Really tempted to get on the Argies very big now. The way my night is going though it prob won't work out if I do it and will if I don't.

And just did it. Come on Messi! Come on the Argies!

[cardshark202]

Lol, assuming nerves dont get to him.

Just to let you know, nerves, injuries, even if a UFO drops into Centre Court, wont stop Nadal winning.

care to wager, betfair have nadal as 4/6 fave, djok at 6/4

[eagle eye]

I love the way the ref has a can and draws lines for the ball and wall in South American football. It should be brought in over here imo.

[The Situation]

LOL lavezzi tilting hard out there. Never seen him pass so poorly.

[hotspur]

Just joined you on the Argies at 11/10. Not not big though.

[dannydiamond]

Danny Diamond is a genius.

Nice goal for DannyDiamond!

[ArmaniJeans]

Nah, the way we do it is best imo - regardless of whether the ref is John Cleese or Tyrion Lannister he paces 10 steps whilst behind him the attacking team moves the ball forward. Then he turns back towards the ball and the defensive wall edge forward.
Its tradition.

Don't say I never gave you one to start in the other place. There would be some epic responses to a thread like that I'd say.

Edit: Thats epic in a lolbad way I mean.

[hotspur]

How any manager could ever leave DiMaria on the bench is a mystery to me.

[hotspur]

Correct substitution that. Was going to suggest it but couldn't spell the guy who came off

[dannydiamond]

Yup. Aguero could do mucho damage here.

[Sledgejammer]

Yeah surprised it took as long as it did, kun could change this match and add some much needed spark

[eagle eye]

Personally I can't believe that Banega is still on. Imo Javier Pastore should be playing and he is the perfect foil for Messi and Tevez.

[The Situation]

Cracking finish from Kun.

[eagle eye]

Cracking goal from Aguero.

[Sledgejammer]

Zanetti is some man...

Wonder if this will change the front three line up for the rest of the tournament?

[dannydiamond]

Yup. Aguero could do mucho damage here.

!


Hold for the draw please! I won't hold my breath though.

[hotspur]

Eagle Eye your misclick for under 5 corners this have must be good is it?

[nicnicnic]

Sportingindex.com mainly, very seldom do, huge varience but great if you like a gambool. I'd say rugby punters would have a lot of fun spread betting on points totals in games.

try cricket-darts-snooker-tennis

[eagle eye]

Eagle Eye your misclick for under 5 corners this have must be good is it?

No, 5 exactly. Just not my night at all.

Edit: Just paid on it. Sweet, got something back. Still not a good night though.

[The Situation]

Ship the 14 corners. Looked to have sick potential at half time but still a result.

Deligted the argies didn't knock in plenty which helps my top goalscorer bets too.

[Lord Sir Banter]

What is the format of the Copa, is it two groups? Trying to find a link with them and failing...


Good old Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Copa_Am%C3%A9rica

[hotspur]

Surprised to lose the over 5 corners in the 2nd half bet. Will revisit that for the Brazil game with the similar system up front that they will adopt with Neymar and Robinho to the side of Pato. Would like to do spread bet for the sweat. Can't be bothered signing up another account though.

Argie manager should be sacked for his team selection imo.

There was very little movement in midfield. When the Argies had the ball at the back they had nowhere to pass it. Can't believe Pastore didn't at least get a run. I think he is the new Xavi, he is only getting there but he is just awesome. He can put through that killer ball and he can also beat players. With Tevez, Messi and whoever else in front of him he will give defenders nightmares I think. Banega is a very talented footballer as is Di Maria but you don't need wingers when you are playing three forwards imo. One man in the centre in front of Cambiasso and Mascherano would make things a lot easier I'd imagine.

[dannydiamond]

I've gone in again for Bolivia, and for the draw.

i know it's nuts but i'm sensing a wee bit of ref skuldeggery, only small but at big prices.
If Lavezzi scores first i'm out ahead anyway!

That'll do. Draw was 13/2 at the time.

Was on Bolivia for 50/1 on Boyles after about 35/40 mins with the score at 0-0.

My reasoning was flawed though, ref was fine, Bolivia were dogged and the Argies were pretty shite.

[Lord Sir Banter]

As per the wiki link, what is the BT1 AND BT2 teams that make it through to the knock out? Are they best two teams that finished third out of the 3 groups?

Having 8 players get through group stages with 12 teams is a bit lol, they seriously need to add 4 more teams minimum.

[dannydiamond]

Agreed, those 8-a-side matches are shite.

I agree with you - I get annoyed by these competiions where 8 of 12 get through, or 16 of 24 which the Euros is going to have in 2016.

I've always been a bit intrigued by South America football and the way 3 or 4 countries don't even seem to have a team, the likes of Surinam, Guyana etc.
I'm sure they can play a bit of footie, and a 16 team Copa would be good.

Research it for me maybe?

Theres no etc. There is only Surinam and Guyana and if they wanted to play in it then Conmebol would just stop inviting two teams and still have 12 I'd imagine.

I'd suspect Conmebol quite likes having 70,000,000 Mexico viewers plus an open invite to a 12th nation - Surinam and/or Guyana would just destroy that lucrative market?

Neither of them are part of Conmebol so its not an issue right now. They play in the in the Concacaf. I suppose its more suitable for them with a lot of weaker nations but its kinda crazy that at team on a continent can play in a different soccer region. I don't think it will ever change and the Copa America will continue to invite two teams. Can't see it ever going to 16 though, the member states would never agree to that I don't think.

[ArmaniJeans]

Guyana


Surinam

I was kinda hoping for an explanation of how some South American countries had fallen so far behind in football terms that they don't get invited to their own continental championships.

But you gave me their anthems.

You shall go far in the wolfpack.

[Lord Sir Banter]

The Wolfpack move as one cohesive unit.

[NewApproach]

Urgh I'm such a stupid pisshead at times.

Came home the other night and decided it would be a good idea to change my Windows password because some of the other lads knew it and I didn't trust them for some reason. Now of course I can't remember it.

The laptop does have face recognition, but that only works a small bit of the time. So eventaully I was able to get in and set up another user, but it's very frustrating.

Does anyone know how to change a password on an administrator account on W7? I haven't got a password key thing either, FWIW.


edit:
BOOM! Was able to delete the password on my proper account using the other account I set up. So happy. Just done a little jig

god help us

That's Cher Lloyd is complete shit. I'm actually dumber for having watched that video. Swagger fucking Jagger.

I actually got to 2.19 watching that fucking shite. Def ban for DP for putting us through that! she annoyed the tits off me when she was in X-Factor and her face still wants to make me kill baby penguins. She is one annoying chick!

is MSN back yet?

She wont be back for a while. She away at the minute for a weekend with her hubby and kids. I am sure she reading the BBV but she just spending time playing poker, reading books and having early nights at the min.

[greywolf]

The missus is still complaining, even after I bought her nice bag and matching belt for her birthday

Quade Cooper is just awesome.

[ghostface]

My fucking head rugby should solve this

[eagle eye]

I say again, Quade Cooper is awesome.

*Disclaimer: He may be a poor defender

[Emmet]

@ Ste, http://www.norwaysport.co.uk/

Quade-Cooper is now what BOD was when he came on the scene, he's just doing things that other people can't even think about.

Even though he kicks about as well as I do off my left, he's absolutely incredible to watch.

Genia, Quade-Cooper, Beale, O'Connor. We can't really compete come WC time.

[eagle eye]

Reds fell asleep there.

[Emmet]

Absolute gift of a try alright.

Is there nobody on the reds that can kick eagle eye? QC just can't do it, he shouldn't have the added pressure tbh, doesn't need it.

I know for Aus they pretty much can all kick, but none of the Reds backline?

[eagle eye]

No none of the Reds can kick. Ginea has even tried it and he was lolbad. Its something they have to look at for next year. I never liked Cooper as a kicker but then he started this Superman thing and it just looks awful and the results are quite often awful. He has been better this year in fairness but still nowhere near good enough.

[Emmet]

Pro rugby teams with a sub 70% kicker don't win as much as they should.

Making life a lot more difficult than it needs to be.

[eagle eye]

Unless you have magic in your team like that!

[Keane]

Opening night of my mom's pub last night was unreal craic. She was determined that I wasn't paying for a drink all night because if done some fairly trivial stuff to help her getting set up over the last few weeks.

I was literally throwing €20 notes over the bar at one stage but she was having none of it.

Obv ended up drinking about 15 Caucasians with cheap vodka she had stashed under the counter especially for me and my mate - some pain in my head now!

Fair play to the auld lady I have to say, never worked behind a bar in her life but always said she'd love to run a cafe or something along those lines, the opportunity came up and she just went for it. Fair balls IMO.

tl;dr: my mom has balls.

In the old days(well not so old last season and before) this is where the Reds faltered big time losing games you couldn't see them losing. They haven't been doing it this year but its a semi-final so anything is possible.

[ghostface]

Is the 2nd semi not on Sky? Can't see it on listings

[eagle eye]
