USA v. Germany draw +150?

[tipsadontlikehim]

USA will defend during 90 minutes to get a draw but a 1-0 Germany would not be unlikely

actually i see no reason to play anything on this match, too much speculation, you have to be addicted to bet on this

rookie.

if you're in love with a draw, you wait for a team to score and then the other team would be +odds higher than that not to mention the odds for a draw. LIVE BETTING

Dude it's soccer, if they don't push forward you will never have an opportunity to bet in live betting with a scoreless draw. If they score why not put more money in live betting with better odds.

You have to push your analysis more than that and manage the game pregame and in live betting.

Draw is likely because Germany would rather have USA advance than Portugal or Ghana.

Not really. Neither Portugal nor Ghana will make the semi-finals.
Other things to know:
1) Germany lost to the US in the last meeting. A revenge may be in store.
2) Should Klose play, a goal by him would make him the highest goal score in World Cup history. I don't see him getting a scoring opportunity and deliberately refusing to score.

Live betting with ridiculous hidden chalk. Good call buddy.

[thefonzo]

In the event that both games do NOT draw, isn't the loser of USA/Germany almost a lock (barring two blowouts) to advance by tie breaker via either head to head or goal differential???

[thefonzo]

So they go strictly by goal differential and not head to head?

[ChalkyDog]

GD is first tie breaker, H2H is 2nd.

[KalouKalou]

Exactly

[thefonzo]

So is soccer the only only sport on earth that DOESN'T use H2H as first means of a tie break?

Gonna be a lot of confused/pissed Americans if we tie with Ghana and they advance!

USA is very likely to still advance. In a very good situation. Just sucks, because we were less than a minute from already advancing and putting pressure on Germany.

[mcdonae101]

76% chance America advances according to espn

[JMUplayer]

Ghana Portugal could be an exciting offensive game...

[Ballerholic]

I'd take draw or Germany. Should be a lock

[ChiLLx]

Draw option is no longer being offered on 5dimes

I wouldn't say "very likely", Ghana wins 2-1, Germany wins 2-0, boom bye bye USA

[Vaughany]

Well surely they will want to avoid playing Belgium? Top of group will get to play Algeria - not easy but on paper easier than BelgiuM!

[nskokov]

You're assuming Russia won't beat Algeria? I wouldn't be scared of Algeria, but Russia has a solid team. They're goalie let in a softie against South Korea and they played Belgium neck and neck today. I think they've only given up like 5 goals in their past 14 games or something ridiculous like that.

They'll give any team a good low scoring battle.

But yeah, would still rather play them or Algeria then Belgium.

[addictedto]

This is good only for hedging purposes before KO, otherwise I would not let it ride on the draw when the Germans attack

[addic3t]

So they go strictly by goal differential and not head to head?

a) greatest number of points obtained in all the group matches;
b) goal difference in the group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in the group matches.
These are the basic rules to determine progression and separate performance.
However, the rulebook continues:

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their ranking will be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

I don't think you understand how World Cup works. Germany would rather have Ghana advance so they can knock out possible opponents for Germany down the road.

They look at H2H in World Cup but between all 3 games the teams played. If Ghana beats Portugal by 2 and US loses by 2 then Ghana is in. That means Ghana didn't lose to a team US lost and beat a team US didn't beat. That's why H2H between 2 teams is meaningless.

Ghana just need a 2 goals win and a US loss to qualify. Ghana will then have a +1 GD and US 0.

The current odds seem to support what I said though. Germany only -123, Draw only +178 at Pinny. Both seem out of whack based on true ability of these teams.

[bsutphi]

I don't think you understand how World Cup works. Germany would rather have Ghana advance so they can knock out possible opponents for Germany down the road.

You're telling me Germany would rather have Ghana advance, so that they will knock out some heavyweights (Argentina, Brazil, Netherlands, etc.) only to have to play a hot, confident team that has beat a bunch of favorites? I think your reasoning there is flawed. And I don't think Ghana has any better chance of pulling upsets in the round of 16 than the US does.

Even if it would benefit Germany for Ghana to advance, to say that it would affect their strategy or preparation for this game is laughable.

One thing that a lot of you are overlooking is Germany has not clinched the round of 16 yet. Although unlikely, Ghana and USA could advance from the group if USA were to beat Germany and Ghana beat Portugal by a 3-4 goals. The only scenario that guarantees Germany and USA to advance is a draw. Therefore, I expect a slow game with very few shots of goal or even tackles. Both teams will be playing for the draw. It will be like a game of chicken.

[RMStanley]

US team should bring orange slices and Hi C boxes to share with the Germans. They can just have a laugh and errbody moves on happily.

521 Germany (World Cup) -0.5 (-140) -136. Ov 2.5 (110)

522 USA (World Cup) +0.5 (+125) +1018. Un 2.5 (-125)
