Results:
Nigera 3 - 0 Ireland
Croatia 1 - 0 Slovakia
Holland 0 - 1 Belgium
Poland 1 - 0 Greece

Floydboy it appears you were right, considering I only got 1/4 picks right. I still thought that Holland would easily beat Belgium, the result for this match was a big upset, so was Ireland's loss.

Yeah, sorry Primo, but I have to agree with Floydyboy here. Betting on 'Friendlies' is a bit like betting on practice matches. No doubt the teams are trying to win, but there's no way they are as desperate as if there was really something important riding on the result.

I've heard it said that this very rationale can make betting on the draw in friendlies quite lucrative, provided the home team is not a huge favourite.
