brazil but that Ref!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

It could happen to England as it usualy does.

A clear penalty, the Croatian defender clearly pulled the Brazilian forward's shoulder putting him off balance momentarily, I agree the fall was "theatrical" but make no mistake it was a stone bonker penalty and the ref. should be congratulated on the correct decision.

The media always look for something to go on about (when there is nothing) for their own ends remember.

Come off it Stan.

If thats the standards we are going to abide by in this World Cup might aswel make it a NON contact sport and have all sissy boys playing the game.

What a shambles it will be if all the teams now instruct their forwards to keep going over in the box.

You miss the point G/F.

NO i think you miss the point, as this is a spectator sport we dont want it ruined by piss poor refs that FIFA have briefed before the play starts.

Have you played the game at any level?

The fall was theatrical //sissy boys ,sounds like a game of football to me ..

Yes I was a semi pro junior for Huddersfield Town.

I played in a game against your own steve kindon.

But please Stan dont tell me that back then the penalty would have been given....YES it would but we are in a different era now.

We dont want refs spoiling the game for spectators.

Nothing to do with spoiling or not, the referee made the correct decision and should be congratulated and not castigated for it.

The laws of the game were upheld.

Well if you want to watch a World Cup for a month with cheats dominating thats up to you. I certainly dont and I dont think the majority do either.

He didnt pull him back he just placed his hand on his shoulder and then he dived.

Even the croatian coach says "we might aswel go home if this is whats going to be the norm in games".

See BBC fax site.

Now that I've tipped the Brazilians to win this....not sure ....further down the line : better teams and less home luck await....

People's lack of knowledge of the laws of the game never cease to surprise me.. even the so called professionals within the game who don't know the basic Laws.

The problem in competitions like the world cup is that : players go down like they've been shot when running into the penalty area....what pisses me off is defenders holding forwards with arms blocking players movement....goes unpunished all the time...
