USA Vs Brazil On Sunday: Settle Down Americans

betplom · 06-26-09, 05:40 PM

All in on Brazil is the play.

DrStale · 06-26-09, 05:44 PM

Parlay on Brazil/Spain a pretty solid play as well.

Dark Horse · 06-26-09, 06:20 PM

I'm not touching it, but it's the same scenario as US v Spain. To one team it's a game of historical importance, while the other doesn't care too much, wants some vacation time and doesn't want to risk injuries before the start of the regular season(s).

The refs have been quick to red-card 'cheap' US players when tackling 'expensive' international stars, so the US can't resort to intimidation (another indication that the tournament is internationally considered a friendly).

SamsNCharge99 · 06-26-09, 06:28 PM

how can you say this means nothing for USA, this is a HUGE game....for confidence and for some respect nationally.

You cannot say that Spain let them win and that was a fluke. Spain came out in the 2nd half 200%, but the defense was just better for US....so US is a legit team.

As for this gm vs. Brazil, another HUGE game. It's the finals of a big tourney, and the last chance for them to play ina tourney like structure before World Cup.

Also, they lost 3-0 to them a week ago, how good would they feel if they played better and maybe only lost 1-0 or scored a goal and lost 2-1 or so.

This isn't just a who cares game

KingRevolver · 06-26-09, 06:32 PM

Oh man. Here we go again...

I love how if the U.S. wins it then it just didn't mean enough for Brazil but if Brazil wins then the U.S. sucks.

If the U.S. beats Brazil tomorrow it'll be another great win. They beat the filthy Spaniards and now hope to beat Brazil. That's the bottom line. If they lose - oh well.

BRAZIL VS USA
Under 2.5 Goals

CaneDawg · 06-27-09, 06:14 AM

i'll be watching baseball or CSI reruns

jayc88 · 06-27-09, 07:22 AM

confederation cup means shit ,
most of the teams were better off without this cup , but its great for teams like south africa or the us to gain some confidence

RageWizard · 06-27-09, 07:54 AM

A couple of things here:

This will probably be the highest rated Soccer match ever televised in the U.S.A., but sadly more people will watch Nascar by a ratio of 25:1, because we just don't like soccer here.

Brazil will crush the american team, and not because of the coffee mug they get when they win, but for the wake up call that the U.S.A. gave the world by beating a sleeping Spain team.

Take the Brazil/Spain parlay and then take the winnings and put it on the under for the hot dog eatting contest.

RogueJuror · 06-27-09, 08:01 AM

confederation cup means shit

Its great for the organizing committee because they test out the country's infrastructure before the big dance. How much it means to the National Teams is a big lol when it comes to capping it, meaning non-factor.

The General · 06-27-09, 05:57 PM

I see prices for a draw. That is for reg time only? We cannot have a draw as final score, correct?

Thanks

lakerboy · 06-27-09, 09:34 PM

if it means nothing for brazil why did they bother to get into the final- of course just to see the stadium where it is so they can get ready for next years tourney - right dark horse but it wont be hot so brazil wont win right

pattymayo · 06-27-09, 09:40 PM

Brazil barely slipped past South Africa.

I think USA has a legit shot to win.

shhhhh22 · 06-28-09, 01:01 AM

Why not play it ike this...

2 Team Parlay: Spain -1 (+108) / Brazil -1 (-151)

And then put 3/4s of a unit to a whole unit on each...

South Africa ML +440
USA ML +725

If the Parlay hits you'll more than cover the 2 individual bets... and if it loses the 2 individual ML bets will cover that.

reno cool · 06-28-09, 01:34 AM

Any international tournament means quite a bit. Sure, it's no world cup, but so what, there's only one world cup every 4 years. What I don't understand though is how did the US get to the finals? I only remember them getting blown out by Costa Rica and losing to some other team. Who the hell did they beat besides Spain? You can't make it to the finals winning one game, can you?

except isn't it pretty like that if spain and brazil win, it will be by 1 goal? so if they both win by 1 goal, your parlay pushes and your MLs lose. wouldn't it be smarter to parlay brazil/spain MLs and then do individual ones on SA and USA for the hedge? The payout would be smaller but you'd pretty much be guaranteed. Its the finals, so how can there be a draw? I'm new to soccer though (damn yank, i know)

When you bet soccer it's regulation time only. So if the score is tied after regulation your bet has concluded and you lose or push depending if you bet the spread or the moneyline. Extra time does not count.

reno cool · 06-28-09, 03:27 AM

I'd take my chances that Brazil wins in regulation.

cuteboy86hi · 06-28-09, 05:42 AM

Brazil players take pride in wearing the selecao shirt.There have been numerous cases when the brazillian have gotten into disputes with their clubs for not releasing them for international duty.So i dont think there will be any lack of motivation and hence a brazil victory.

I dont think a dream ending for USA.

TheLock · 06-28-09, 08:08 AM

I'm on a small play @ +660.

It will be a small miracle but the US squad will be incredibly motivated and they gave a great goalkeeper.

pavyracer · 06-28-09, 08:13 AM

I took Brazil -250 for a big play. Game will be over in the first 20 minutes.

jjgold · 06-28-09, 08:49 AM

Good luck Paver

this ain't a world cup game

KingRevolver · 06-28-09, 08:56 AM

I put 20 bucks on the U.S.

I'm not expecting a win but if they surprise us then I get a decent little score at +660

A sleeping Spain Team. Are u fuking joking? what in the hell were u watching son..I'd hardly call 20+ shots on goal sleeping...stick to your Left hand turn league you fag. As for this "non important" game, you are sadly mistaken to those of you who believe that. This internationally, though not the world cup, is a very important game for both sides. And if you can't see that then you shouldn't be posting ridiculous comments..

Brazil usually wins when they reach the final game. Their only loss was against France in 1998 when they lost to the home team in the final. They have won all other 5 times they reached the final.

Brazil players are still in the middle of their season in Brazil and they are not tired after a long season in Europe like Spain. Putting money on USA is like donating to the bookies and they all love these square USA bets.

wtf · 06-28-09, 09:32 AM

didnt u say the same spain-usa?

looks like spain going down again

i was gonna say the same thing... you can tell who obviously don't follow soccer at all on these forums, they just know the big powerhouses like Spain and Brazil and assume they won't lose this "big" games.

KingRevolver · 06-28-09, 09:34 AM

Haha. Spain is going to lose again. 1-0

pattymayo · 06-28-09, 09:37 AM

F all this noise. I'm putting some money on USA today. After they beat Spain, now Spain is about to lose, everyone here will be wrong on Brazil winning. Too much crazy shit has happened in this tourney, why not go for the huge upset

pavyracer · 06-28-09, 09:39 AM

This is the final game. Brazil only lost one final in their history. They won 5 of 6 WC finals. Now what this has to do about the semi-final game between Spain and USA? Today the game is between Brazil and USA and it is a final game. Huge difference. Huge. The Brazilian fans will be rooting for Brazil and the South African fans also for Brazil. It will be a nightmare for USA players. Brazil also never loses a game in warm climates according to Dark Horse.

KingRevolver · 06-28-09, 09:52 AM

Haha 2-1 Spain - this thing is over. I should've bet the over.

DwightShrute · 06-28-09, 10:01 AM

USA has been playing better than Brazil has been this tourney.

I can see USA winning this. +600

polishkielbasa10 · 06-28-09, 10:31 AM

I love all this Brazil is the lock talk...just like Spain was the lock vs the US and look what happened...US didn't get lucky, they made it happen...they have a ton of momentum and confidence...and showed they can beat the #1, yes #1 ranked team in the world...I'd take the usa, at least +1
