USA vs GUATEMALA USA -1.5 ???

[Akatana]

I'm considering taking USA -1.5 although this is a friendly, USA is on a roll now there is a good quality gap and USA is just a hungry team and very motivated, any thoughts would be welcome, thanks.

[sportsguy04]

This isn't usas first team. Bunch guys getting a tryout to make the World Cup roster.

[Akatana]

So not worth it? the top players are not playing?

[olemissbydamn]

Wouldn't touch a spread in this one. Might be better to look at over under. Books favoring over and with good reason, but my gut is telling me under may be the play. Going to look into it a little more before playing anything though.

"Klinsmann also stated, and US Soccer confirmed via twitter, that the squad to take the field against Guatemala tonight will be their first team for the Gold Cup"

Landon Donovan should play tonight. Either way Guatemala has been terrible, they couldn't even beat Belize. I think it is going to be over 2.5, but I will not bet until I see the actual roster when the game starts. If Carlos Ruiz plays consider atleast one goal from Guatemala.

Thanks for info guys. I'm a donk so I'll take -1.5 with the confirmation of a first team playing

[Akatana]

I see a 3-1 or 3-0 roughly even 2-0 by speculation taking my chances with USA

[olemissbydamn]

I could definitely see 2-0. Remember though this is not the actual first team it's the first team of those who want to be on the roster for the WC. I'll look at a lineup and make a call on it for myself.

I foresee this coming.

It wouldn't necessarily be a confirmation of the 'first' team playing but more so what will be the first squad for this tournament. After 5 games in about a month with 3 being qualifiers I'm led to believe there will be a lot of different faces on this team. With that being said they still have more talent, Donovan coming into form and looking to prove his worth for September and beyond.

Ruiz retired from the national team I'm pretty sure

[jontebond]

USA will win, but having a hard time with how much....

Agreed

[sportsguy04]

USA should still win by 2+ goals even with this not being their normal starting lineup. These guys are trying to impress Klinsman by making the world cup roster next summer. Plus Landon Donovan is back in the lineup here as he should do work on this poor guatemala team.

USA -.5/-1 -118 1st half

USA -.5/-1 -118 1st half

Sloppy game so far, not sure how much longer I'll be watching. Might as well wait until Tuesday when there is some meaning.

[JT OZ]

Typically when I make a statement like that something to the opposite happens...

[swordsandtequila]

Half win, I'll take it

[DarkNite]

USA! USA1 USA!
Thank god, I see one goal. They might keep that goal until finish, who knows.

Well thank you for that statement lol

[DarkNite]

Well, now I feel better with 4-0 and 10+min to go.

[olemissbydamn]

Glad I didn't bet off any of my hunches didn't see that coming

[Akatana]

Sweet! Thank you USA
