Morning Mike and must say we have had a couple of threads on the World Cup which appears to have died a death .

It must be the most low key build up ever to potentially one of the greatest sporting events in the world .

Interested to hear views and selections putting politics aside .

Good Punting

Agree Dave, surprisingly even the National Broadcaster is not flighting the theme songs
Can remember the Siyaya i France and then the Brazilian one with the kids on the street.
No build up yet.
Our Mzansi theme was Feel it, it is here. For the 2010 edition.

.....I see that SABC also have acquired broadcast rights to this event but the amount of live TV coverage is not exactly clear.....hopefully one can watch key games mahala on openview without having to donate dosh to Multichoice....who are punting their exclusivity on Showmax Pro/Supersport channels....I was considering springing for a sub ....only to find out that I would need to get a new smart TV or a upgraded media streaming device as Showmax Pro is not available on older Smart TV's, streaming boxes nor the Explora DSTV decoders.....:S

What streaming device you using?

I am using the Xiaomi streaming stick. The TV that I am using is not a smart TV. I currently stream, DSTV Now, Netflix, Showmax, YouTube, etc by using the Xiaomi. Can also surf the net with it and other streaming services like Amazon Prime. It works perfectly. It costs around R700.

In order for Opta to arrive at those probabilities I’m convinced that they just converted the bookies’ prices into probabilities. Opta’s probabilities and bookies’ prices are almost aligned. Using these numbers alone, there is no opportunity for finding “value”. Some a little “expensive” like Brazil. Grrrr.

Friday Gossip:

Poland's national team was escorted by fighter jets on their way to Qatar.

Argentina and Uruguay have each taken 900kg of meat to Qatar so players and staff can have a taste of home.

Qataris want Fifa to reverse the decision to allow beer to be sold at all stadiums.

Mane is out as he requires surgery. (Mac backed Senegal to lift the cup prior to Sadio’s injury 😢)
