Soccer is the best game to bet on!!

No, i dont mean value wise. What i mean is that the thrills you get a 10 times better than basketball, 2 times better than football. (dont even friggin bring up base ball) I dont watch hockey but i imagine it would be similarly chaotic and just as crazy fun as football.

I remember betting on turkey vs Switzerland. That goal in the final minute almost made me blow a wad all over my lazy boy..

I am not saying this because i was on a winning side today. I had the czechs beating Turkey... And when the scored the tying goal coming up from a 2-0 deficit, i couldnt believe. I was laughing at myself while saying "I hate this game" A few minutes later turkey scores the winning goal and for some reason i was happy for them, but sad about the loss!.

Todays game was thrilling as hell... And even after germany scored the 2nd goal to take the lead, there was no doubt in my mind that Turkey would come back tie it before the final whistle. And indeed they did!

I am sure i wasnt the only Germany back once again in total disbelief on the unbelievable fortitude of the Turks..

Great game, great contest from Turkey, i hope they keep it together and make world cup 2010 this fun...

exciting game!!!! But I watched it at a sports bar in Taipei and the satellite feed went out a few times. The in studio guys said it was world wide problem. Was it like that? So we missed the 3,4 goals but got to see the winning goal at least!

Yeah I live in Canada watching it on TSN and the signal was out. I agree soccer is exciting. Some people say its boring because the majority of the games are low scoring, but thats what makes it exciting especially when you have money on it. You know a single goal could win or loose it for you because goals are hard to come by.

sorry bro... here we only missed two goals... the one by Kloser and the goal by turkey to tie it..

I still dont understand why the commentators couldnt offer play by play without the picture. Espn could have piped in a radio feed or something..

that was kinda upsetting.

Not sure how you see spain has playin the best soccer.... They beat shitty teams to move on. Russia was without their star player, Greece was just horrible and they were old, and same thing with sweden. Sweden also almost beat spain. Spain also didnt play good against italy. Yes they dominated the ball but they could not get a shot on net. And only really had one chance to score. I think russia will play there game and be the true cinderella team of this tournment not turkey. Russia also has the best coach left in the tournment. Lets go russia and majority is on spain right now cuz many fan dont know soccer and see all the all stars on spain.. I would be suprised by Ot.
