Hey guys!! Last time i got 3 out of 4 on my predictions, i only lost to my Japan bet.

Now here is my day 4 predictions :)

FIFA World Cup 2014

Day 4 Matches

Switzerland VS Ecuador

The Swiss team has a quite young lineup, given the fact that they did not suffer any defeat during the road to qulifications, they have much to prove and that would be a big feat for them to accomplish.
On the other hand, Ecuador's Caicedo scored seven goals in nine qualification matches for Ecuador and is a 2/1 option in the anytime goalscorer market for this one. He went on a streak of four in four during qualification too.

I'm scoring this a 2-1 win for the Swiss team.

France VS Honduras

So, France's first assignment will be Honduras.
Despite the absense of Ribery, France will go on and try to win their first match.
France still has enough quality in their team to compensate Ribery's absence anyway.

For this match, i strongly, i repeat STRONGLY believe this will be a 2-0 win for France.

Argentina VS Bosnia-Herzegovina

Messi will have the firs chance to claim that he is better than Ronaldo as Argentina faces Bosnia.
I think this will be a good chance for Bosnia to show what they got. Another factor to look at is the 30 goals in the qualifying group.

I am Scoring this a 2 -1 win for Argentina

Lets go!
 
It seems obvious that it's too big a penalty just by watching the officiating. Challenges that would be an obvious call outside the penalty area are routinely let go in the box, because the penalty would be so harsh.
 
If they didn't give a penalty for a handball or fouling in the box and just a free kick outside the box it would be unfair. Most people who never played soccer don't realize that the penalty call is more of a deterrent to defenders not to foul or hand the ball in the box because of the advantage it gives the other team. The soccer forefathers knew what they were doing when they wrote the rule book.
