12th World Water Polo Championship (Seattle, March 19 – April 1, 2007)

Semifinals:

Men's bracket:
Canada vs. Spain
USA vs. Mexico

Women's bracket:
Canada vs. USA
Australia vs. Russia

So far, everything is unfolding exactly according to the script. 😁

We’re facing Canada in the finals, and I guess everyone’s just thrilled about it.. 🙂

The results are already solid. We’re sitting pretty in the top four at the World Cup. After everything we've pulled off so far, this just feels like a much-needed shakeup.

13-3 🤔
🙏

I’m really just praying we see a massive police presence out in the stands and all over the city... and honestly, I'm hoping the Chief of Police totally screws the pooch on this one...

Respect where it's due🙏

Same here. Just want to be in a good mood when the whistle blows.😁

When the Russians enter the final stages of any competition, they aren't exactly the kind of opponents you want to run into head-on, which makes this win feel pretty significant. You could really see how our team has been finding their rhythm and playing better with every passing game throughout this tournament. While the teams from Mexico and Canada definitely operate on a completely different level when it comes to water polo, I have a feeling this next match is going to be a real nail-biter.

I think this is a perfectly solid lineup—probably the most realistic way to play it.

Mexico-USA 1
The Canada-Spain 1 final.
Odds around 2.0, placing the bet. $33.

An even better combination (my loss). 🙂)

The matchup between America and Mexico.
The Canada-Spain 1 final.

The Finals:
USA-Canada 1 😉

That would be exactly what all those lost souls are wishing for. $33 😉

Man, you just keep on with those "expert" predictions of yours.👍

So, we’re all heading to the "pool" tomorrow, huh... 😁
Don't go thinking the US team can't take us down tomorrow. Look, sure, we're in good shape, but did you guys actually watch that game against Greece? We barely scraped by them. I mean, if you just looked at the final score—an 8:2 blowout—you might think we absolutely crushed them, but let me tell you, the vibe in the water was the complete opposite until the very end when we finally broke them and piled on those extra goals. Honestly, I haven't seen a tougher match in a while. We gave up a goal right at the end of the first quarter. Then in the second—or maybe it was the end of the first, I can't quite remember—they tied it up, then we took the lead again, and the score stayed dead even until almost the very end. That's when we finally snapped them, scoring six goals in a row, just bam, bam, bam... It wasn't easy at all, but the US squad is definitely better than the Greeks.
It’s going to be a hell of a game—guaranteed—as long as our "patriots" and yours don't pull some stupid stunt and ruin everything. 👎

Greetings from Chicago!

Look, the odds on Mexico will hit 1.20, and it’ll be the same deal for Canada. Even if they somehow climb to 1.30, there's no way they're getting anywhere near 2.00 🙂

Canada, Canada..........
dominates both sides of the bracket............

I’m not entirely convinced the odds for the Mexicans will stay that low... but if we're looking at a total of 2.00, I'm putting my money on it 100%.🙂

Man, you’re lucky. 😬

The Mexicans are gonna absolutely wreck us in the semifinals...

...and I doubt there'll be any riots in the stands either...😁

The odds on an American win are sitting at 1.50. 🙂

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't touch that bet either. If I were looking for action, I’d much rather play the under, assuming they set the line somewhere around 15 or 16 goals. 😉

Honestly, water polo is probably the smartest team sport out there—way more tactical than anything you'll see on a field. Let’s tell the whole world so the sheep don't try picking a fight with us, haha.

welcome to America

USA - Russia 13 : 3
Americans (our guys) - Greece 8 : 3

The most recent scores :-)

Guess we actually know how to swim

At 4.50 odds over at DraftKings, wouldn't that be a pretty sweet way to make some decent money?

I went ahead and dropped 20 grand into our fund just for the hell of it.
We could actually pull off something legendary here.
It’s now or never.
