Good try Gaucho100K.....Why should I take 2.5/1 when I can get at least double those odds in the bookies? :confused:

Tell you what...I'll bet you a bottle of Perrier-Jouët for a case of decent Malbec that Brasil will go farther than Argentina.

Bloody cheek.....PJ costs about 250 pesos a bottle if you're lucky enough to even get it here.
No cash betting allowed says the wife. :o

OK... I will take your PJ then... against 6 bottles of a good Malbec that cost AR$50 per bottle, so as to give you credit for your odds.... hows that...?

And, to add a sweetener, if you put 2 bottles of PJ, I will offer you 18 bottles of the same Malbec.

Make your choice, skirted one.....

PS if you lose, you need to come to Palermo and deliver the bottle(s) with one of those skirts on.... :p

I'm :confused:....why the sudden rush of generosity....have you been on the booze? Or has it got anything to do with the fact that the two goal hero for Milan in the Champions League final was Argentine? :D

Anyway....6 AR$50 bottles of Malbec sounds good to me. I've only got two bottles of PJ left so in the unlikely event of you winning the wager it will depend on whether I still have the two uncorked by July. I have had them for three years so there's no guarantee they will be in good condition :eek:.....however I last opened one about 6 months ago and it was fine. ^

Gaucho100K May 23, 2010 5:01 am

Heck... we've just agreed to the wager so keep your hands off those two bottles of mine... :mad: Drink RSJ with soda instead !!!

No chance in hell Brazil will win this one..... this are the cheapest 2 bottles of PJ Ive purchased in my life... :D

To address your Milito reference.... the issue of the Argentine strikers is exactly why in the end and despite the horrible coach this team may have an outside chance of going further than most think... (me included).

Let the games begin: :D

JOHANNESBURG, May 23, 2010 (AFP) - Argentina coach Diego Maradona is to get luxury toilets at next month’s World Cup following a special request from the Argentine Football Association, a South African newspaper said Sunday.

Maradona’s snazzy loos will include new wash basins, toilet bowls, cisterns, taps and E-Bidet luxury toilet seats, reported the Sunday Times.

The E-Bidet features a heated seat, a warm air blow-dryer and front and rear bidet wands. It sells for 450 dollars (358 euros) at online retailer sandman.com, which bills it as "the world’s best toilet seat".

Heck... having a proper loo is indeed important. Heck, I remember the famous line... " when you're sitting on the Pot, gotta' give it all you got... "

:eek:

I'm sure most are just praying the side doesn't go into the crapper regardless of how spiffy it'll be. Diego Milito seems to be on form as well as Messi. Thanks BTW for kicking lowly Canada's soccer backside in a friendly recently. We'll stick to hockey...:D

Your coach is at it again...I think it's all the more reason for Argentina to not be winning the cup :p:p
