Czech the odd one out there, being close to 3/1 outsider. Bosnia might be 'the value bet' tonight among the outsiders, at twice the Czech price.

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Ask Tommy Hutchison. He scored twice in the 1981 FA Cup final, and didn't take a winner's medal in a 1-1 draw. Lost the replay."
To compound things a little bit, of the 4 goals scored in our 2 - 2 draw match 2 were pennos and 1 was an o g.

You seem to be insinuating that the team who scores an og in a 90min drawn soccer game is automatically superior to the team that benefits from that og in that specific game. I wouldn't agree with that insinuation. I'd say it's closer to 50:50, as to which side is superior in that event. Imo, you're overstating the 'og aspect' in assessing the relative merits of Czechia and Ireland on March 26th.

Hopefully President Trump will declare victory tonight and say they are going home, otherwise prepare for fuel rationing and even higher prices I think.
Iran won't be developing any nukes after this bombardment, it will take years to rebuild what's been destroyed not to mention all the innocent lives lost, is the world any safer or better now? I doubt it,
Netanyahu is happier though anyway.
