They are still your favorite, they were your pre 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 4: tournament favorite. They're still there at the top of the 35 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: board plus one seventy five, a clear favorite. France second 36 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: on the board at plus four hundred. England, Argentina, Portugal 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: are all six to one, the Netherlands fourteen to one, 38 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 4: Morocco twenty eight to one, and Croatia thirty three to one. 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 4: And with that out of the way, let's talk about 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: these matches. We'll start with our favorite bets for the 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: upcoming quarterfinals. They're taking place on Friday and Saturday. 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: BJ start us off, well, it should be no surprise. 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 5: On my favorite bet is it's England to advance at 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 5: plus one twenty. I think it's crazy that they're an 45 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 5: underdog to France. Yes, France has Killian and Bappe and 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 5: he's been the best player in this entire term. 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: He's going to win Golden Boot. 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 5: But I think you could say that England has more 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 5: talent throughout their starting eleven. They definitely have a better striker, 50 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 5: they definitely have better midfielders, they definitely have better defenders, 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 5: and they. 52 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: Have a better goalkeeper. So what's the reason why France 53 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: is a favorite. 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 5: It's Killing and Bope, who they've been incredibly reliant on, 55 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 5: and what they've done a great job against some of 56 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 5: the Let's be honest, they haven't played that great of 57 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 5: a schedule coming up outside of the match against Denmark. 58 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 5: They've done a great job of creating overloads on the 59 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 5: left side of the pitch and it's freed up in Bape. 60 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 5: He's been able to get behind defenders, create a lot 61 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 5: of chances, get the ball in the middle of the 62 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 5: box and then also finish off some chances himself. But 63 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 5: he's now going up against one of the best defensive 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 5: right backs in the world in Kyle Walker, somebody who 65 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 5: can match his type of pace and. 66 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: Cover ground with the best of them. In England. 67 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 5: What they did such a good job of against Senegal 68 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 5: is they pressed high and it just show their versatility 69 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 5: in their tactics. They're not just this slow, pragmatic handbreak 70 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 5: style team. 71 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: No. 72 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: They had a pass per defensive action of six point seven, 73 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 5: they forced seven high turnovers and really the difference is 74 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 5: they brought on Jordan Henderson because Jude Bellingham has been 75 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 5: so good in terms of ball progression and getting the 76 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 5: ball up to the front three that they don't need 77 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: to put Mason Mount on the pitch. They can put 78 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 5: Jude Bellingham and then another defensive type midfielder like Jordan Henderson, 79 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 5: who is a good pressing midfielder, although he is in 80 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 5: his thirties and it caused a lot of problems for Senegal. 81 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 5: The same can be said for this type of match 82 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 5: where France, listen, we haven't seen them play a type 83 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 5: of team that's going to possess the ball. We saw 84 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 5: it obviously in the Euros when they played both Germany 85 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 5: and Portugal. They sat very very deep, they didn't press 86 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 5: at all, and then they just sent Mbappe and bends 87 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 5: him out on the counter. And I think they're going 88 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 5: to do something similar here. But if you go through 89 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 5: France's results since the twenty eighteen World Cup in real competitions, 90 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 5: where's the impressive result outside of the match against Denmark, 91 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: Because they got beat on expected goals both against Portugal 92 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 5: and against Germany at the Euros got knocked out of 93 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 5: the round of sixteen by Switzerland, so really we're just saying, Okay, 94 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 5: France has played one good match against a good team, 95 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: and now suddenly they're the second best team in the world. 96 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 97 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 5: If the England can neutralize and bope, they're going to 98 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: win this match, and if they can press effectively keep 99 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 5: France in their own final third, I think England's going through. 100 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 5: So I love England too advance at plus one twenty, 101 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 5: I do. 102 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: Project them as a pretty good favorite to get through here. 103 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: Okay, we'll talk more about that match and all the 104 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: matches in a little bit. My favorite bet, though, I 105 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 4: like Netherlands on the three way money line. They're plus 106 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 4: two to fifty five against Argentina. There's more bet against 107 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: Argentina than one on the Dutch, who I do think 108 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 4: are a little undervalued across all markets. Like if there 109 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: was one team I would back to win the World 110 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: Cup right now, if all your tickets are dead like 111 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: the three of US, I would pick the Netherlands because, yeah, 112 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: their path is hard, but the other way you could 113 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: look at it is the path is what is causing 114 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 4: their number to stay where it basically was or higher 115 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 4: at some sports books than it was before the tournament started. 116 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: So I think the Dutch are a good bye opportunity 117 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: in the futures market, and I think they're a good 118 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: by opportunity against Argentina, who they have not really gotten 119 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: going yet. 120 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: Like they needed to. 121 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: Work really hard to beat Australia. They were kind of 122 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 4: cruise control there. They were up to two nil and 123 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: all of a sudden Australia gets one back and they 124 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: almost score again to send that game to extra time. 125 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 4: This Argentina team has shown they can't really get separation 126 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 4: against anybody. The Mexico game, nonwithstanding, that was more of, 127 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: you know, two brilliant plays, one by Messi and one 128 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 4: from Enzo Fernandez, Like what have they done? What have 129 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: they done to prove that they're worth this kind of 130 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 4: number against a really good Dutch side. Who Yeah, they 131 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 4: were uneven in the group stage, but then they were 132 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: brilliant against the Americans. We were all kind of wrong 133 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 4: about that one. Not kind of wrong, we were very wrong. 134 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 4: Louis van Hall's system worked flawlessly. They were able to 135 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: sit back counter quickly. Memphis and Denzel doom Freeze look great. 136 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 4: This is a really dangerous team and one that should 137 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 4: punch up well because they have a good center back pairing, 138 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 4: They've got a great central midfielder and Frankie Deyong, and 139 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 4: they have clinical finishers. So they might not create you know, 140 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: Argentina might out create them two to one here, but 141 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 4: the chances that the Netherlands create they should be able 142 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: to find the back of the net with. So I 143 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 4: think that this Dutch team is really dangerous here. And 144 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are kind of betting 145 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: into the narrative that you know, I don't want to 146 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: say goodbye to Lionel Messi at the World Cup, so 147 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: that should keep the number pretty suppressed here. And I 148 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 4: like going against that narrative wearing the black cat with 149 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 4: the Dutch Anthony, what about you your favorite bet? 150 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to go back to England and France. 151 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: Mentioned the BJ Cunningham about you know, the Waterloo battle there. 152 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: It's a huge rivalry, of course, but I like both 153 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: teams to score, yes minus one fifteen. I think that 154 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: the fact that this match is so competitive actually helps 155 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: the both teams to score. 156 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 5: Here. 157 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: You would say, oh, it's going to be playing as 158 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: a stalemate. Both teams generally have managers who look to 159 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: be pretty conservative, but I agree with BJ that both 160 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: teams have taken a little bit more of an aggressive 161 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: tone in this tournament. Yes, France still doesn't press. They still, 162 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: you know, wait for you to turn them all over 163 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: and then look to hit and transition. That's how they live. 164 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: But they have sent more numbers forward at this tournament. 165 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: Tao Hernandez overlapping on the left with Himbape, Audrey and 166 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: Robbio getting into the penalty area more Antoine Greasman in 167 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: the Form of his Life, Bja mentioned in England's defense against 168 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: Senegal and how they pressed high and they were successful 169 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: if they try that again. Senego doesn't really have the creator, 170 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: the playmaking midfielder or the player that can beat you 171 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: over the top or the outlet that Embape is that 172 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: Saudio Almane would have been that guy, but he wasn't 173 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 3: there and Senegel was still able to find some success 174 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: in those in those moments early in that match easily 175 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: could have gone up a goal. I thought they should 176 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: have had a penalty. I think England runs a risk 177 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: of over committing a bit here and potentially conceding to 178 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: Embappe too, Griaisman because of it, and I do think 179 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: France will find some success only because there's very few 180 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: teams in the world that can stop transition from France. 181 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: I mean it's not like, yes, like you know and 182 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: Boppe's coming. Yes, Kyle Walker is very good, but it's 183 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: still the best player in the world in kidding in Bappe, 184 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: and I do think it'll be difficult for England to 185 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: stop them. With that being said, France not applying any 186 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: ball pressure at all was a big red flag against Poland. 187 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: I thought Poland did a really good job of getting 188 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: the ball into wide areas, getting in crosses fair comfortably 189 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: and putting a lot of pressure on this French defense. 190 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: Easily should have scored as well created over one non 191 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: penalty expected goal in that match. Even if you take 192 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: out the penalty, there were chances to score for the 193 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: for the polls, and that's a much worse attacking side. 194 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: I mean, an attacking team that did not look like 195 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: they could create against anybody. And so you know, France's 196 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: defense is still vulnerable. I think in their defensive midfield 197 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: like Chuameny's excellent, but I still think there are question 198 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: marks about this defense that England can get at with 199 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: Bellingham getting forward more and Kane being one of the greatest, 200 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: you know, dropping deep especially. I think Harry Kane kind 201 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: of finding those pockets of space because nobody's pressing the 202 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: ball heavily coming short playing players in I think Kine 203 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: is the biggest cog for this British for this English 204 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: attack in this game. So I like both teams to score. 205 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit cheap given how competitive 206 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: this match is lined because people are expecting, you know, 207 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: like a one to zero parked the bus play defensive 208 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: type approach. I don't think that's necessarily the case. Playing 209 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 3: against that narrative, I like both teams to score. 210 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 4: Okay, and now let's move on to the match. Previews 211 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: themselves will start ten Eastern time Friday morning. Croatia. But first, 212 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 4: we got a poor one out for our friends in 213 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: Japan at the hands of Croatia that was tough to swallow. Man. 214 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. 215 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 4: With that over, Croatia's eight to one against Brazil minus 216 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 4: two seventy five the draws plus three seventy five the 217 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: two advanced line Croatias plus four hundred Brazil minus six hundred. 218 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: Of course, these odds are provided from our friends at 219 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: BAT three six to five BJ. This one looks pretty straightforward, 220 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 4: and I think, at the risk of getting caught up 221 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 4: in the is Croatia tired yet narrative, I think Croatia's 222 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: got to be tired. 223 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like to use feelings when we're talking 224 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 5: about this type of analysis. 225 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of a wrong way to approach it. 226 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: But with that being said, this does feel kind of 227 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: like the end of the road for Croatia, right Like. 228 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 5: They have played basically the same starting eleven throughout this 229 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 5: entire tournament. Their midfield has to be so incredibly gassed 230 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 5: playing an up and down time match with Japan. And listen, 231 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 5: we've have two matches here again for Croatia where they've 232 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 5: played a team similar to what Brazil is going to 233 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 5: do in terms of ball possession and progressing it up 234 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 5: the pitch. It's against both Spain and England at the Euros, 235 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 5: Like England held them to basically nothing and then they 236 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 5: played a chaotic four to three match against Spain. But 237 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 5: I think has more to do with Spain's ability out 238 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 5: of possession than it does with the fact that they're 239 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: possed the ball. But with that being said, I mean 240 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 5: Brazil I would say has been the most impressive team 241 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 5: in the tournament right nine and a half expected goals 242 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 5: four one and a half against. And the thing is, 243 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: who are the two teams that have scored against Brazil 244 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 5: at South Korea and it's Cameroon, both quick strike, counter 245 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 5: attacking type teams. Croatia is not that they're very slow 246 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 5: progression intri kate try to get the ball forward at 247 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 5: wide areas middle of the pitch, similar to what Switzerland 248 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 5: and Serbia tried to do, and Switzerland and Serbia had 249 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 5: the same exact problems against Brazil. So this is a 250 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 5: Brazilian defense that has not allowed a team to create 251 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 5: over one expected goal since October eleventh of twenty twenty 252 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 5: one against Columbia and Croati Let's be honest. 253 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: Outside of the match against. 254 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 5: Canada, they haven't been finishing while they have one goal 255 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 5: off of two point two expected. We knew that coming 256 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 5: into the tournament and it seems to have been true 257 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 5: so far. So I'm going to go both to score. No, 258 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 5: it's currently a minus one forty. I think this is 259 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 5: probably a brazil route and I really just don't. I 260 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 5: don't know how Croatia is going to create more than 261 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 5: half an expected goal because nobody's been able to do 262 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 5: it yet in this tournament against Brazil. 263 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to play into the route a little 264 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 4: bit as well. I'm a little disappointed that Brazil decided 265 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 4: to run riot over South Korea because it probably made 266 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: this number a little worse than it would have been 267 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: if they had just made it a little less exciting 268 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: in their victory. I like to over two and a 269 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 4: half team total for Brazil. It's like plus one seventy 270 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: five plus one eighty, depending and where you're looking. And 271 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 4: the reason I like it is because at some point 272 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: you expect Brazil to get on the board at Croatia 273 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: will have to open up a little bit and go 274 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: for it, and they just don't play well. In transition, 275 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 4: Japan had chances, Belgium ripped them apart. I think it's 276 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: two point eight close to three expected goals allowed in 277 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: their last two matches. They've only given up one goal. 278 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: I mean, if Ramulucaku has his finishing boots on this, 279 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: we're not even talking about this team being in the 280 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 4: knockout stage. So this defense has looked very leaky, very vulnerable. 281 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 4: They're just not going to be able to keep up 282 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 4: with the speed. I think Venetius Junior once again is 283 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: another good look for in any time goal scorer. I 284 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: know Anthony and I hit on that in our last match, 285 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: but he should have a ton of success. Ra Charleston 286 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: should have a lot of success. Like, there's just way 287 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 4: too much going forward for Brazil for Croatia to keep 288 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: them quiet, So I'll look at the team total here. 289 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 4: I also think like a live team total could be 290 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 4: worth it if Croatia like gets through the first twenty 291 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: minutes or so without conceding. So I like Brazil just 292 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: to fill the net here. Anthony, what about you? 293 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I somewhat agree. I think Croatia has some problems 294 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: defending Brazil's wingers in the wide areas. I think that's 295 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: going to be a major issue for them. Their fullbacks 296 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 3: have not really been tested by dynamic attacking wingers to 297 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 3: this point in the tournament. Everything's kind of been down 298 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: the middle. And you look at like a team like 299 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: Belgium that did create a lot of chances against them, 300 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: almost all of that came from Belgium's you know, middle 301 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 3: of the park players not exactly like wide players beating 302 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 3: guys one on one, getting to the byline, cutting it back. 303 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 3: And the one chance we did see was when Croatia 304 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 3: got opened up and then Lukak we missed the sitter. 305 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: So I think that there's vulnerability in the Croatian fullbacks here. 306 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: I think that's gonna be a major problem. I think 307 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: Croatia can find some success in transition though, Like anytime 308 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: we've seen Croatia look at its best going forward, it's 309 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 3: been in those transitionary moments after winning the ball, modrich 310 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: or Broseovich plays that one ball that kind of you know, 311 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 3: gives space to Parisits or potentially Levya in transition, like 312 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: they have an ability to get at this Brazilian defense. 313 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 3: Like Bja mentioned how dominant Brazil's defense has been, and 314 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 3: it is true, but I think you saw a little 315 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: bit of crack it kind of the after Korea did 316 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: start to send numbers forward. If it was two nil, 317 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: Korea created three or four decent good scoring opportunities that 318 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: required Allison to kind of be heroic. So I think 319 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: if there's an early goal in this match, I love 320 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: the over. I'm going to take the over three at 321 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: plus money instead of the over two and a half 322 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: a minus won twenty five to one thirty because I 323 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: do see a world where Brazil is able to run 324 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: it up here and get to you know, three to 325 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: one or for to one as opposed to if this 326 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 3: game does stay, you know, sitting zero zero for a while, 327 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: maybe Croatia can hold out longer than we thought. You 328 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: don't get as you know, game state is so important 329 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: in these situations. But like BJ said, Brazil's attack has 330 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 3: been dominant. My biggest question mark was coming into the 331 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: tournament for Brazil, did they have like a true number 332 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: nine finisher, because I was, you know, we have We've 333 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 3: seen up and down play from R. Charleston, but seeing 334 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: the ra Charleston we've seen in this tournament, it's hard 335 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: to bet against Brazil at this point. 336 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: The two pm kickoff on Friday is Netherlands clockwork Orange 337 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 4: there plus two sixty on the three way line, Argentina 338 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 4: plus one twenty favorites to draw US plus two ten 339 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: to advance the Netherlands plus one thirty Argentina minus one sixty. 340 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: BJ. 341 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: We'll go right back to you here. How are you 342 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 4: attacking this match? From a betting perspective. 343 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the Dutch to advance. 344 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 5: I agree with you, Michael that what the Dutch did 345 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 5: so good against the Americans is, like you mentioned in 346 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 5: the quick strike, counter attacking. But they also attacked the flanks. 347 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 5: And that's something that Evan Hollis said after the match. 348 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 5: He said, well, coming into the match, we knew they 349 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 5: were week just on their flanks. We weren't going to 350 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 5: try to go through the middle of the pitch because 351 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 5: that's where obviously States was at their strongest, and they 352 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: just never in the United States has never adjusted to it. 353 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 5: All three goals came off acrosses and they can do 354 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 5: the exact same thing here to Argentina, who was really 355 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 5: really not impressive at all against Australia. 356 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. 357 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 5: They scored two goals off a very low, low quality 358 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 5: attempts and if you look at the rolling XG chart 359 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 5: of that match, you'll see, you know, the final says, okay, 360 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 5: Argentina one point six to Australia point six, so two 361 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 5: to one probably a deserving result. Well, Argentina only had 362 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 5: created point four expected goals up until the eighty fifth minute, 363 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 5: and then the match opened up and they actually had 364 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: some high quality chances there towards the end, so they 365 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 5: basically did nothing for the full eighty five minutes. And 366 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 5: that's something similar like you mentioned, Michael, that happened against Mexico. 367 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: Now they have to face a Dutch team that did really, 368 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 5: really good out of possession against the Americans. They were 369 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 5: perfectly fine not pressing, closing off the middle of the pitch, 370 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 5: which Argentina again. It happened again Lionel Messi has to 371 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 5: come receive the ball way too far away from the 372 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 5: goal because nobody in the middle of the pitch is 373 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 5: coming to receive it, so you have to play the 374 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 5: ball out wide. And then it's like, okay, we have 375 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 5: to beat them with crosses. The nether one is a 376 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 5: perfect opportunity here for them to counter attack them. They 377 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 5: have a great midfield, something Argentina hasn't seen so far 378 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 5: in this World Cup. So I really like the Dutch 379 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 5: to advance here. I think the price is way too 380 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 5: high here on Argentina, so I like the Dutch to 381 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 5: advance at plus one thirty. 382 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I already gave my thoughts on this game at 383 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: the top, so I'll make it real quick. But one 384 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 4: other thing that's want to add is Louis van all Like, 385 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 4: he's a really good manager. He will set this team up. Yeah, 386 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: not in the same way he will. They're very adaptable team, 387 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 4: they're very versatile, and he will set them up, you know, 388 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 4: based on their opponent. So I think that you'll see them, 389 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: you know, like you said, BJ attack the vulnerabilities of 390 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: Argentina rather than just stick to a plan A here. 391 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: So the Dutch, we're impressive against the United States. 392 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: Like I said, I. 393 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: Think worth a bet on the three way line to 394 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: advance or a sprinkle to win the whole thing, depending 395 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 4: on how you want to play this thing. Anthony three 396 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 4: for three on Clockwork Orange. 397 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually liked what I saw with the Dutch 398 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: out of possession against the United States. You know, they 399 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: did concede a couple of chances, the early chance to 400 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 3: pool a sick the Rien situation, But I thought overall 401 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 3: they did a very good job of forcing the US 402 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 3: to try to go out why and then cross it 403 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 3: in And it's going to be very hard to beat 404 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 3: the Dutch in the air on these crosses with their 405 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 3: back line being as good as it is in the air, 406 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: with Van Dyke and Timber especially, and I think the 407 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: fullbacks are the biggest key in the wing backs. You know, 408 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: I wrote my preview when we talked about the United 409 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 3: States against the Dutch that well, you know, the Dutch 410 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 3: and theory have a huge advantage in the midfield, but 411 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: with doom Fries playing, have a huge advantage on the 412 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 3: wide areas. With doom Fries playing as bad as he was, 413 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: that would potentially not be an issue. Doom Fries came 414 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 3: into this World Cup with an injury and kind of 415 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 3: played through it. It seems like he played really poorly the 416 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 3: first two matches against Senegal and against Ecuador, but the 417 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: last two now he's turned in, you know, excellent performances. 418 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: You can kind of shrug off the one against Katar 419 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: because it's Quitar, but when he played against the United 420 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 3: States to assists getting forward a ton, getting his feet 421 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: in the penalty area, being the outlet that he needed 422 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: to be, and then of course Blind's passing ability leads 423 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: the third goal his cross across the box two doom Freeze. 424 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: I don't think doom Frees and Blynn will get that 425 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 3: kind of space in this match. Argentina is better defensively, 426 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: they're better at stopping transitions in the United States, but 427 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: I think it's still an area where the Dutch can 428 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: attack and Memphis being healthy and fit. I mean Memphis 429 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: was not fit for the first two matches either. He 430 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 3: came off the bench, and the Dutch attack did look 431 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 3: better against Senegal in the last half hour once Memphis 432 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 3: was on the pitch, then it did the first hour 433 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 3: when he wasn't. So I think Memphis being fit and 434 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 3: able to start makes a huge difference for this Dutch 435 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: team too. I think is another good both teams to score. Look, 436 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 3: I'm taking the Dutch plus a half minus one thirty five. 437 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 3: I'm also going to probably sprinkle some both teams to score, 438 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: maybe an over as well. I do think there will 439 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: be goals in this match. It's a rematch at the 440 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: twenty fourteen semi final, which is one of the worst, 441 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 3: most boring soccer matches I've ever seen. Both these teams 442 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 3: will come a long way in eight years, and it 443 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: actually favors some goals in this one. The Argentinian defense 444 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 3: has been excellent in this tournament, but they haven't really 445 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: been tested. I Meanne, have they played, you know, Australia. 446 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 3: One of the worst attacks Mexico. We saw how bad 447 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 3: they were this tournament. Going forward. Poland offered almost nothing 448 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: in the group stage, and you know there are I 449 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: still wonder about the Argentinian defense and given how aggressive 450 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: they are, does that create space for Blend to get 451 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 3: a pass and behind once or twice to create a chance. 452 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 4: You've come a long way in eight years as well, Anthony, 453 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: here to hear to your first World Cup ever. Saturday 454 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: ten am kickoff. Morocco and Portugal. Morocco the story of 455 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 4: the tournament so far plus four to fifty Portugal minus 456 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: one forty three on the three way line, the Druss 457 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 4: plus two to fifty to advance, the Atlas Lions of 458 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 4: Morocco plus two forty Portugal minus three hundred. There's a 459 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 4: lot to unpack here because I think you look at 460 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 4: these four matches and there's one where there's a stylistic 461 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 4: styles make fights kind of matchup, and it's this one. Right, 462 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 4: Like we've seen Morocco play out the script already a 463 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 4: couple times of this tournament. They do it very well. 464 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 4: They're going to seed possession to Portugal. They're going to 465 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: sit back and they're gonna wait, and they're just gonna 466 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 4: make life hell on the Portuguese attack. They're gonna let 467 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 4: Amerbat put as many people as he wants in his 468 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 4: pocket and see if they can, you know, magic up 469 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: a goal or get the game to extra time and 470 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: a shootout and bet on themselves there, PJ. Does it 471 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 4: work again? 472 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: It could. 473 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 5: I'm definitely not going to be betting on Portugal, but 474 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 5: I do like over two and a half goals a 475 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 5: plus one twenty. Listen all credit to Morocco. That was 476 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 5: an incredible defensive performance against Spain. They Spain controlled seventy 477 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 5: seven percent possession, completed seven hundred passes, and they held 478 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 5: them in just one shot on target and point nine 479 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 5: expectacles over one hundred and twenty minutes. That is incredibly 480 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 5: difficult to do. And what's what they did such a 481 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 5: good job of is closing off those easy passes in 482 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 5: between both the defensive and midfield lines. 483 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: Against Costa Rica. 484 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 5: Spain completed one hundred and sixty six passes between the 485 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 5: lines in ninety minutes. They only did it one hundred 486 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 5: and twenty times in one hundred and twenty minutes against Morocco. 487 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 5: Now here's another thing where I like to play this 488 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 5: type of over because of game state. Okay, Portugal's finishing 489 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 5: it at yes, an unsustainable rate, but a crazy rate 490 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 5: right now. And we had not seen Morocco play from behind. 491 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 5: So if that first goal goes in and they can't 492 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 5: just sit back defensively and the pitch opens up for 493 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 5: Portugal's attackers, It's happened in every single Portugal match so far, 494 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 5: the match just becomes crazy and there are just chances galore. 495 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 5: Every match has gone over except for the Uruguay match. 496 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 5: But remember Iguai hit the post three times in that 497 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 5: match after Portugal scored first. So if Portugal scores early, 498 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 5: I'm interested to see what Morocco is going to do. 499 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: Now. 500 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 5: Portugal's defense has not been that great. I mean they've 501 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 5: conceded over five expected goals so far, and tactically again, 502 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 5: you know, we've said it from the beginning, it looks 503 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 5: like they don't know what they're doing. But they have 504 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 5: great attacking players like they have, They're incredibly talented. They're 505 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 5: probably a top five team in terms of talent in 506 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 5: this World Cup. So if they score first and the 507 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 5: match opens up, that's really really concerning for Morocco, who 508 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 5: you know, they've only conceded one goal off of three 509 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 5: point three expected, so they are tad overdue to concede, 510 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 5: but you know they could put another crazy good defensive performance. 511 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 5: But like Croatia, they basically played the same starting eleven 512 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 5: for all four matches. They just played one hundred and 513 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 5: twenty minutes against Spain with out the ball moving, having 514 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 5: to move so much, so that concerns me. So I'm 515 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 5: taking over two and a half goals of plus one twenty. 516 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: I do project about two point six goals for this match, 517 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 5: so I think there is some value on the over. 518 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 4: I just can't get past the fact that this line 519 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 4: looks very similar to what we saw against Spain and 520 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 4: right the three way line, which yeah, it's a little cheaper, 521 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: but like it's not that much. I think Portugal coming 522 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 4: into the tournament, Portugal's odds were sixteen ish and Spain 523 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 4: was around eight eight to one, so the market already 524 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 4: told us who the better team was, and that tells 525 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 4: you there's a little bit of a difference there. 526 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: Was it right? Was it wrong? 527 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: I would still think most of us would say Spain 528 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: is a better team between these two Portugal and Spain, 529 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 4: so I think there's still some value here on Morocco. 530 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to bet the three way line, and it's 531 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 4: because of what you were saying, Bja, the Portuguese defense. 532 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 4: I just don't think that they're going to hold anybody 533 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: in ninety minutes. I think that we're going to see 534 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 4: Morocco have some success and that leads to a more 535 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 4: high event game, which means that it's less likely to 536 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: go to extra time. So I think at plus four fifty, 537 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 4: there's reason to get involved on Morocco, who should be 538 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 4: able to turn this thing into a coin flip with 539 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: their defense, with the style they play, and you know 540 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: they'll just need to get lucky. But if you're betting 541 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 4: an underdog at this price, that's what you're looking for. 542 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 4: So I like Morocco here to continue their run, and 543 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 4: I think that there's no way any of us would 544 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 4: betting Portugal at this number, or am I wrong? 545 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 3: Anthony. I'll tell you what. The strongest case you can 546 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: make for Portugal is the decision, the personal decision that 547 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 3: Fernando Santosch made ahead of the Round of sixteen match 548 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 3: that stunned a lot of people. I had Switzerland, and 549 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: I was immediately fearful of my bet Ronaldo out Gonsale 550 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 3: Ramos in immediate improvement in the Portuguese attack not even close. 551 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: Look like watching two different teams. I think the game 552 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: state definitely played a big role. I thought Swiss were 553 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 3: a little over over pressing and over committing early in 554 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 3: that match and let it get away from them. But 555 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 3: of course you go down one nil off of a 556 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 3: banger and then you can see it off a set 557 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 3: piece and like the match is kind of over unless 558 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 3: you go for it. So that just opened up acres 559 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: of space for this for the Portuguese to hit them 560 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 3: in transition, which they've always been an X one transition team, 561 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 3: but there are still question marks about how good are 562 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 3: they when they're breaking down a good defensive low block team, 563 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 3: which they have not faced really in this tournament, or 564 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: Aguai would probably be the team. And if you watched 565 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: the first half of that match, they didn't create anything 566 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: and then it was a Fluke goal that ultimately led 567 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: to Portugal getting the win. So they played a good 568 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: defensive Swiss team. But again, like the game state through 569 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: that haywire immediately and like the finishing is not going 570 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: to continue. Portugal finished at an alarmingly high rate they 571 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: had two expected goals five post shot expected goals scored 572 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 3: six against the Swiss. You don't normally shoot that well, 573 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: and so I think that created a little bit of 574 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 3: an inflated perception on this Portuguese team. I thought we'd 575 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 3: get Morocco plus one. I will bet Morocco plus one 576 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 3: if it's minus one thirty one, twenty five or cheaper. 577 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: Right now, it's sitting at like minus one forty, so hopefully, 578 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 3: you know, people go bet Portugal. Let's move this line 579 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: up a little bit so I can get in on the 580 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 3: Morocco again. But yeah, I mean the Moroccans did a 581 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 3: stellar defensive job of preventing access to the wide areas. 582 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: Jordi Alba was a non factor as a progressive outlet. 583 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: They were not able to progress ball up the right either, 584 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: so there was no way for Spain to get in 585 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 3: behind because they don't really have runners up the middle 586 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: and behind either. That's not really Marat's game, it's not 587 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 3: really a SENSIO's game. So that led to a very 588 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: difficult situation. And we'll see what Santoche does if he 589 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: wants to start Ronaldo or not. Either way, I think 590 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 3: Morocco's defense will show here they have not trailed in 591 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 3: this tournament. They've only conceded one big scoring chance and 592 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: it was against Croatia in the first match. They've also 593 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: now held Croatia, Belgium and Spain under one expected goal 594 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: in each in those three matches. So it's been a 595 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: stellar defensive performance and I see no reason to think 596 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 3: that Portugal is just going to walk all over them. 597 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: So I like under two and a half. I disagree 598 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 3: with Bja here. 599 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 4: All right, let's wrap it up with the headliner, which 600 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 4: is a two pm kickoff on Saturday between England and France, 601 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 4: a rematch of the Hundreds of Years War, all the 602 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 4: Napoleonic Wars, basically every war fought in Europe up until 603 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: World War One. England plus two hundred France plus one 604 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 4: forty on the three way line. The draw here is 605 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 4: plus two to twenty five to advance England plus one 606 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 4: ten France minus one thirty eight BG. I think these 607 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 4: numbers look right. I disagree with you. I think France 608 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: deserves to be the favorite here, not by much, but 609 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 4: I think we overlook You're overlooking one thing that happened 610 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: in that Senegal match, which was England were out plate 611 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: in the first thirty minutes and they were lucky enough 612 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: to be down to nil. 613 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: So name about France against Poland, Yeah, yes you could. 614 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 4: You can say that, but you could you could also say, like, 615 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: I think I would trust France to be able to 616 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 4: come back from that hole more than more than an 617 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 4: English team as well. Right, Like, if if France goes 618 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 4: down one nil here, I think there's more paths to 619 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 4: success for them. I agree, if England goes down one nil, 620 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 4: it's going to be a problem. But I'll go back 621 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 4: to you and in any thoughts you had that maybe 622 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 4: you left off at the top of the show. 623 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 5: Well to that point, I would say England has proven 624 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 5: throughout this World Cup that when they've gone ahead, they've 625 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 5: been able to punish teams when they have to operate, 626 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 5: and the same will happen against France, because if France 627 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 5: has to come out of the little block and they 628 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 5: actually have to do something that they're not used to doing, 629 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 5: which is pressing trying to win the ball high, it's 630 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: going to be a disaster. So I think England actually 631 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 5: has set up very well when they're ahead to actually put. 632 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: Two, three, maybe four goals. 633 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 5: On France and let's just be honest, Like throughout this 634 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 5: starting eleven, England has more talent. Yes, France has Imbope, 635 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 5: but in every other position I would say England has 636 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 5: just as much or if not more talent, and they 637 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 5: have a better manager, Like Southgate is a much better 638 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 5: manager than de Shamps who just sets this team up 639 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 5: in the exact same way who Anthony has been ridiculing 640 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 5: for years now, and now suddenly they're. 641 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: Playing England and oh my gosh, he's such a good manager. 642 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 4: No. 643 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 5: You two can sit and live on narrative Street and 644 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 5: pick up your copy of The Sun in the morning 645 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 5: and read that Sarah Gara Southgate is too conservative. Oh 646 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 5: my gosh, he's got the handbrake on. That's just been 647 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 5: not been true at all in this entire tournament. This 648 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 5: is an England team that went to the semi finals 649 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 5: of the last World Cup and lost in penalties of 650 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 5: the finals of the last World This is an outstanding 651 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 5: turn tournament team. 652 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: With if not the most attacking talent other than Brazil. 653 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 5: So I love England here. I mean this is they 654 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 5: should not be underdogs. They're more talented, they have a 655 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 5: better manager, and they've looked more impressive in this tournament. 656 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 3: Honestly, I think it's debatable. I think I think when 657 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 3: you watched, like, yes, Poland had a couple of chances, 658 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: but also so did France to take in a very 659 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 3: early lead like the Jeru miss kind of sticks with 660 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: me from that match. But I think the most interesting 661 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: thing here I agree with BJA like England are good 662 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: front runners and so are France, and it does make 663 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 3: the first goal of this game extremely important because if 664 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: France does score first and they are able to sit 665 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 3: and let Engylin have the ball and then BAPA is 666 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 3: just like waiting for the transition, waiting for the transition. 667 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: I do wonder how Softgate will manage that because we 668 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 3: have not seen them come from behind. I trust France 669 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: much more to come from behind because they've done it before. 670 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 3: Because yes, as good as England has been in tournaments, 671 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 3: remember France did win the World Cup with multiple you know, 672 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 3: the same front three. I guess the midfield is different, 673 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 3: but the same front three, same goalie, some of the 674 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: similar pieces from that team. So it's not like France's 675 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 3: you know, newcomers to this world stage here. So I 676 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: think from a tactical point of view, it is fascinating 677 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 3: to see how this game shifts once the first goal 678 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 3: goes in. Who scores it? France? We don't know what 679 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: they look like pressing more, but like could they be better? 680 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I think they could be a 681 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: good team, you know, forced teams to play high and 682 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 3: push up a little bit more. Like we just don't 683 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 3: see it that much because they don't have to do it. 684 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: But that would be a really fascinating thing. Remember they 685 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 3: went down one netle Switzerland. They turned up the jets 686 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: and like rolled Switzerland for about a half hour, and 687 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 3: then the Swiss came back late in that knockout match 688 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: last year. So it's not like France can't come from 689 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 3: behind or turn on the jets or provide a ton 690 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 3: of attacking punch. I just wonder how it's not just 691 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 3: Membape but Dembele on the other wing against Luke Shaw. 692 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 3: I think that could be a potential advantage for the French. 693 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: So I like the attacks and both teams here, Like 694 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: I'm kind of in on both teams right now going forward, 695 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 3: and that's why I like both teams to score. 696 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: Speaking of those attacks, just a quick shout for should 697 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 4: England win this match? And get in Boppe out of 698 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 4: the Golden Boot race. He still could win it obviously 699 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 4: with five goals and to assist if even if he doesn't. 700 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 3: Add to it. 701 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: I kind of like the Rashford and butkay Osaka as 702 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 4: long shots in the in the. 703 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 2: Golden Boot race. 704 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 4: Rashford's thirty four to one is the highest I saw it, 705 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 4: and then Sakka is thirty. 706 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 3: Eight to one. 707 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 4: If in Bope's out, those guys are already on three goals, 708 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 4: they could have a pretty open match against Portugal and 709 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 4: then the final. So you know it's a long shot 710 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 4: for a reason, but those would be my two Golden 711 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 4: Boot picks if if we can get him Bope out, 712 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 4: but Bija, I just don't know. 713 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 5: If it's going to be a straight hill be gone, 714 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 5: he'll be gone. 715 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 3: There is an argument for Ramos though, now, because they're 716 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 3: going to play a quarterfinal, which they're heavily favored. They're 717 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 3: going to play then if they win that, a semi 718 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 3: final and then a third place game. If Ramos is 719 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: truly upstage Ronaldo U there is a path for Gonsalo Ramos, 720 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 3: who did not play in the group stage, steal the 721 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 3: Golden Boot. 722 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: Here he probably wasn't. 723 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: I mean probably just scores a goal. 724 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 4: Yeah right, I mean he's odds on for a reason here, 725 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: all right.
