World Cup Day 20 (2/07)


Netherlands v Brazil
Uruguay v Ghana

Friday, July 2

Netherlands v Brazil

Verdict: Netherlands have cruised to the quarter finals with arguably the easiest draw out of all 8 teams remaining in the tournament. The Oranje have scored 7 goals and conceded 3 against Denmark, Japan, Cameroon and Slovakia in performances that can only be described as dull. Arjen Robben has given the Dutch some extra spark since returning from injury against Cameroon but I expect them to be under extreme pressure against the ever improving Brazilians.

Mark Van Bommel is an aggressive player by nature but has so far escaped a caution in this tournament as his team has rarely needed to get out of second gear. Mark's reputation as a hard man is renowned across Europe, managing 22 yellow cards and a red in his last two seasons with Bayern Munich. I expect the Brazilian midfield and wing-backs to stretch the Dutch to their limits, thus giving us a good opportunity to win this bet.

Picks:
Van Bommel to receive a card @3.0 (unibet, 10 units)

No card
Brazil -0.25AH @1.72 (sbobet, 10 units)
Netherlands 2 - 1 Brazil

Uruguay v Ghana

Pick: Diego Perez to receive a card @3.10 (betfair, 10 units)
Perez cautioned on 60'
