They definitely weren't very good in the first half but you could see their approach was pretty cautious to begin with in terms of being economical with their energy. With Algeria doing most of the running in that heat/sun/humidity it was always likely Belgium would kick it up a notch as the game went on.
Belgium were 7/1 seconds before the first goal and 2/1 seconds before the 2nd goal, both times the market is suspended just as I look at it! Damn. The result was pretty much perfect though. Had BTS in two doubles, Belgium to win in a 5-fold, Over 2.5 goals in a single and Algeria +2 all come off. Another 2-1 in the Brazil game please.
Mexico really struggled and needed a very late goal to qualify (if I recall they won 2/10) in qualifying
They weren't impressive against Cameroon either

Got a treble of the three favourites today. Only worried about Brazil, I expect both teams to score at least.
@Brwned fair play!
That was the same for me with Uruguay on Saturday! In reverse though...I had Lukaku any time scorer in a treble... So thats gone!
But I got them in a handicapp -1 as part of a treble...Next up, Brazil BTTS and then Russia (-1) @ 20/1!

Boylesports have just put up Neymar anytime at 11/10 on their Twitter feed. Could be a good shout.
I'll have some of that like.
Fluked it.
$175 net profit so far in this World Cup, starting from just $45 too. I fear to think how much I'd already have if I hadn't bottled Chile (had them -1 at more than 2.5, cashed out and then foolishly put money on Chile -3 thinking they were going to run the riot) and then Uruguay -1 (should have cashed out). Now I cash out when I get the chance - saved me $150 yesterday when I laid US and then backed them ar 1-1.
Guy in work next to me jumped on Belgium at half time £50 on at 13/8 returning £180 but I didn't go on it. Oh, and my bet lost. Again. Ha
He could've got 6/1
Yes but that was at the point when it seemed like they couldn't break Algeria if they played for a week.
We left work for the gym at halftime and wouldn't be able to monitor the score from there.
I don't think he would have backed Belgium for £30 at 6/1 to make £180 that late in the game do he made a good call.
They were comfortably the better team in the Cameroon game and played well in the friendlies I saw them in. They play some good football and are very dangerous. Brazil do not like playing against them either.
I don't think I will touch this game.
I want Mexico to score first as I've got Brazil to win both to score
Mexico 15.0 at 1-0...
Wonder how many people Brazil are about to feck here!
IBoss the wise
Damn them
Jaysus, Brazil really are utter muck!!!!!! They haven't a chance of getting near the finals!!
Even more baffled by Brazil being favourites for the tournament now, such an average side.
I'd take the Germans right now.
Good chance aye. I'm still happy with my bet on Argentina though, as long as they stick with the 4-3-3 formation from now onwards.
Right being as Brazil let me down, gonna look for quick punt on the Russia game...is there anything worth while lads?
Whats the best site for betting? Been using PaddyPower just cause, but is there another that offers similar odds but has more cash out options? I seem to never have the cash out options like Brwned.
I've gone for a straight Russia win, not messing about after that Brazil game
If only I made use of the cash-out option...
Betfair is the one I posted a screenshot of and the one I use most often but it's a betting exchange which is different to Paddy Power. William Hill offers more cash out options (though not as many as Betfair) and is similar enough to Paddy Power with similar/better odds.
I've been given a free £10 bet on Betfair but for reasons unbeknown to me I cannot use it.
Edit: It's vanished now, cnuts!

aye, its pretty cack alright... thinking of Kokorin anytime & russia as two small singles... recoup something back, wont be much!
I'm going to start my own little betting challenge. Going to try and turn £25 in to £500 and then repeat.
£25 Russia win @ 5/6 returns £45.83.
After this I'm going to be picking selections around 1/2 odds until the bank roll hits £200 or so then odds of 1/3 or 1/4 will be selected to be safe.
Wish me luck.

well that went well...russia to be winning at half time or full time @ 8/13
I'll have a bit of that. You make it sound so easy, I want to do it aswell.
I use to love backing Russia a couple of years ago when they played with real flair but I think they look a bit short at 5/6 to win against South Korea, I'll be honest I haven't watched them play since Ireland played them in the Euro qualifiers a couple of years ago and with Capello in charge, I doubt very much they still play with that flair so hard to see value in them
Tough game to back TBH

Korea have lost home and away to Iran in qualifying, drew with Lebanon and Uzbekistan and recently lost to Tunisia and Ghana.
Surely 5/6 is over priced but knowing my luck, probably not!

They're on pretty decent form ATM. Not lost in 10 games (3 draws)
They also beat South Korea in November not that really matters in this game.

I think I'll just go for something different and see how they play tonight because I can never tell with Capello. Just going to do €10 on a header being the first goal of the match just for interest
Stuck a few pound on Spain at 14s for the tournament.
I'm gonna do the same before they play tomorrow.
