@GambIingPro Obviously but the bet you posted doesn't exist. It's capped at £10 per person as it's free money.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Check the draw. Spain have a significantly easier group and are a much better team. They are also more likely to have an easy path to the later rounds. This bet is a trap. Norway and Senegal won't concede many and France can meet Argentina early. https://t.co/kjFQm80kzP

FREE £2000 😂😂😂 IN WHAT GALAXY DOES THIS COME CLOSE TO LOSING😂😂😂😂😂😂

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@GambIingPro No because Kane won't play vs Panama and it is dependent on Haaland bagging multiple goals vs Iraq. Given his recent injury/fitness question marks I could see him being rested once they're 2-3 up. Not saying it can't win, just it's not as good ass it looks.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@JimmyThePunt Did you watch them the second half of the qualification campaign? They went completely off the boil. Peaked 2 years ago. Makes sense with James now being washed. I'd love them to go a long way but honestly think they're prime for an upset and massively overrated.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

I backed Kane each way for the golden boot. Not cos I think he wins it but cos he should finish top 3-5 and bookies had a free bet offer for each shot on target he has. I did the same on another site with Mbappe outright for a free bet for each goal scored offer.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

I think we make the semi's but it's impossible to trust this team to win a major tournament given recently bottling and form. They are too short a price to represent any value each way and nobody is wasting money backing them outright given history. https://t.co/OUSb027qvA

[KG @KgYips]

Not sure I've seen an outright on my feed for England

Not one

I've seen a few Kane bets but nothing else

People really think England have no chance?

I think they're SF minimum

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

This entire tournament is a scam. Anyone supporting it by going is an idiot. This would be fine if a water was pocket change as bottles in theory can be used as weapons. We all know it's gonna cost silly money. All about money, not safety or common sense. https://t.co/UYCtiN80iN

Exclusive @TheAthleticFC

FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia

As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now

@ArenaFanatic This one is unique. Most are hosted in locations where the listed issues don't exist. The keys for most people are affordability and accessibility. A working class man must be able to survive a month there without the need to sell his house or organs. Even Qatar delivered on it.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Not sure you understand football fans. The real issues are:

1. Hosted by a country currently committing war crimes
2. Scamming fans on tickets
3. Overpriced accommodation
4. Ridiculous stadium locations
5. Lack of public transport
6. Shit expensive beer

Things most people complain about World Cups

-Game times

-playing surface

- cost for cities/countries to host

-building new stadiums (does not apply to US)

My World Cup support tiers

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@TheRewiredPod @barlowjacob I would be worried with us playing Panama last and them being absolute dross. Could see an entire reserve team put out. Kane is a particularly big threat to be rested as he's older and our most important player. If we played them second like Mbappe getting Iraq I'd feel better.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Probably because they are the loudest people on earth. Unable to appreciate peace. If you've spent time in Latin America you'll understand. Non-stop loud music at all hours, shouting and just general noise. Like Yanks but somehow even less civilised. https://t.co/WUWlc9KeEq

[BB @mariatriess]

Bruh why do Spaniards hate Latino Americans so badly😭

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@JuanRosero24 @patobonato Exactly my point. How can you be pure when you are not a native of that land and you are from a country of immigrants? The Bosnians and Croats are the best examples you can find as evidenced by their surnames and appearance. Only national teams that are 100% native.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Why is the whole of Twitter suddenly acting like Ecuador are a bunch of world-beaters? They have a good defence and protection with a poor goalkeeper and very little up top. Only way they upset the big teams is with clean sheets which is gonna be very difficult.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@BFordLancer Do you realise how bad Panama are? This Croat team is not very good by historical standards but all they have to do to qualify is beat Panama. A good non league side could manage that.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Not to mention their national team peaked 2-4 years ago having a great Copa and start to World Cup qualifying before absolutely tanking for a combination of reasons. I'd mark them as primed for an upset before being dark horses. James being washed and Duran's meltdown ended them.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

Colombia being used to the climate is one of the worst guesses I've seen. Whoever wrote this crap has never heard of altitude. Only the Caribbean cities and a few other mostly smaller ones have crazy dry humidity and US summer temps. Bogota is like the UK. https://t.co/d7vfgjwLLQ

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

Genuine ‘dark horses’ for the World Cup after doing a bit of research:

🇪🇨 Ecuador - one of the best defences at the tournament - Willian Pacho, Hincapie, Ordonez, Estupinan… with Caicedo sat in front of them - conceded five goals in qualifying

🇯🇵 Japan - wins over Brazil and England in the last year

🇨🇴 Colombia - a team that will be very used to the climate - finished above Brazil in qualifying

🇳🇴 Norway - Erling Haaland

🇲🇦 Morocco - semi finalists at the last World Cup, got to the final of AFCON, won’t be put off by climate

🇹🇷 Turkey - have the most interesting attack outside of the elite nations - Guler, Yildiz and set-piece wizard Calhanoglu

🇲🇽 Mexico - home advantage and a very pragmatic manager in Javier Aguirre

🇨🇮 Ivory Coast - horrible team on the counter - very exciting young players with Diallo, Diomande, Adingra

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

If Ecuador are a serious threat to win it they'll beat Germany. Would i bet on it? No. Would i bet on Germany to win that group? Not a penny. No idea how they're so short win win the group and tournament. Weakest major team by far. https://t.co/wAIhNBJ8Xs

[Frank Ammirante @FAmmiranteTFJ]

Norway and Ecuador are two of my favorite teams who can unexpectedly get to the semifinals.

The problem:

They both are likely to face each other in the Round of 32.

If Norway finishes 2nd behind France, and Ecuador finishes 2nd behind Germany, they face each other next round.

[John Smith @UrbanExplorer00]

@Willis64761622 @gregorjhh @A6788C But they don't need to beat them, just to qualify which will be more like 1.5-1.6
