    I've got the stupidest questions in the history of America for you.


    How can Man U draw tomorrow?
    isn't it elimination or something? (shootout if tied?)

    and won't they be inspired to play?


    -157 is kinda chalky but it seems like a safe bet... yes?


    I got Liverpool right today but I know very little about soccer.

    would love some action though on the espn2 afternoon game

    thoughts?

    Graded after regulation time.

      so a 1-1 game at the 90 minute mark is graded as a draw and under?

      regardless of what happens afterwards?

        Yes, graded after regulation (90 minutes + stoppage time).

        Man-U/Inter total is set at 2 at most books, though.

          gotchya

          is there a motivation factor involved tomorrow though?

          like does man-u want/need this game or are they just going through the motions

          and at intertops its under 2.5 -187 (I wasn't going to play the total though...)

            This is a very important game for Man U. These games are tricky for people that do not follow soccer and don't know the rules of the aggregate scoring.

            The match tomorrow is the 2nd leg of a home and home. Two weeks ago they played to a 0-0 draw. If for instance tomorrow ended at 1-1, Manchester United would be out of the competition. This is because away goals break the tie. If Man U gives up a goal , they would have to score two to move on. These are the things you have to look at when trying to cap these kind of games.

            With that being said, I do like Man U to win the game. So far in the competition, the English teams are showing their dominance and right now Man U is clearly the best team in England. They should win this game.

              that's what I wanted to hear immortality

                alright, I've read countless previews for tomorrows game (like I said, I don't know how to handicap soccer) and I'm definitely backing man u...

                most of the soccer guys who have previewed the game have man-u winning at 2-0...

                the counter argument is that inter will score 1 and just keep man-u from scoring 2...

                I thought of taking inter +1 +103 but because of the multiple previews suggesting a 2-0 game I'm gonna roll the dice on Man-U ml

                best of luck and thanks

                  Inter are a way too quality team to ride them off. All it takes is Ibrahimovic to play well and they will win.
                  my tip for this game is inter and i also think they will win champions league.

                    Good luck

                    I have future bets on Man U to win the Champions League so I will be rooting for them.

                      I am far from writing Inter off. Man U totally outplayed them in Italy and may very well regret not scoring a goal there. I just think Man U is playing too well right now and few of their stars go to rest over the weekend. Although Inter might give them trouble, I don't see Man U losing at Old Trafford.

                        Inter's a mess at the back, Ibra never steps up on this stage and the English teams have outclassed Italy throughout the tourney.

                        Barca -240 for me tomorrow.

                              how are these plays?

                              Man-U / USA parlay

                              Barca / USA Parlay

                              I think there is little to no way usa loses in the algarve cup final

                              or should I just 3team all of them and only do one

                              275 is the limit at intertops for the usa match...

                                  I can get more than 275 down on usa with parlaying the two though...

                                        Inter is way too slow and English teams outclass all other opponents. It is asking a lot for Inter to score a goal at Old Trafford. Only reason for taking Inter is maybe thinking Jose Mourinho will work some magic.

                                        Odds are really nice for a team like Inter and it seems like oddsmakers are setting a trap.

                                        god bless Manchester United.

                                          Games are two tier. First game was 0-0. Inter advances with any draw except 0-0 because of the away goal rule. If game ends 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 Inter advances without overtime or pk's. If game ends 0-0 then there is 30 min OT and then pk's if noone scores. Of course whoever wins the game in regulation or OT advances since the first game was a draw. This is why there is a draw option on regulation 3 way betting.

                                              i think the line is a little generous for man utd, also if you like statistics ferguson has only beaten a team of mourinho's once in 13 matches, and consider that they are forced to win today unless it goes to penalties which is very unlikely i think. also, the reigning cl champion has failed to progress past the round of 16 the past 5 years. inter are going to be playing only ibra up front with stankovic and mancini behind, not sure what to make of this, but i have faith in mourinho.

                                                  and great call on Barcelona Rjt and immortality (I assume 4-1 at the half is good...)

                                                  just 1 half left
