FIFA are a disgrace.
And the USMNT are a disgrace for exploiting that fact and using Trump to twist arms. It's not like Trump would be all over Article 27 (or whatever it is) about deferred punishments and do this himself.

.... Back to the beautiful game, what you "y'all" think about Portugal vs Spain?

Spain in 90 mins at 2.0 looks tempting to me. Ronaldo just didn't perform well last time out.

Got some pizza money on 0-0 and 1-1 for half times score.

Need a line on Ronnie crying.

Idk, I'd probably prefer Portugal on paper, they have some outstanding individuals in the team but it's hard to carry Ronaldo and their manager sometimes, while Spain has that lovely tiki-taka DNA no matter who plays.

As for the market, this is where it starts getting grindy, like the football itself, the best oppos are probably gone with the group stage when the prices were all over the place. Everything is much more accurate as you'd expect, but happy with the overall volumes and turnovers.

There's been some controversy on Poly around the Ronaldo cry market, but no "visibly shed tears" confirmed yet.

Less commission.

I think this is the thing that people have forgotten about prediction markets: you can't trade in and out of a prediction market without very large transactional costs. People seem to have forgotten or parked that for the moment. You can't trade on prediction markets the way you trade on Betfair.

Ask the Trump family about that one.....
....for a small group of traders, the war with Iran has been a windfall. A number of lucrative, well-timed bets related to the war totaling over $1 billion have raised alarm over people connected to the Trump administration possibly using inside information to profit.

Investigation ongoing.

If Balogun took his place on the pitch, and at the whistle, took his shirt off and left the pitch he'd be a global hero.

Putting some nice play together. If that long haired CB for the US couldn't beat the skinny chap in the air for the 2nd goal, they should put on Lukaku for the laugh and just keep pumping crosses in towards him, he'll destroy him :lol:
