Italy vs Slovakia
World Cup, 16h00
It's only fair to say that Italy were put into an easy group after the World Cup draw. The reigning champions though managed to put on 2 woeful displays which saw them fortunately draw against Paraguay and being unable to beat lowly New Zealand. Now it's make or brake time for the Italians. They are up against a decent Slovakian side and only a win guarantees them qualification. I have confidence in Marcelo Lippi's professionalism, even though he insist in playing a player like Cannavaro which is not longer at his best level. The likes of De Rossi and Marchisio should pull the strings in midfield and maybe Pazzini could help them in attack after he was omitted for the first 2 games.
Slovakia did very well in qualification but never managed to adjust to life at the World Cup. They seem out of their comfort zone and never really got going.
I tip Italy to win, at 4/7.

Paraguay vs New Zealand
World Cup, 16h00
I saw New Zealand draw against Italy. They were courageous but Italy is just a mediocre team these days. That is a fact that most people will agree upon. Other than that the Kiwis will find it tough today.
Paraguay are a good side in my opinion. They are balanced all around and look dangerous in attack. After a draw against Italy, the South Americans defeated Slovakia 2-0 and did it in style also.
I tip Paraguay to win it, at 4/9.

Germany 1:0 Ghana

England 1:0 Slovenia

Australia 2:1 Serbia

2010-06-23T14:27:00.000+02:00

Ghana vs Germany
World Cup, 20h30
Germany find themselves in a very delicate position. They need to win in order to qualify. They have never failed to progress from the group stages of the World Cup. Also, after the first game, 4-0 against Australia, they were tipped as potential winners of the competition. The match against Serbia showed us another German team which saw Podolski play for himself, also missing from the penalty spot and Klose being on the receiving end of a red card which rules him out of this decisive game.
Ghana were superb against Serbia, but faltered against Australia. They are called the Black Stars as well as Africa's Brazilians. Even though they have lots of chances, they scored both goals from the penalty spot. They only need a draw tonight and if they were to qualify they should be the only African team left in the competition.
I tip Ghana not to lose, at 11/10.

2010-06-23T14:21:00.000+02:00

Serbia vs Australia
World Cup, 20h30
I saw the Serbians against Germany. They were very solid and eventually won by 1-0. They need a win in order to progress, even though a draw could also get them through.
Also, Australia produced a good display against Ghana after they were mauled 4-0 by the Germans. I cannot predict which side will show up today.
I tip Serbia will win, at 9/11.

2010-06-23T14:06:00.001+02:00

England vs Slovenia
World Cup, 16h00
This is make or break time for England. This is a team I expect to win the tournament. But they were poor in the first 2 games, drawing against USA and Algeria. Slovenia is a decent team, they look well organised. But in the match against the USA they showed us both their facets: a pragmatic first half which saw them 2-0 up and a very poor second half in which they were left happy to escape from losing the game.
England must turn on the big engines and run through Slovenia. This is simply what should happen. Expect for the likes of Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney to provide the determination and passion they are renowned for.
I tip England to win, at 5/11.

Mexico 0:1 Uruguay

2010-06-22T13:37:00.000+02:00

Mexico vs Uruguay
These two teams have played well in the first two games, both winning a game and drawing the other. Uruguay have one goal advantage on the Mexicans, still I do believe these two will qualify together, after drawing this one. It is common sense that the players will go for safety today. A draw will all but guarantee that both nations will progress to the knock-out stages of the competition.
Mexico have been great against France beating them 2-0, while Uruguay thumped hosts South Africa 3-0 in the second round of games of this group. The second-placed team will most probably play Argentina in the next round.
I predict a draw in this game, with values as high as 4/5.

Brazil 3:1 Ivory Coast

2010-06-20T19:30:00.000+02:00

Brazil vs Ivory Coast
World Cup, 20h30
Didier Drogba was the hottest subject prior to the game. The Ivorian captain has a broken arm and the Brazilian wanted Fifa not to allow him play. But football's governing body had a different opinion, which I think is only fair.
I saw Brazil beat North Korea 2-1. They were pretty average to me. Ivory Coast themselves did not catch the eye of the football passionate, but had a decent game in the 0-0 draw against Portugal, having control for most of the time and being the side that wanted the win more.This is probably the toughest group in this competition, so do expect a grinding performance by both sides tonight.
I tip Ivory Coast not to lose tonight, at evens.

2010-06-20T19:25:00.002+02:00

Ghana 1:1 Australia

2010-06-19T15:11:00.000+02:00

Ghana vs Australia
World Cup, 16h00
This is a wide open group, the one that includes these two nations. Serbia, Germany and Ghana have all won a game. But the Africans have done that in a game, while the other two have already suffered a defeat.
Australia have no points; they were thumped by the Germans 4-0 in the opening game of the group. They were so poor. You also have to consider Tim Cahill, arguably their best player, is suspended for this match.
I've seen Ghana against Serbia. They had glimpses of brilliance and were always attacked minded. They managed to win that game 1-0, but fully deserved the result.
I tip Ghana to win today, at 11/10.

2010-06-16T15:27:00.002+02:00

Honduras 0:1 Chile

2010-06-16T13:19:00.000+02:00

Honduras vs Chile
World Cup, 13h30
These two play in the same group as Spain, and they will seek to win second place in order to qualify. But first, they both need a win today.
I've seen play Honduras play Romania and lose 3-0. They were simply not good enough. Meanwhile Chile have come through the tough South American qualifying section which is so tough. They also have good pedigree at World Cups and a good Argentine coach.
I tip Chile to win, at 2/3.

Sevilla 2:0 Atletico

2010-05-19T17:07:00.000+02:00

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid
Spanish Copa del Rey, 21h30
Both teams are very offensive minded. And their mind is set to "hurt" the opponent as much as possible, that is why they do score often. Atletico recently won the Europa League, while Sevilla clinched the 4th spot in the Primera Division in the last seconds of the last game. Both by scoring.
Sevilla got to the final by defeating Barcelona, and doing it at the Camp Nou, tonight's venue.
Atletico will put Aguero and Forlan up front, while Sevilla will respond with Negredo and Kanoute flanked by Jesus Navas, Perrotti or Capel.
I tip both teams to score, at 7/10.

2010-05-11T07:55:00.002+02:00

Vaslui 2:1 Steaua

2010-05-10T17:21:00.001+02:00

Sevilla 2:3 Barcelona

2010-05-10T17:20:00.000+02:00

Vaslui vs Steaua
Romanian Liga I, 19h00
Steaua and Vaslui are chasing for a spot in Europe next season, maybe even in the UCL with a bit of luck. The hosts are 4th while the guests stand on 5th.
It will be a tight affair tonight, but Vaslui have better quality in their squad and I think Lacatus' side will win it.
Wesley and Costly are out for the hosts.
I tip Vaslui to win it, at 13/10.

2010-05-08T20:45:00.000+02:00

Sevilla vs Barcelona
Spanish Primera Division, 21h00
Sevilla is battling for the last UCL qualifying spot, while Barcelona tries to stay first. The Catalans have one point in front of Realmadrid and travel to a place which is not the best for them. Barcelona have lost the Champions Cup Final there in 14 years ago.
In the last 10 meetings between these two, Sevilla won 2, Barca 5 with 3 matches ending in a draw.
Luis Fabiano is fit to play tonight and Navas will supply him and Kanoute with great crosses. For the guests Ibra is missing from the first eleven, as he is replaced by Bojan, with Messi and Pedro summing up the front line.
I tip Sevilla to resist tonight, with values as high as 6/5 up for grabs.

2010-05-07T15:40:00.000+02:00

Manchester City 0:1 Tottenham

2010-05-05T17:46:00.000+02:00

Manchester City vs Tottenham
English Premier League, 21h00
It is the showdown for the last place that puts you in the UCL. That means huge cash. Tottenham have a one point advantage over their opponents and could do with a point.
Still, Spurs have beaten City in 11 of their last 12 match-ups. City lost only 6 times this season with 2 games to play, their record being 7. Tottenham has scored in their last 10 games, winning 8 of them.
Fulop will deputise again in goal for City, while Gomes undergoes a physical test prior to the game. It will be Tevez and Adebayor up against Defoe and Pavlyuchenko, in a game that could change the face of English football, if won by the hosts.
I tip both teams to score, at 3/5.
