alright how many times need I say this? 1) Greece are nowhere near the world-beaters this line is making them (us) to be. I can't think of an opponent bad enough to make me back us 1/8. Perhaps Luxembourg or something. I have said many times that in N. Ireland there are simply no skillful players. Sure but they are not Luxembourg. You don't know of no Luxembourg or Andorra player that plays in the Premiership (let alone in NUFC). I wouldn't back 1/8n Greece against Andorra. How can I do it against N. Ireland that are yet to score in the group? Even if I think Greece will nick a win (only with a with they get automatically to Euro 2004) I can't give 2 goals to N. Ireland. If we are 1-0 up why would we attack for a second and risk the qualification? Good chances of a push with this line, but I just can't see the linemaker's point of view here: With such a line nobody could bet on greece, it is either N.Ir. or nothing. Who would like to be paid 1.80 only if Greece wins by 3 or more?????????? If England couldn't beat Greece in Manchester to qualify for WC (they drew in the last seconds) and Germany couldn't beat Finland also at home and also in the final matches of their groups, then how could Greece ever be laying 2??? With Giannakopoulos slightly injured too? With no player in form? It is only motivation on Greece's side. Not enough to take away all the value of a +2 +105 IMO.

Austria +325. Not that I love this side. But as much as they don't play for nothing, Chechia don't play for nothing either. They won the group already even ifthey lose and Holland wins (they will be tied in points but they win tiebreaker). No reason actually for Austria to win. But this could be an international friendly type of game with lines that make you think it is official, Williamhill got it right I think, Chechia should be favoured slightly (better team) but we don't even know what team will they play with. Why should they play Nedved for instance? Friendlies favor draws but with such lines I will take Austria.
