Excerpted from yesterday: “World Cup PREMIERE! Do you dare believe in the same sick distribution as during the Qatar World Cup?”
Yes…It started well anyway. The hundred was right at strong odds and otherwise we were also able to nail the correct result in the match between Mexico and South Africa.
Tonight, the other host nations will step into the tournament…

You (or I) would have expected a volcanic eruption at the Aztec Stadium, but instead it was just a…Hmm…sparkle.
I had also expected that South Africa would be able to bite from… Maybe not that they would win, or take points, but – in any case, that they would be able to get off the field with their honor intact.
Instead stood for a pathetic effort.
So.
Mexico was good, but really wasn’t tested.

I think it will be tougher for Canada.
Bosnia does not stand for revolutionary football under Sergej Barbarez, but has found a path-winning model, based on physical presence and extremely direct football.
It is not customary for host nations to go and win their premierships, especially not if we look at national teams of a slightly narrower caliber – where we probably count Canada anyway…
It is very difficult to buy that you are pushed down to odds below 2.00.
It is widely known that you almost automatically advance on four points…
Both teams know that they have a good chance of winning against Qatar (a formidable team, who may very well act as a punching bag).
So…I can really see a slightly cautious game, at least when we start to step in over the hour played.
Canada is maxed out and, based on what we saw between Mexico vs South Africa yesterday, the referees don’t seem to have much patience.
Villarreal star Tajon Buchanan is ready to take big responsibility for his Canada. Usually able to sniff out good situations and also has an ability to attract warnings.
