Soccer World Cup Play: Greece vs. Ivory Coast
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
Greece is “forced” to win in order to advanced for the next round! They simply can’t play in an “all-in defense mode” for 90 minutes because it won’t be enough for them! Obviously, I expect them to be proactive today while looking to score in build-up plays… this will work against them on the defensive end, because they will allow some space on the back, and Ivory Coast has some incredibly speed on the front.
I also think that Ivory Coast has a considerable physical edge over Greece. Note that we are dealing w/ an African team vs. European and this factor alone could be enough to validate my point of view, but we can’t ignore the fact that Greece played w/ 10 men almost one hour vs. Japan in game played in Natal (high humidity!). This will catch them late in the game…
More importantly, Ivory Coast is simply the better team! Side note: A "tragic accident" to the brother of the Toure’s brothers has been a factor in the last days...
“IVORY COAST coach Sabri Lamouchi has thanked Toure brothers Yaya and Kolo for their courage amid tragedy at the World Cup.
The Toure’s have vowed to play on in Brazil following the death of their 28-year-old brother Ibrahim last week.
It means both players will be available for the Elephants' decisive final Group C game against Greece, when the Africans will attempt to secure a last-16 place.
Lamouchi said: "It's tough to talk about football when you get news like that. It seems inappropriate somehow.
"What Yaya and Kolo have been through is a real tragedy. We're here for them and their entire family.
"They had a crucial and difficult decision to make and they decided to stay.”
This could boost the “team spirit” for this contest + their superior technical ability + physical edge makes the Ivory Coast a team w/ great value in here = Double Dime Play!
Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on Ivory Coast ML @ -101 / 1.99 on Pinnacle Sports (OR -102 / 1.98 on 5 Dimes)
