Day 2.......

Well its day two in South Africa and it is Englands turn to take centre stage (hence the early posting - the pub is calling). If I wasn't English I would be tempted to back the draw @ 10/3 with BETFRED as the Yanks are not that bad a side, just ask Spain whose long unbeaten run was ended by the Americans. Plus we have the unfortunate scenario of a midfield pairing of Gerrard & Lampard rearing its ugly head, but as I said, patriotism rules out a serious punt on the match so I'm giving it a bodyswerve (sort of).

So todays suggested bet is a treble, stick England in (yeah I'm going against all rules of betting here, don't let the heart rule the head etc.) and you have to side with Argentina who are surely good enough to see of the Nigerians. Meanwhile I think Greece have enough in there locker to see off a poor South Korean side whose enduring inability to defend set-pieces gives them an air of vulnerability at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium today. The treble pays just over 6/1 with STAN JAMES.

And don't forget, in international football there is a fine line between success & failure, we like to call it Hadrians Wall.

The next Guaranteed profit bet will be on the South Africa v Uruguay game on June 16th and will be posted by Monday morning
