I feel like the bookies would laugh in your face if you bet on him.
Golden Boot
- Thread starter Scrumpet
- Start date
Haven't put my bets on yet but thinking either Martinez for Colombia or Higuain. Might put small bets on either Dzeko or Lukaku as an outsider
Was thinking the same as regards Higuain and Dzeko pretty decent odds too.
Diego costa at 33/1 on betfair which seems a decent punt
I dont think so
he will only be 30 in Russia and he could even make 2022 at 34 so he still has plenty of time to leave his mark.
though personally I think cl has now become more important than world cup but that is of course subjective.
still if he captained Argentina to a win in Russia scoring 10 along the way and a hat trick in the final I think a quiet competition this time would be overlooked
Torres will score three against Australia and another one or two once Spain bring him on when they are leading 2-0 and the opposition leaves a lot of space in the defence.
Why you obsessed with himI'm hoping the exact opposite, another "Messi chokes on the big stage" headline will be good to see...
He's probably score enough in that piss-easy group and easy round of 16 games to be topscorer anyway.
Did he decline you an autograph?
I imagine the odds are so good that's because of the doubt over his fitness.
Its,stupid that you have to win a world cup to be considered goat
The world cup isnt the best comepetiton anymore
I agree... The cl is imo the pinacle so whilst in maradona and peles time perhaps a wc was the ultimate stage I dont think that is the case now
Torres. Will come off the bench and score goals when teams are tried after playing against Cesc as false 9.
I don't like him, is that not allowed?
Where did i say it wasnt allowed? Its just ive read many posts from you about him and its strange. There is no way a rational person can dislike somebody they have never met as much as you dislike him.I don't like him, is that not allowed?
May i ask is your dislike of,him because Ronaldo is,your favourite player and Messi is Ronaldos biggest challenger?
Not really, more to do with Barca costing United 2 CLs, particularly that first one when their star player in the 2nd leg against Chelsea was Ovebro.
It's got to be Klose, surely?!
Lol so you dislike a player because a referee was poor in a game that sent them through? Shouldnt you dislike Ovebro then?
Whats that got to do with Messi lol? Its not like he had anything to do,with the major decisions that were made. If thats why you dislike him then i dont know what to say.
Just tell the truth. You dislike,him because he is a threat to Ronaldo. Nothing more nothing less.
Gone halves with a friend, had £200 on him at 25/1.
I dislike Barcelona and he's their icon.
There are several, for me. Mandzukic, Muller, and Neymar are two who are the most likely for me. Following them are Dzeko, Suarez, and van Persie.
I don't expect Higuain to start.
He will start.
That's three.
Messi for me anyway, should get a few in the group and then probably another one or two in the knockout stages.
He's not going to play that much, though. It doesn't seem like Low will start with Klose in many of the matches Germany will play.
As much as I really want Klose to break the record and do very well in this World Cup, I don't think Low will give him the chance to do so, instead opting for more dynamic, all-rounded players up front.
Sure
I don't care if you dislike him. You can want to kidnap him if you want.
Just be honest with it, which you are not being!
Who will start up front for France... Giroud or Benzema or both? Argentina is a tricky one in choosing one out of the three big boys. Do you think they'll play the three of them together in all matches?
cristiana ranalda
Benzema for France. And I believe that Argentina line up with Aguero and Messi either side of Higuain. Higuain is my bet for top scorer.
Yeah, liking the look of Higuain myself. Easy enough group and read a few articles that said he's the one who plays furthest up field for the Argentinians with Aguero dropping deeper. I was just thinking that it might be risky because they have so many options really, with Messi the only one that's 100% guaranteed to start each game.
If he manages to get fit till the world cup, he will play, and rightfully so.
He is, when fit, still an exceptionel striker and just the right one for what Löw wants from a striker regarding game participation and assisting while adding a threat at headers that's missing otherwise.
That was my thinking as well, but it seems as though he starts every game for them as part of that trio with Messi and Aguero. Very good odds at 20/1 IMO.
You wouldn't be saying this if we were discussing Terry, Gerrard, Suarez, or Barton.
Think I'll put an e/w bet on him since Paddy Power are offering a fiver free bet everytime your top goalscorer scores if you've put 20 on him. Can't see any of the three not hitting the back of the net this tournament.
Sergio Aguero, Thomas Muller and Fred would be my tips.
Does that offer still stand? Didn't realise that they were doing that. Was planning on putting 20 on anyway.
Yeah it still stands. £5 free bet on the opening game if you put a £10 bet on the outright winner too by the way, if you were planning to do a bet on it.
Yep, still offering it now as far as I know. I'm on the site, still wondering which one of the three to put it on! But yeah, think they'll all score really.
Aguero's dodgy injury record this season put me off him, so it was between Messi and Higuian for me, and Higuians odds are much better, for obvious reasons!
Im stuck between Neymar, Muller and Suarez. Im going to go for "Nullez".
It's more than likely manager will start the three of them in the group games so yeah, I went for Higuain too cuz of his odds. Only did that because of the offer with Paddy Power though... otherwise you'd have to really go with Messi.
Let's hope so. I personally don't see Low selecting him due to his age and lack of dynamism, but if he does, I'll be very happy as a football fan.
