Germany is my selection to win it but I have little hope that Australia will win a single match..

I'll go for Germany and Australia and any underdogs that strike my fancy.

Well done lads. Wish I had taken your selection with mine (Argentina) as that final quinella was offered at 11/1 at the start of the tournament.

I have little hope that Australia will even score a goal...
But crazier things have happened.... ala Cartwright contract extension...

[titanslurker]

i keep hearing australia has no chance in any game. isnt that what the aussie spirit is about? we lift when others count us out. we embrace the underdog tag.

Only game one & there's already controversy over a pathetic penalty against Croatia inside the penalty box to the locals giving Brazil an undeserved 2-1 lead with 20 minutes to go.....

The round ball game should follow the rest of the sporting world & use the video for these decisions & penalize the Proffesional Divers

Soccer is its own worst enemy.

Sportingbet.com.au have reneged on their World Cup Promotion for Brazil to score a goal in the first 15 minutes.

For those who don't know, Brazil did score in the 10th minute, it just happened to be an own goal, meaning a Brazilian player kicked it into his own goal, so the point goes to Croatia.

The terms and conditions of this bet did not stipulate which end the goal needed to be scored, just that Brazil needed to score a goal in the first 15 minutes. They have refunded these bets under weight of complaint, but IMO they should be paying out as a winning bet for those who had money on it.

That is a real rookie error for an apparent professional company.

I just liked the Croatian dives and the rolling in agony when they got a love tap, then get up and run at full steam. Makes me sick and the stronger refs need to card these blokes.
That Jap ref this morning even made Ben Cummins look good.
