Spain carried on their, and my, World Cup wagers journey with a 1-0 win over Portugal yesterday, Mikel Merino’s last‑minute header landing another profitable day’s work. Then Belgium absolutely thumped the USA in one of the most talked‑about fixtures of…
Wow. What a game we’ve just witnessed at the Azteca. Mexico v England will go down as one of the greatest World Cup matches ever played. A red card, two penalties, five goals, a referee who seemed desperate to make…
Another World Cup wagers day, another split. Morocco did their job, Canada didn’t, and my France same‑gamer went down in flames before it even had a chance to breathe. That’s been the theme of this World Cup so far: one…
