    Spain vs. Tahiti O/U 8.5

    O 8.5 +101
    U 8.5 - 116

    Is this a joke? Del Bosque said his team would not hold back otherwise it would be disrespectful..He did say, that they plan on playing reserves ..which would be Torres, Mata, Navas, Carzola..their reserve team would probably be top 15 in the world. Nigeria missed a ton of opportunities yet they won 6-1..shouldn't this be 10+ goal win for spain? anyone else think this should be pounded and then some

    Nigeria could have been more motivated knowing that goal difference might be a factor for them progressing, where Spain won't really need to rely on GD.

    But then again, even a Spain B squad is high quality like you said. And how hard do they even have to try to get 9 goals?? They normally keep possession and do not run up the score, but this is a complete mismatch so that does not apply I feel.

    I hope Tahiti can put one in the net against Spain. Can you imagine how wild they will go

    Lol. Their reserve team is probably top-5 in the world. I am just not sure how they would feel putting up so many goals against the poor amateurs. If I knew they would be playing at full speed, I would lay half of my bank on the over for sure.

    "Del Bosque and midfielder Andres Iniesta said Spain would not hold back. They said doing so would show a lack of respect for Tahiti"

    I'm as hesitant as you lol...but I think i'm ultimately gonna go for 5 units

    absolutely agree, NGA could of scored double digits, if SPA plays on at least 50% of their capability they should hit it easily

    spain ML, lock of the millenium. $1000 to win $10.

    there's honestly no value in this game for me. I wanted the (American) books to hang anything under 7.

    ended up playing over and -8 for action. hopefully they don't let up.

    one thing i learned when it comes to soccer you do not know what to expect. i see bad teams winning or drawing against other teams all the time. yeah, i know the situation calls for -8 and over 8.5 but this is soccer. it's kind of like baseball only even more unpredictable.

    i'm not touching this one. good luck to those who have action.

    Posted in another thread: Spain -3.5/4 -135 (1st half). Bury them early then play keep away.

    Was hoping to see a Spain Team Total other than the BS 5Dimes put up for Over 3.5 @ -3000. Although I guess playing the Over for the match is the same thing in essence. Over 7.5 at -200.

    How about this one? Have to believe Spain come out and put one in pretty quick.

    Spain / Tahiti 1st goal 0-10 minutes -175

    Spain / Tahiti 1st goal 11-20 minutes +315

    Play them both to break even or make peanuts if it is 11-20 and make a decent profit if 0-10. Is there really any chance this is scoreless at the 20 minute mark?

    Why would you play the over 8.5 when you can take Spain handicap? Tahiti will not score a goal.

    I think Spain scores double digits

    It's going to be difficult for them NOT to score IMO

    Funny quote from SBnation:

    "Tahiti doesn't have a professional league and their captain lives in his mothers basement"

    went with the under, I thought it was pretty crazy to offer such a line considering they won't most likely go 100% for all 90 minutes regardless of what del bosque says, and while tahiti isn't exactly a soccer powerhouse they'll put in most of the effort in some sense
