Post by: Intriago33 on May 23, 2006, 12:46:07 PM: BTW, can anyone give me the best odds for top goal-scorer on Luca Toni?
I'm looking at putting about £20/30 down on it.

Post by: Javier on May 23, 2006, 12:51:40 PM: Isn't Italy's group too tough for someone to come out as a top goal scorer? Better odds are with players that will play against Trinidiad and Tobago and Saudia Arabia in the group.

Maybe, but this dudes scored so many goals in the last three seasons, and most of these teams haven't faced Luca yet, so they won't know how to handle him.
It's worth taking a swing @ 16/1.
Title: Re: The BIG who's gonna be world champion poll
Post by: Javier on May 23, 2006, 12:55:22 PM: Oh yeah I forgot to say that I think Brazil will win. I hope England wins though, and of course for either Mexico or the US to do really well in the tourney.

Slightly off-topic, what's the situation with Carlos Vela? I heard he signed a pre-contract with Arsenal? This dude seems really talented.
Title: Re: The BIG who's gonna be world champion poll
Post by: Javier on May 23, 2006, 01:12:01 PM: Yeah he did sign with Arsenal. Arsenal loaned him to Celta Viga, they might play him this upcoming season and he'll be back with Arsenal once he turns 18.

Thanks, I can't wait to see this kid improve.

Back to the World Cup, Italy can't afford to have a slow start this time around, coming second would almost certainly mean meeting Brazil in the last 16.

Alot of people find it strange, but it is, what it is- and it's a decision i've stood by for many years.
It's mainly due to me supporting Parma.

That's right.
& it aint no gloryhunting shit, I support Parma, one of the most financially un-stable clubs in recent years.

It was a decision I made a long ass time ago, (12 years), and I stick by that.

Post by: Mac 10 † on July 11, 2006, 01:22:22 PM: OK.
