Eamon Dunphy is threatening to sing. Fuck me he's drunk already!

[Lineker]

Gutted about Nelson Mandela and the loss of his great-granddaughter. RIP

[Dan]

Reilly thought it was his Grandmother :|

[King Ellis]

Nothing really tragic about a 150 year old woman dying.

[EddieG]

Anybody else think the South African president looks just like Teddy Long ?

[King Ellis]

Are they going to have a minutes vuvu for Mandela's granddaughter?

[Farmer Reil]

Fuck you Dan, I said I was told it was his grandmother. I realised the mistake immediately. ¬_¬

[DavidMarrio]

i hate Blatter, Also YAY WORLD CUPS FINALLY STARTING :D

[King Ellis]

Remember when Edge and Christian used to play theme music on kazoos? Well now we're going to play the national anthems on the vuvus.

What an odd salute Mexico has...

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

All black people look the same to Eddie.

[IAceI]

World Cup.

FUUUUUCCCCKIIING BRRINGGG IT ON

Best month ever coming up.

[Dan]

So I went and stuck a few bets on, nothing major.

Accumulator:

South Africa v Mexico

Uruguay v France

South Korea v Greece

Argentina v Nigeria

England v USA

Algeria v Slovenia

Serbia v Ghana

Germany v Australia

Holland v Denmark

New Zealand v Slovakia

Ivory Coast v Portugal (draw)

Brazil v North Korea

Honduras v Chile

Spain v Switzerland

2900/1

Don't think it's too bad, if any fuck me up, it'll be the Ivory Coast match, Serbia match or the Korea match.

Stuck some money on South Africa to beat Mexico 2-1 at 8/1 too, despite it going against my accy, Pienaar to get first goalscorer at 11/1, and both together at 75/1 as well as Mexico at H/T, SA at F/T.

Likewise with the France game, France to win 3-0 at 16/1, Govou to score first at 11 and both together at 115/1.

Edit: Ellis informs me we have a gambling thread, but it's more my predictions for the World Cup turned bets, so yeah

The hardest matches probably on your accumulator are Serbia/Ghana and South Korea/Greece but i think you've got a pretty safe bet

I haven't bet on this game but i can see this game being a 2-1 win to Mexico

you should get most of them right. Odds only like that cause of the amount of games and the fact you've got a draw in there I remember i got 10/15 games right on a 1 pound accumulator that would have won 2.7mil cause it was made up of draws and random European football games

[Farmer Reil]

lol, France.

I don't know which is the more lolworthy; backing them in the first place or expecting them not to fuck your accy up.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Lol at anyone who bet on South Africa winning this comfortably.

[Farmer Reil]

We need this referee in the Premiership. He's awesome. Like, actually, genuinely awesome.

[Dan]

France are shit, but Uruguay only JUST qualified, needing a play-off like France and I just think France will see them off.

[naiwf]

It sounds like someone left a microphone next to the world's largest beehive.

Was this opening game supposed to be competitive?
