First of all, set up your own altar.
I don’t care what’s on it.
Just keep it looking spooky.
Now look for two human-shaped dolls.
Write down “Russia” and “Moldova” on the paper.
Then stick pins into both dolls.
Finally, just curse.
Setup a Facebook group and gather 99 idiots like you.
Then just curse together.
Curse Russia and Moldova.
If it works, Andorra(120) and San Marino(50).
You will win $0.6 million with just $100.
Just Kidding.
But who knows what the result will be?
In fact, it’s the last match of the Group stage, so no one dares to kid around.
Determination and motivation somehow play a greater role many times than any other factors.
So what I suggest is to ignore those who have already qualified – Germany, Holland, England, etc.
The first team to pay attention to is the Czech Republic.
So far they are one point behind Scotland, but Scotland is going to play against Spain.
Therefore, this is their best and last ‘live’ chance.
And whichever way one looks at the match – the quality of players, recent form, tactics etc – the Czech Republic is a far better team than Lithuania.
At the same time, Lithuania, win, lose or draw, they have already been knocked out of the tournament.
Though Lithuania has no chance to qualify, they are good when playing at home – and they will have pride at stake.
They rarely concede more than one goal at home and so the handicap of -1 to the Czech Republic doesn’t look good enough. Just take the standard 1.45.
Slovenia is another team that has no chance of qualifying.
However, because of politics, they remain historical enemies of Serbia.
And being so, they will be committed to defeating Serbia.
While the latter team is hungry to win this match, Serbia has the better players.
But not playing at home, a draw will be the most likely outcome.
As for Group B, as mentioned before, Russia play against Andorra.
Unless your curse works, the result will be expected.
The match for second place in this Group is between Ireland and Armenia.
Armenia is a tough side and has not conceded too many goals.
On the other hand, they have scored the most goals in Group B – even more than Russia.
Armenia’s players are inexperienced and with each wanting to show off their skills and techniques.
This is why, personally, I prefer Ireland – the better all-round team – with McGeady and Whelan, all on fire.
Who can stop Duff from the left?
Think about which striker could pressure O’Shea and Dunne.
This is why though the two teams might seen equally matched, the odds for Ireland should be 1.55 rather than 1.8 or 1.9.
By the way, a 3X1 on Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar would be a good bet, too.
