50* One & Only SOCCER GAME OF THE YEAR
France -223
I recommend playing part of your wager on France -1 (-140)
To put this in terms of the type of mismatch this is, I'll use an NFL example. France being this short of a favorite at HOME against tiny little Iceland is like the New England Patriots being -3 at Gillette against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes, Iceland has been the story of the tournament and they're everyone's favorite underdog right now. Don't get me wrong, I love Iceland. They cashed a gargantuan ticket for us against England. I knew if they somehow pulled that victory off, we were going to have a huge play here against the host country, France.
It is remarkable what Iceland has done but they did beat a very over rated England club and it seemed as if the pressure got to them, they looked passed and the English folded. This won't happen to the French. They know now not to take these boys lightly. This is the French we're talking about here. The host country and the favorites to win it all. I don't see how even the referee will let Iceland win. Plenty of calls should favor the home team. If the French stay focused and play their type of game, this should be a destruction. Only chance Iceland has is to play all out defense in this one. If they concede an early goal and are forced to open this game up, France should blow these guys away.
