chuck1160 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 I watched Mexico vs Congo from the 20 min onward and I feel I was very unlucky for Mexico to go up just 5 mins from the first half finishing. Lost that bet. Congo now a man down so Mexico should win the game easily. Congo ended the match with 9 players. The score was 1-1 until about five minutes till the end. Got my money back on my Argentina -1,-1.5 bet and won my bet on Jamaicaa! Very luckyyy! Final score Mexico vs Congo: 2-1 (bet lost) Final score Argentina vs Jamaica: 2-1 (bet won) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPLouis Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 I think there is value on North Korea. They really held their own against Mexico and would have gotten a positive result if not for a red card. Meanwhile Holland were really disappointing vs Congo. Losing 1-0. I thought North Korea were much better in the first half and I don't expect this to be a easy game for Holland. I can see Holland just winning this match by the bare minimum. Holland vs North Korea = North Korea +0.5,1 at Half Time @ 2.1 bet365 Nice one Chuck :ok I thought Holland would easily beat North Korea, but I haven't seen either team play in this tournament like you.

There is a chance that their greater need might result in them raising their game - but it seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Uruguay were quite impressive to say the least vs Canada. But one thing I did Notice was they were a little slow to get going and get into rhythm. Their first goal came on the 56th minute for instance. Meanwhile Rwanda held their own with the score 0-0 up until the 68th minute vs England. I'm planing on taking Uruguay on a live bet. I'm hoping Uruguay wont score in the initial minutes of the game, their price will rise and then I'll place a bet. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

MPLouis Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 Quite looking forward to Burkina Faso U17 v Germany U17 tonight. Germany very hot favourites, but Burkina Faso "a bit of an unknown" and needing something from the game really. My guess is it will be a Germany win, but not sure by how many - maybe 2 or 3? Germany scored 6 against Ecuador, and I'm guessing that Burkina Faso are ranked lower than Ecuador, so maybe people are expecting another rout? I saw Germany v Ecuador and Ecuador stopped defending late in the game which made it a lot easier for Germany to score their goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck1160 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 Nice call with Germany MPLouis. Tomorrow there are some very interesting games. Japan vs Argentina is one of them. The Japs will qualify with a draw or win, meanwhile Argentina need to win to get to the next round. Japan are coming off of a draw with a French team that beat Argentina 3-0. Meanwhile they also beat Jamaica 1-0. Argentina were bad against France, but improved a lot in their second match to beat Jamaica 2-1. Its hard for me to call a winner on this one, but I think Japan definitely have the edge to make it to the next round. Argentina will have to go all out in search of a goal and I think Japan can really hurt them on the counter. I'm going to take Japan on a handicap, probably 1, 1.5 as soon as the bet is available. Japan vs Argentina = Japan +1, 1.5 bet365 Another interesting game is Mexico vs Holland. With the Mexicans already qualified (even if they lose they should still be 1st), I think there is value in Holland. The European Champions need a win to have hopes of getting to the next round, and with little to play for the Mexicans, they should be able to get it. Worst case scenario here I see a draw. So I'll go draw or win for the Dutch in this one. Mexico vs Holland = Holland win or draw @ 1.45 bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan vs Argentina = Japan +1, 1.5 bet365 Japanese sides are normally very hard to score against. They are well organised and fight as a team for every ball and very tackle. They also tend to be good on the break. Haven't seen either of these particular sides, but from my knowledge, the above looks reasonable value. With this game, Argentina have to win, and Japan need a draw to qualify. The pattern will probably be mainly Argentinian attack against Japanese defence until Argentina score. If Argentina get an early lead they have the advantage, if Japan are at least drawing at half time, Argentina will leave more space at the back for Japan to exploit on the counter. If this is 'Alternative Asian Handicap, Bet 365 odds have gone down to 1.375 - less value than 1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the report on the Fifa website, Holland had plenty of possession in their first two games (against Congo and North Korea) - http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/matches/round=255973/match=300151836/preview.html From a distance (not having seen either team play) it looks as though there may be some value with Holland at around 13/8. Mexico are slight favourites, but I'm not sure they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck1160 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 Did you see the games Chuck? I watched most of Japan vs Argentina and thought that Japan were definitely much better. Argentina was weak as they had been their two previous games. I think this Cup has shown that the "favorites" to win by the bookies are being overrated as I believe most teams aren't very far away from each other. Today we have England vs Uruguay in almost a meaningless match, and I'm expecting a draw. Both teams will be happy with the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. They are looking very sold at the moment. Mexico on the other hand I feel have been very lucky. They were lucky against North Korea being down 1-0 most of the game. Korea getting a man sent off definitely didn't help. Korea deserved a draw. They were also lucky against Congo 1-0 up and with Congo a man down, Congo managed to get the equalizer. Mexico only managed to score the winner 4 minutes from the end when Congo were playing 9 vs 11. vs Holland, Mexico was 2 goals up, despite Holland being the better side (story of this world cup for holland). Holland managed to get it 2-2. Mexico won it in extra time. I don't expect the home team getting very far this world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyfinny Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Re: U17 World Cup 2011 Quite how Mexico won against Holland is beyond me. Perhaps it's because I had laid Mexico before hand. Bad keeping, so much luck in the first half, yet took their two chances. If there had been a market for the penalty to be missed, it was so obvious that the keeper that couldn't catch a ball would save a penalty. I then made the error of not levelling out profit after the equaliser, and just had it break even with big profits for the draw + Holland. Mexico were 21/1 on the exchange near the end but rather greedily I was queueing for 900s (there is sometimes a bite, albeit for pennies).

The irony is, if either side had won they would almost certainly have qualified as a best "3rd-placed side", but it finished 0-0 !! Rwanda had much the better of the game, but Canada seemed to have more experience and composure. If Rwanda had taken their time in front of goal, they would probably have won, but they seemed to rush things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's quite right Chuck. According to the usually reliable Wikipedia page on this tournament, Denmark will qualify if they beat Australia by 3 goals - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_FIFA_U-17_World_Cup Fifa's preview confirms that qualification is still possible for Denmark - http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/matches/round=255973/match=300151838/preview.html It's a long shot, but not impossible. I think Denmark will attack, but Australia will probably get at least a draw - so I think your bet is pretty good value - although according to the Wikipedia article, Australia will qualify anyway if they don't lose by 3 goals, so that complicates things. Remember teams can qualify by finishing 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
