    Always like a good tip DZ. Yep 61kg in the mud is a great start! Is this the same sauce that said we would thrash Peru?

    Well Wadda, two tips in and we have tasted the sauce. Tastes like mustard. The horse with 61kg tired, no surprise though.

    I did actually see that to qualify option on a machine at the tab DZ. Wasnt sure what it meant.

    That’s probably the best option when it comes to knockout rounds. Just pick the team you think will go through to the next round. Slightly smaller odds of course but a simple way nonetheless.

    Same here Wadda, big moves on Sayed and The Bostonian early this morning like Macca stated. 

    Won’t complain though when it comes through. ?

    Haha, we’ll find out soon enough Wadda. I’m taking the tips in a place multi, some good value. Around $7 for an all-place multi. 

    There is a method of result betting option available on Tab for the soccer. Pick your team to win in extra time, penalties, full time, siesta time, whatever pleases you mate. There was a  “ To Qualify”  option on games but I can’t see it in the markets. That was always a good option to avoid the dreaded draw.

    You'd reckon that sooner or later we'd get the 3 up Wadda ... and today is as good a time as any!

    I got on last night @ 55-1 (boosted)  Just as well too as Sayed has come right in due to the scratchings in that race. 

    I also llike 'I'm a Rippa' as my each-way chance in the Glasshouse Hcp (Sunshine Coast Race 9) ... currently showing $6.50 & $2.30

    Got some tips fellas and I don’t usually receive them often. No comment in the text just races and numbers. I’ll post them anyway just to test out the source.

    Rosehill R5 No.1 La Chica Bella

    I notice the horse will carry 61kg on the Soft. Good start.

    Rosehill R8 No.13 Mapmaker

    Morphetville R3 No.5 Canford

    I reckon that was it after that tournament ... the wash-up was that teams became too defensive rather than more attacking.  The law of unintended consequences kicked in DZ.

    But reducing the players on the pitch might create more goal scoring chances and thus,  any given game can be (in theory) decided by the sport being played out to a finish. 

    But I may as well be howling at the moon as the penalty shoot-out is here to stay - most people are rusted on to the concept. 

    That was it for the rule Macca after the tournament. Greece was ultra defensive throughout that tournament anyway.

    They did toy with the idea of reducing players during extra time. I wouldn’t mind it but the fatigue it would cause was a concern to some. Unfortunately like you, I can’t see penalties vanishing any time soon.

    Like you stated, the NHL altered the rules during overtime in the regular season to avoid the dreaded shoot-out. It’s now 3 on 3 and that works a treat.

    If we get enough having a go we could have a mini comp

    1pt for every round of 16 winner,  2 pts for every QF winner,  3 points for each SF winner & 5 points for predicting the winner of the final.  One batch at a time. 

    What do you reckon DZ?

    I’m more than happy with that system Macca and if others join it should be some good fun.

    Caulfield:

    Race 7 No 3 Usain Bowler TAB  $4.40 .......I heard it on the radio as a certainty.

    Disclaimer: (There is only 1 DK Wier runner in this race)

    Haha, the Weir runner belongs to a couple of blokes from work. Captain Harry Wadda. I prefer yours though. Nice pick!

    Understandable last 10 minutes with Japan passing it around back. But for Poland to barely give chase at 1-0 and not seek to give their fans some exciting moments before they depart (Like Korea did) was just poor attitude and offensive to watch. Glad we've seen the back of Poland. Hope the Netherlands and Italy return in 4 years in their place. As for yellow cards? I reckon that's 'fair', so long as reffing is consistent, more yellows usually means you've illegally stymied opposition attacks with sloppy defence.

    I might be a bit biased with my background but I’d love to see Greece compete on the world stage again. A bit stiff to miss out this year, conceded only 3 or 4 goals throughout qualifying and then a hot Croatia hammers them with 4 in the first playoff match in Croatia. 

    Intriguing Round of 16 ahead. I’ve had a small wager on Mexico to win it. So glad they drew Brazil.:ph34r:

    One does not begrudge Japan their success of they progress but this is a poor group.

    Poland ranked 8 have not fired  a shot... far worse than Germany

    Senegal and Colombia are ranked 27 and 16 respectively with Japan at 61

    If no goals are scored the two lowest ranked teams will progress to the next round with the to team being decided on the number of yellow cards.

    And of course 2 minutes after I post the above Poland scores?

    Haha, both games now 1-0. The instructions to the Japanese would be simple right now. No more yellow cards. I had no idea that “Fair Play” was a tiebreaker.

    Wow, VAR again.

    Penalty awarded to Senegal then overturned and I’m not sure why. Commentator mentioned an arm being flung back at Sanchez as to the possible reason but to me Sanchez had already started sliding and made contact with the knee prior to the Senegalese arm making contact and hardly any contact at that.

    Best Bet.

    Sunshine Coast:

    Race 7 Number 2 The Bostonian $3.40

    Terrific win last week when leading all the way. On a day when they were reeling the leaders in quickly I thought the win was quite impressive. Has won at Caloundra previously and the trainer  believes the backup won’t be an issue. 

    Also, a couple of work colleagues have a small share in a horse called Captain Harry. 

    He’s going around in Race 7 at Caulfield. The fellas are excited as it’s the horse’s first city grade run. It had a midweek run at Sandown a few starts back but nothing beats a Saturday in town. It’s racing well of late in the lower grades and you never know. It’s around the $10 mark. By no means is this a tip, only an added interest. The good thing about this horse is the fact it’s still a colt. Hopefully they can get lucky and win a couple of decent races.

    I think he's worth a look at, particularly the way Garlett has been of late...

     

    Do they have another small forward that’s struggling to get a game as well? Stengle I believe....do you know much about him?

    The Cup that keeps on giving. Unbelievable drama to finish off Group B. You can’t script this stuff. Missed penalties, VAR intervention, cracking goals. 

    Iran almost sent Portugal packing, a one on one at the death and fluffs the shot wide. Iran would have topped the group. Agony!!

    Wow. Germany with the late free kick goal. Poor Sweden. Another great game. Gee this world cup is really kicking the AFL's arse for spectacle.  Every one of them entertaining in the least and gripping, intense and nail biting at best. Loving the fluidity of ball movement.

    Unbelievable. Heartbreaking for the Swedish fans. This is turning out to be one hell of a tournament with so much more still to play out.

    Mexico is my “Smokey”, never underestimate the Central Americans. ‘Chicharito’ with his 50th international goal for the Mexicans.

    And Merchant Navy wins it for Australia!~ ... and I got the trifecta!  Win/win.  You little beauty!

    Redkirk was a little disappointing but we got the win.  The favourite 'Harry Angel' played up in the stalls something chronic,  missed the start but was a beaten horse before they jumped. 

    But the story is about Merchant Navy the new wonder horse.  Fought hard to the line with enormous spirit to overcome the French dasher 'City Light'.  Aiden O'Brien (the horse-whisperer) does it again. 

    Here's the replay of the Diamond Jubilee Stakes ...

     

     

     

    Well done Macca.

    Phew, that was a tight finish. The caller thought ‘ City Light’ nosed out ‘Merchant Navy’.

    Thanks for posting the replay. Nice trifecta divvy on the Vic tote.
