Lukey the Czech 6/8
June 8 - 2007
Lukey’s favorites all came in over the weekend, pushing his bankroll to a respectable $117.75. And what did Lukey do with the extra cash? He paid for a professional photographer to come to his house and shoot a new head-shot. Oh, the vanity!
So I’m off to a great start, but are you really surprised? I was getting text messages galore on Saturday morning, things such as, “you could use the Slovaks now”…guess what, all I had to say was TASTE IT BITCHES!!! I’m 4-0 after the first weekend and plan on continuing my man-handling of this tournament.
Enough of the self promotion, it’s time for more picks. By the way, are you confused as I am by Julie Foudy and why she’s been allowed to spew her nonsensical idiocy on tv..good lord, and Tommy Smith? This guy must be blind, no penalty on that Austrian tackle? Are you watching the same game as me, IDIOT!?
I’ll be in Vegas for part of the week on work commitments and yes, I do plan on making good on the following bets…don’t be a puss… “clenched fists, my apprentice”.
Interesting set of games coming up, and some tough picks, but that’s why I’m here. I think Italy are going to be tough even without Captain Cannavaro and believe they will continue to play they’re counter-attacking style to perfection. Not really sure what is going on in Holland other than the arrogant Van Basten seems to be pissing everyone off - synergy seems to be off. I like the Italians here, too much talent for the Dutch.
Confused why everyone continues to question the French; if you remember, I backed them in the last World Cup even after a slow start and I will continue to do the same here. Spain, if they play with testicular fortitude should take care of Russia - come on El Nino.
Greece vs. Sweden, who cares…really, who gives a shit…I’ll take Sweden.
Ahhh…yes, Czechs and Portugal…wow, I hate to do this but I’m on Portugal. If the Czechs defend as poorly against Portugal as they did against the Swiss they will get punished - I hope I’m wrong.
Finally the Swiss vs Turkey; could there be a game I care less about? Oh, yes, Austria/Poland. Well, no Frei, no Swiss win…Turkey go on and win this boring-ass game.
