Now advantage Sweden that will have opponents in the quarterfinal that get a bit more worn out in a match that is 120 and not 90 minutes:)

I'm a lucky leprechaun & most of the money I use to bet with is either funds taken from the Lottery or the bookies. Only 25% of winnings are ever used, the other 75% always get banked :-)

One just has to weigh up the options. England are odds on for their next game. However England have a poor record against Sweden, so with odds of 7/2 put £50 on Sweden. If I lose, the bookies get some of their money back. If I win ... :-)

Odds 7/2?
I think here we would call that odds 3.5, meaning that if you bet £50 you will get £177.50 if Sweden win.
If correct perhaps you should bet in Swedish betting offices instead.
The odds is now 5.0 which would mean you would win £250 instead!
Seems like we here in Sweden are more confident that England win then England is:)

Former English football manager Sven-Göran "Svennis" Eriksson believes that England gets harder to beat Sweden than Brazil.
"From my perspective, I think England gets harder to beat Sweden than Brazil. It will be England's most difficult match so far in the World Cup", "Svennis" says to Paddy Power.

7 divided by 2 = 3.5 :-)

50x3.5=175 :-)

SCOTTISH football fans have pledged their allegiance to Sweden ahead of the Scandinavian side’s World Cup quarter final clash with England on Saturday.
Sláinte:)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/983809/england-vs-sweden-world-cup-quarter-final-scotland-russia-2018
The Tartan Army failed to qualify for the finals so Scots are transferring their loyalties to whoever is up against the Auld Enemy at this summer’s tournament in Russia.
Fans who last night openly cheered for Colombia as they were knocked out by the Three Lions have today taken to social media to pay homage to all things Swedish from Abba to Ikea meatballs.
As England’s “football's coming home” anthem gets louder, one user tweeted: "Dear Sweden, have we told you lately how much we love you, please do the damage against engerland and we will love you for ever. Yours lovingly SCOTLAND"

Surprised that they don't have a pop at their cousins across the water :-)
Made it to the Q/F's & if VAR had been about then, it would have been the S/F's :-)
The best bet ever made in football was 12th June 1988 got 20/1 with a stake of £100 - Sorry England :-)

Sorry Scotland

No, on our 1st ever appearance in the World Cup finals, we made it to the Q/F's. The Jocks have never got past the group stage :-)

Of course.
Paddies are better jocks than Jocks.
BTW My nephew is a Scouser that is something like between a Jock and a Paddie:)

Uruguay 0-2 France
The only fun in the match was when Lloris was bothered by a close-up dragonfly who found it's way into Lloris mouth:)

France will meet either Brazil or Belgium that will play later in this evening, in the semi final.
