Yep, espacially in the group stages and the first knock out round there should be some quite obvious mismatches, that may bring in some money. Having a lot of sides to place bets may help further.

Shokaku, i'm sure this Florentino Pérez has a great influence at the UEFA. It is clear that Real Madrid is highly favored in the Champions League. It is very clear what the referees are doing. They help the team of Perez. This kind of thing i saw in Romania between 1998 and 2012 many times. During this period no country in Europe had such corrupt referees as they existed in Romania. The same style is also practiced when Real Madrid win with the help of referees. After a match with Villarreal officials of this team said that: the referees left the stadium with money bags. The scandal was quickly forgotten because influence of Perez he gets to the king of Spain. The same influence has at UEFA. Officials of Bayern Munchen are right when they say Real is a Team of Rats. Without influence Real Madrid would not catch the semi finals of C L. even with Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Morbid... it's a thief team.

Posted by Gerimantas: I think i personally wait most for important games like semi final or final and games in group stage is sometimes not very interesting because nit so big teams play and results can be not important in one game
If you are a soccer lover, this is the best competition you can have. more if your country participates in it. with this I mean that all parties are nice to see. clear that to go more a portugal spain than an arabia vs egypt, but it is a world !! It happens every 4 years. It is all special. I will try to lose as few games as possible, and once finished I will watch espn or foxsports. about bets. beware of the first matches of each group, tend to be many draws

Brazil of course in football gods .... I can not say anything here ... but not always at the world championships the Brazilian team is the best .... and it's very good .... remember the world hockey championships in the USSR times .. .. the winner was known and it was not interesting ... and I was rooting for Sweden

There is no excuse anymore. If Iceland can qualify for the Worls Cup, so could all the other smaller countries. Surely not every time, but here and there should be possible, if enough is done for the youth work

Maybe it can be something from different cultures, Germantas. here in South America and in Uruguay especially, football lives differently. it could be said that it is the only sport in which it is invested, because in all the others we are quite bad (although from time to time get classfied to the world championships of other disciplines). for that reason, the times that Uruguay did not go to the soccer world cup just looked at me every match it could. It is an unmissable event. By the way, there are the phrases that each country will use in the omnibus that transports them.
of course the World Cup football stimulated a large construction of stadiums and infrastructure in the country ... and it's wonderful .... the new steep stadiums are necessary for russia ... I read different tips for tourists and I'm funny ... come to Russia and do not be afraid. ... with security I think everything will be fine

godoy if you talk about Russian football they have no big chances to realize something beautiful in this world cup. They do not have a strong team to be able to have a sensational world championship. From my point of view Russia if it reaches the top 8 teams will do something beautiful but is hard. At the semifinals is too hard for them.

In Russia it will not happen the same as in South Africa, that stadiums were built that were not used afterwards, and were expensive to maintain. There in Russia I think that after the World Cup they will have good use. About tips for tourists, in my country are warning about many things, and I think it's exaggerated. I have already been told that it is not so, and although one must be careful, it is quite normal as in many other countries,
yesterday I saw a violation against Salah .... this is of course awful .... Real Madrid just eliminated the most dangerous player of Liverpool ..... for this you need to give a red card ... again the judges are loyal to Real .... I heard that Salah because of this will not play at the World Cup

Is a thread for the World Cup but here we talked about Mohamed Salah, Egypt national team, Sergio Ramos, Spain national team and their club teams who played the champions league final. So we have the right to talk about this because other mobster talk about tickets for mob draw in thread with mob points. Real Madrid won and personally i do not like this. That's why i did not watch the game but Gareth Bale scored two beautiful goals one of them with the goalkeeper's help. I hope Real Madrid will win the next champions league in the year 2103.

I think Real Madrid won well. Liverpool was another without Salah (who really was not doing much), but psychologically it was annihilating. He changed possession of the ball and it was all from Madrid. Even with Salah on the court I think the same thing would happen, but we will never know. On the Ramos foul, it was foul. But I think he did not even deserve a yellow as some say around here, I do not see the bad intention on his part. They are football things, who knows, will understand
today saw the news that Salah speaks about participating in the World Cup .... of course I wish him a recovery but it's not good for the rivals .... that is for the Russian team .... I hope that our players will be able to neutralize Salah .. .. otherwise, everything is very sad ... soon soon
