FRIDAY
France v Germany 17:00
There I was ready to go large on the Germans, only to find out that seven of their players (and no one knows which ones) have got the flu. You could always wait for the team-sheets but even then there's still a danger that Kroos will take to the field coughing and spluttering and Muller'll faint at kick-off. Both sides are 9/5 for the win but with the amount of 2nd round matches that went to extra time the draw after 90 mins at 21/10 could be the one. And if the illness is as bad as we're led to believe, 10/1 on the French winning in extra time isn't bad either. Benzema looks a good bet in the scorers, 5/1 to get the first or 7/4 any time.
Prediction: 1-1
Brazil v Colombia 21:00
Brazil will probably win it, but I'm not so confident to think that odds of 4/5 versus the Colombians at 7/2 are any sort of value. So seeing as it only covers the 90 mins, the Colombia double chance might be worth a go at EVS, then you can take the Brazil win in extra time (9/1) and laugh all the way to the bank (probably). Neymar (EVS) and James Rodriguez (5/2) are clearly the pick of the any time scorers so bet on them. Go on!
Prediction: 2-1
