    Re: FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005 - fm 10th June Yes, thanks Rashin, I did take the risk and they make the goals, but yes I was thinking it to, buecause using the substitute players. Also caution is the best on many times, I just lost two bets in midweek becuase not been cautious, close to call games and I give it a try and lost. This was in MLS. Also Morocco is doing really good!! Nice pick Rashin DBDF thanks I will suscribe to his picks.

    Re: 2012 Olymic bid Well I just make a small bet to Madrid at 26.00, I have follow information from spanish media and seem to be working for making a very competitive city not only for getting the olympics, because altought they doesn't getting them I think they would conclude more or what they are already building. I think Madrid could be that underdog. But as edtkh said is not really predictable. I just pick my favorite one.

    Why Real Madrid? :eyes 38 rounds 1.Barca 73:29 2.Real Madrid 71:32 3.Atl.Madrid 40:34 ... .. . Nothing's wrong with them.Real Madrid are able to keep the game tight in their own half.On the other hand there are no signs that Germany will improve their performances at the back.Both Hitzlsperger and Schneider are the natural midfielders, not defenders and this example clearly shows that Klinsmann has no idea what he's doing right now.Even their attacking possibilities are very questionable IMO.Yes, they've scoed a lot of goals so far, but we're talking about friendlies.The fact is that most of their forwards, like Lukas Podolski, Mike Hanke or Kuranyi(the guys do have a potential though), are struggling against any serious defense(IMO, Klose is their most useful forward at the moment) and some big changes are necessary if they're to make any success next year.
    I mean real madrid in the aspect that in some games score many goals and receive many. I know there where games where they win a lot. But my aim here was to focus on defense, because is different a tournament with rounds, that a KO tournament, Germany vs Brazil, with current Germany defense, i will back always Brazil, you all know Brazil attack. But the defense of Brazil is also a good one, the problem is that they are never know, but always a very high defenses (with exception of R. Carlos, but he is not coming) and very good. Almos always unknow to the world their names. But hell they do their job and that counts. Remember 2002 World Cup Final. You know the saying: "Offense win games, defense win champioships"

    Xcout, just two questions for you. Firstly, are those 4 Chivas player available for Mexico against Japan today? Secondly, how do you rate their chances after considering the strength of the Mexican squad Lavolpe has at his disposal?
    First of all, Corona is not a Chiva player, he is playing borrowed there. Then available to play will be Ramon Morales,Alberto Medina and Corona (altough I don't see Lavolpe putting him in any game). Omar Bravo will not be able to play because getting injured by players of Boca, so he is out of Confederations Cup. To your second question, well their chances against Japan I will give it a 60%, the problem is that altought Japan problems, one thing will be extra field problems and other playing soccer. Japan is qualified so they can put all in these tournament. And well Mexico is near qualification and in July cames Golden Cup. Mexico strength in the back is a good one with Oswaldo Sanchez GK and in the defense I am doubtful about Aron Galindo, but he was able to do a good against Trinidad and Tobago, not a tough team.

    After that first one losing I have selected: 3pts Germany (-1.5) vs Australia 2.06 Betfair Australia are missing quite a few big name players here and this being hosted in Germany should be a huge boost for the home side. Expectation always high and hopefully we will avoid a similar scenario seen at France vs Senegal and Portugal vs Greece opening games. Germans scoring quite freely too
    I wish you luck on these one, after Argetina won by just one goal to Tunisia. I know these Germany team is more mature, the same basis that they play on 1999 Confederations. So I think a 70% of your bet winning.

    Re: Confederations Cup - June 15th - 29th Of course, I mean they are Boca Juniors at the Bombonera, Libertadores Cup is a tournament that you can win by winning only the home games, of course, never loose by so many goals in away. I mean Boca Juniors will try to win these by 4-0 or 5-0 to qualified. You can see the bookies odd for Chivas winning is 7.00 is a huge one, and I think that they can do it, they are going to be able to use National Team players. Becuase if Chivas manage to bypass Stadium shock (Palencia played with Cruz Azul 4 years ago and make a goal there, in away win 0-1, forcing extra time and then penalties) and let time passes by, Boca will desesperate and leave many spaces that Chivas can make into goals. It all depends how many time it takes to fall the first goal

    Thanks for a bit of clarification' date=' Xcout.;)[/quote'] You are welcome. I have a theory, it is kinda weird, but is a theory. Boca Juniors is one of the biggest team in SouthAmerica, and right now their local league particpation is really not a good one, if they don't win Libertadores Cup, they will not participate next year. So maybe Boca make FIFA notice the situation in Mexico and make pressure. It sounds kinda crazy. But thankful Chivas will be able to count with the players for these match.

    http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/050609/7/3u8t.html Looks like some problems in the Mexican camp just before their first game - missing players @ all...:(
    I hate this, International Media seems not to have national sources, and get to know about Mexican problems when they reach those high level. The problem is this: Mexican National Team send a list with the name of players of Chivas, this list was sent time ago. In that moment a small controversion began becuse Chivas continues to be on Libertadores Cup and they tried to retain their players, but neither Lavolpe coach change the list, neither the Mexican Football Asociation. Blanco absences was also a topic in these time. Then Qualifiying for 2006 came by, and Chivas was allow to borrow players from the National Team and play against BOCA (taking the great home win 4-0) and after the match, they went to the National Team. What happens know is that Chivas work with National Team Directives and where allow to borrow again some of their players to play the next game against Boca and then they flew to Germany to be with the National Team. But while this was discussed Blatter words get into the air about banning the players if they doesn't report with the National Team for the Confederations Cup, because they were on the list. And of course they will report with Mexico National Team, but after Boca - Chivas game. Some word of Blatter really make me angry, he establish that the national team is above any club and that " In the club competitions there is no national identity, as difference of what happens in national team competitions" I am really sorry mister Blatter, but in Chivas only mexican born players play, not even naturalized mexicans can play there as in Mexico National Team does when "Zinha" was called to play. So Blatter should really learn about something before speaking about them. I remember now, sometime around 1997, when Chivas where playing really good soccer, there was comic strip that suggest that for National Team games it would be better if Chivas plays them.

    Re: Confederations Cup - June 15th - 29th I will like to clarified a thing or two. First: Mexico yes has beaten Brazil sometimes, but like in Confederations Cup 1999 Brazil team was not the strongest off all, when Mexico has been able to beat Brazil it was when Brazil take sub-20 team and Mexico Major National Team. Just to take into account, last time they meet in America Cup 2004, Mexico lost 0-4 to Brazil in Piura Peru. And these time it was Brazil Major National Team vs Mexico National Team. Now against Greece and Japan, Mexico could win, but is not certain, Japan is already classified to the World Cup, Mexico is near also, but Greece is far away. I expect low scoring in both matches Mexico vs Japan, and Mexico vs Grecce, taking into consideration that Greece defends very well.
