Today was a lousy day in the betting powerful teams on paper suffered in their matches because their rivals were not going to make the game easy for them, but it should also be noted that these teams are not playing at their best level.
The first game Russia vs. Uruguay bets Russia for their performance in the first 2 games and for being at home, but clearly Uruguay nude them and left in evidence the weakness of the Russians, beating them 3 to 0 so first fall in bets at least personally.
Second match Saudi Arabia versus Egypt my bet was on Egypt who in the role with some of the best players in the Premier League looked favorite but were surprised by Saudi Arabia 2 goals to 1.
3rd match Portugal vs. Iran, which on paper was supposed to be a victory for Portugal and was clearly convenient for them, ended up drawing the score with the Iranians thanks to a penalty that gave them the benefit and I must say that Portugal played very badly and with a very slow pace in the second half so that the game was tied 1 - 1.
4th match Spain vs. Morocco the powerful Spain was besieged by a team from Morocco that came out hungry and opened the game with a 1-0 score against Spain then the Europeans tied, and the Africans with another goal went up, they were on the verge of winning but Spain was ultimately tied, so that the score was 2 - 2, definitely was a tragic day for betting and predicting personally, I think for many people too.
It has not been an easy World Cup, it has been very even in general, the groups are already being defined and hopefully there may be more surprises in the next stage.
