    The worst summer soccer/futbol/football picks on SBR (DO NOT TAIL THESE!)

    Like I mentioned in my other thread, I plan to track my summer plays in a separate thread to get a closer look at how awful I am at capping this sport when the major European leagues are not in business. Most of these picks will be for MLS, J-League and the upcoming World Cup, with quality fades for other leagues (probably Norway, Sweden and Ireland) sprinkled in on occasion.

    As always, I advise you to NEVER tail my picks. If you decide to fade or follow, you do so at your own risk. Don't complain, and don't say I didn't warn you to not tail. I am not an expert, and I am simply using this thread as a form of tracking and examining my soccer capping during a time of the year when options are limited.

    This is likely to get ugly ... far uglier than my previous thread. I have been on a horrible run in soccer over the last couple of weeks. MLS can be crazy at times, I suck at capping J-League, and I don't follow the leagues in Ireland, Norway, etc. closely enough to feel that confident in any of those plays.

    Anyway, here we go ...

    J-League is one of the most unpredictable leagues,
    Brazil Serie A is another one I can name...

    Stunning result for TFC tonight. Miraculously scored two goals despite being down a man, but I'll always take the lucky breaks.

    Yeah. I kind of deserved this after lucking out with Toronto last night. More losers to come later.

    Another moronic bet that won't even come close to cashing from yours truly. I'm in great form when it comes to producing high-quality fades.

    Chapecoense must be the right team to back here if I like the opponent. Sorry if you're on Palmeiras or are a fan of the team, but they're probably taking an L today.

    If you took the over before I posted this, I apologize for ensuring that your bet will not even come close to cashing. I want to win, too, but at this point it feels like I will be lucky just to win two soccer bets in a row before I croak. Just fade my next pick to get back what you'll lose on this one.
