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.
