Italy vs Spain

[StackinGreen]

I see this game as Spain 2, Italy 0

The total has dropped to 2.5, something tells me it is going to be an attacking Spain with a saddled Italy in the back third, waiting for counters, which probably won't happen.

I noticed the spread -1 showed -155 while the alternate -1.5 line is now +140.

Interesting. I scored on Uruguay +1.5 yesterday with most of you guys.

Best of luck

No Balotelli means Italy's attack will suffer even more. Going to be tough for them to score vs. Spain....although, them grabbing a fluke goal isn't out of question as Spain has a tendency to get a little sloppy at the back, as we saw vs. Nigeria as Nigeria should have certainly scored at least one goal.

The question for me is giving the 1.5 for that new, nice price of +140. Italy is, as always, overrated. Now they don't have Balotelli. They gave up 3 to Japan. I just see constant pressure by Spain, and although I could see a 1 goal differential, I think the price is worth it because I could see Spain scoring up to 3 goals pretty easy.

I also like fading the public here, I have no idea what that big movement was all about. I think on my line it was Italy +620 now down to +500

I still say Spain -1.5 and I like the under, but I like Spain by 2 more ...

Best of luck guys

I'm starting to learn Spain -1.5 also, but not sure yet.

[StackinGreen]

If we're that confident that we think Spain can win by 2 or more, maybe we should juice the money line as well and take it all down in the case of a late goal that makes it 2-1 or something. Others have -190 but I'm still at -240 ... hefty, but my -1.5 just went up to +150

[olemissbydamn]

Mine is +114 not even that great of a value wish it would go up to +150

[olemissbydamn]

I mean holy shit France's U20 back line was at midfield, I was yelling for them to put one through and let Jese chase it. Lo and behold they did and now 2 - nil. Great stuff going on here.

[Tmuston Beltics]

Spain -1 @ -113 let's go

Taking Spain -2.5 +375

[vasilli07]

Italy lining up a 3-4-2-1 formation, the same formation that got a draw in the 1st game of the last Euros.

[drfunkmaster]

it seems italy has come to win...

[vasilli07]

Italy playing well so far, came closest to scoring with a half chance by Gilardino

[vasilli07]

Another chance for Italy. Leaning to making a play on Italy pk.

[vasilli07]

Just live bet on Italy pk @ 3.75.

[drfunkmaster]

Spain's defense is suspect here. Spain freaking will lose this game, too many chances italy had already. One will get by. Spain is not prepared for this game at all. everytime Italy gets the ball they drive it down. anyone else see this or is it just me.

[drfunkmaster]

penetrating 5dimes has no live betting... unreal

[vasilli07]

Italian defence really good, closing down fast and not allowing Spain to play tiki-taka.

[olemissbydamn]

Spain looks like shit so far

[vasilli07]

Italy missed the best chance of the game so far.

[olemissbydamn]

Not getting too many better chances than the one Spain just blew

[vasilli07]

Torres misses for Spain.

[drfunkmaster]

this explains why the line went to -186

[vasilli07]

Spain with 2 shots but none on target while Italy with 9 shots 4 on target.

The question is whether it's death sentence for Italy NOT to be ahead at this time. I'm thinking it is. Maybe a hedge and say over 1.5 in the 2nd half since we need 2 from Spain anyway AND it could go to OT tied 1-1?

Over 1.5 is +120

I still say Spain wins 2-0, sticking with my original prediction.

Fernando has been average for over 3 years now.

I agree with your prediction. Italy attacked more than usual in the first half, not sitting back and just defending (got help from Spain playing sloppy, too), and I think they will come out more tired than normal. In accordance with this, I took Spain -.5 2H -120 for the same amount of my original -1.5 in case they only win by one (hedge).

[drfunkmaster]

i Have never won my last bet on a parlay.. 0/30 at least.... i knew the outcome of this game. Its either a draw or italy win. SPAIN IS NOT WINNING THIS GAME!!! i promise you this. I am an idoit thinking this curse was gonna end today. Shit italy getting shots on goal. Spain cant hit the goal. heck Italy does not even need a goaltender even... no need for one when spain cant shoot.

Yes, a hedge we can win both on. Smart play. I took the -0.5 (-110) at the half as well because while I was mulling over the 2H total (1.5), it moved to +105 from +120 and I said, "Spain is going to win this game, just stick with your guns"

Let's do this

[StackinGreen]

Classic and obvious: Iniesta must attack. Torres must be benched. Fernando has some savvy, but del Bosque's experiment has failed and he should realize it. Torres had that shot he had to convert, and he won't get another. Just not quick enough anymore.

[NavsPicks]

1-1 goes to OT?

[StackinGreen]

Yes, extra time then PKs

[drfunkmaster]

1-1 goes to OT?

Fat chance ...

[StackinGreen]

Also, I'm rooting for Spain, but did you just see that short corner? Just stupid. You go from Pirlo corner to losing the ball entirely without a cross or even hope to score.

[StackinGreen]

I say Spain gets 1 by 73' and then we sweat a bit ...
