World Cup Sat [B]Netherlands -1 -120[/B]
Yes, I realize laying goals in this tournament is detrimental to my health, but I see a lopsided game here.
The Netherlands are the ultimate control team. It seems their strategy is to pass the ball 19x and then take a shot. I like the control but only if they create goal scoring chances. They had 18 shots on net against Denmark, while Japan could only manage 5 i their first game against Cameroon and that number is tied for the low total with CIV.
Japan is ranked 40th in the world and were very lucky to win their game against Cameroon, who were also a -1 goal favorite. Oranje is clearly the better team, better speed, better passing, control and has at least 5 snipers capable of scoring goals, Japan has none. And I'll predict Japan does not score.
