Yep **Osakadave** , it’s the humidity as well as the heat. Probably good for them though. Thirsty work for the supporters as well ! Oh okay, so we’re looking at USA vs. Ireland and Brazil vs. England in the semi-finals 😃 …I have to say, strange things are happening in this World Cup, but can they really stay this strange ? Ya have to love Cup competitions… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by DSYoungEsq \* > \*\*Hehehe, **Osakadave** , I have to say that the odds of USA in the final are steadily growing. \*\* And how! Most sites had the US odds of winning the cup before it all started at 300/ 1. After Portugal they rose to 100/1. Currently\*, Vegas has it at 40/1! (England is 10/1). [sub]\*I’m not sure how “current” these are. The sheet gives odds for Argentina at 5/2 and France at 3/1. Ha![/sub] ---

Quick consultation of the wall chart…Yep you’re right, **Jabba**. It’s changed around as we came second. ---
