On Taijikstan u17s +3.25 v Argentina later.
This could be terrible but I'm counting on Argentina having a brain.
Argentina are on a big handicap here because they need to score goals to win the group (Spain beat Taj 5-1) so on paper they need to win by at least 3 to win group. However, winning the group is a massive disadvantage here. The winners play Senegal next round who are excellent. They would then play France in the quarters and Brazil in the Semi, who are maybe the two strongest sides in it. Finishing 2nd means you play Italy or Paraguay next and have a much much easier half of the draw. Absolutely no benefit to winning the group unless I've worked stuff out wrong. If they are smart this bet should never lose, just need to hope they realise the situation.
Should say, I think this would be an okay bet anyway if it was the 1st or 2nd game. Taj aren't great, had an awful first 45 v Spain but been fine bar that. Hopefully they can keep it solid. Arg lack creativity.
