Italy vs France - Pre-Game/In Game

[Kiss1]

Just for fun I made a play on the over.

uppy:

Over 1.5 at -107 is a gift. 14 of 16 previous WC Finals went over the total and these games are traditionally more open. If someone scores in the first half, this game will go over.

Easy :money8:

just what I was not hoping for but was nervous once that pk went in.

Henry was obviously dazed. He wasn't faking

Call on the penalty kick could have gone either way - like soooo many other calls in every sport.

Beautiful finish by Zidane and beautiful header by Italy. Easy day for over backers

Had Italy future but let most of it ride today on a France to win bet. Decent sized bet for me

agree on the abovementioned...my under was an afterthought, usu. lose those. I am jusst hoping for this to hold up for the 90 and France winning in OT or shootout.

 

[PokerKingJim]

Now that was a fake injury

Watching this game it looks like France will have to get lucky to score where as Italy will there Italy something should bounce there way in the second half.

[oldmanTED]

Funniest thing I've heard in some time. The French coach believes in astrology and won't have either a Scorpio or a Leo on his team.:missingte

 

[charleslanger]

Make some additional money at halftime:

OVER 1 +154
Draw +120

 

[PokerKingJim]

Come on FRANCE!!

I smell a goal by Henry coming

 

[HinesWard86]

Just put some coin down on France to win at +145, Les Bleus!

 

[goodcall]

What a beautiful stadium

 

[PokerKingJim]

Good thing about the World Cup - We didnt have to sit through the likes of Kelly Clarkson at halftime. Quick piss break and let's get back at it

 

[dmmd98]

That was world class there by Herny

 

[HinesWard86]

What moves by Henry, fantastic display

 

[charleslanger]

Just put some coin down on France to win at +145, Les Bleus!

No way- having had a chance at +244 pre-game, and with Italy having an edge in posession.

If i had Les Bleus, now i'd come back on ITA +186 to lock profit.

 

[dmmd98]

That was more of a penalty then the first call.

 

[dj_mercury]

no doubt this was a penalty....
