The best of the Betfair football forum
There's plenty to talk about on the Betfair football forum this week, including the possibility of Switzerland frustrating England, whether Gerard Houllier is a good appointment for Aston Villa and who Southampton should turn to next after sacking Alan Pardew...
"Switzerland are a very defensive side that struggles to score but kept out the massively creative Spain side at the World Cup, up against a team that doesn't have that magic spark of creativity when up against a well-drilled team. Bulgaria were all over the shop defensively, so our success against them shouldn't be seen as a defining performance. England have struggled to break down teams for a long time now, and I'm fairly sure they'll struggle again on Tuesday. 0-0 looks a great bet at [10.0], while under 2.5 goals at [1.76] is a cert. - lux_interior
"I really do feel sorry for Villa fans with Houllier coming in. In his last two seasons the football was absolutely awful. Ten men behind the ball stuff at Anfield, even more so when we fluked a goal if we were lucky enough! The bloke undone his good work in 2001 with two awful seasons of football in the end and not taking responsibility and always blaming someone/something else after a 0-0 etc." - Ukmalllia
"Nigel Adkins is exactly the man Southampton need if they have the balls to go for an unfashionable name. Any other managers out there won this league at 66-1 within the past few years like he has?" - dizzydavid1
"Odds of [2.74] seem good for Bosnia, given that France are not on good form. Is it worth a small lump on Bosnia?" - antondeb
"Bosnia's defence is pretty much non-existent but the midfielders and attackers are some of the best in Europe. Despite France's problems, I can see them scoring but I can see Bosnia scoring as well. I think odds against ([2.44]) for over 2.5 goals is very generous and would be the much safer option." - Stringer
