It all started so well for my World Cup wagers on Friday with Australia and Egypt playing out the 1–1 I’d lined up. From there, the whole thing went off a cliff. Argentina couldn’t find a second‑half goal, or even…
Rafael Leão was about an inch of crossbar away from being Tommy’s toast of the tournament. He laid on Portugal’s winner against Croatia, and also nearly took the roof off the stadium with a second‑half thunderbolt that would’ve landed a…
Another day of World Cup wagers, another day where a bet managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How Senegal contrived to miss out on the last‑16 I’ll never know, but what I do know is I’ll be…
Yesterday was a good day for the World Cup wagers. The Ivory Coast v Norway game delivered exactly the goals I punted on, and Mbappé did Mbappé things, firing France to a comfortable 3–0 over Sweden. Only a limp, half‑hearted…

Friday’s World Cup wagers were an utter bloodbath, there’s no other way to put it. Senegal got the job done against Iraq but aside from that nothing came close to coming in really. It’s left me feeling down, but at…
Day 2 of the group deciders actually treated us alright for once. Three winners straight up, a fourth dragged over the line by the old “super‑sub” promo, and the fifth only one leg short of glory in a very pleasing…
One step forward, two steps straight off a cliff, that’s been the story of my World Cup wagers so far. Mexico’s last‑minute goal made it four losses from six, and the whole thing could’ve looked completely different if John McGinn…
