You're assuming it's your fault. It's not. It's Belgian Voodoo. The same happened to us. We shot on target so many times Courtois' cardiologist must've been called on the pitch. Yet, just one lousy goal. One. The Belgians were just hanging on for dear life while the Brazilian artillery hit everywhere but inside the goal :( |

Magnets and Voodoo aside (they’re not called the red devils for nothing) you should just embrace the magic that is Belgium. Btw that game is a bit of a ploy for FIFA to make more money and an excuse to watch a little more soccer. I’m glad Belgium won but who really cares or will remember who came in 3rd place.
I was reading today that FIFA is cracking down on the “Honey Shot”, sadly I didn’t know what it was until after it was taken away from me. Political correctness has taken the fun out of everything. |

| Trying Jack's betting approach this time, betting on the team I don't want to actually win (France), so I'll be pleased either way this goes down! |

| The odds on France are so piss-poor you must really want them to lose, because you'll need to shovel money on them to see any worthwhile return. |

| Despite the checkers I want Croatia to win |

| This has been a strange game. Really subdued atmosphere, France have been totally outplayed, and yet they've taken the lead twice. |

| Croatia’s goal was pretty sweet. |

| If by subdued you mean clean, then yes it has been wonderful. I'm not happy with the results either, but that's football. The ref can't be blamed. |

Well, I do really want them to lose, but I also bet they would win a while ago, so I got good/decent odds. I could have cashed out at a profit before the match, but decided to let it ride.
A very strange game, though, as you say. |
