WORLD CUP: USA (-130) to advance out of group stage

[SamsNCharge99]

Those odds are fukking great IMO. And even better USA is +570 against England.

I am def taking USA Draw and Win against England and hammering USA to advance.

USA is very good team, not saying a top 5 team, but easily better than Slovenia and Algeria and should easily advance.

1 win and 1 tie will advance them and if they can get a decision vs England in 1st game, no way they don't advance

Only thing that would hurt them would be a 3-0 loss to England b/c of GD, but other than that I see easy road for USA to advance to Quarters.

Hammer USA at -130 to advance baby

DO WORK
and
KROW OD

[spartangreen]

i like USA to advance, but have to go with England in that match.

[infamousbacardi]

No question...USA to beat England, means they'd have to have an o.g. allowed by England, and maybe a shoddy PK. USA, as an American, isn't a very good soccer country currently...they may be improving, but I think even saying they are "better than Algeria and Slovenia"...may be a stretch a little. Perhaps even...have to be careful with U.S. goggles on.

[smitch124]

Sammy how many Slovenian and Algerian matches have you seen?

[Kemalettin]

lol sammy great post im watching world cup since 9 yo (france 98) have you seen 2002? Turkey games? Korea made fourth and Turkey 3rd..Senegal beat France in opening match.
you better should more soccer dude..Slovenia gonna destroy U.S

[spartangreen]

Slovenia won't destroy the US, but i like the over in that match.

[Shark79]

USA doesnt have it easy.

A loss and push may take em out of WC.

[cyclonebell]

US will beat Slovenia, no question about it. Having Charlie D back is a huge boost.

[SamsNCharge99]

Sammy how many Slovenian and Algerian matches have you seen?

0

if I haven't heard of them, they aren't good....lol

[SamsNCharge99]

or it's the fact, that I'm a homer for USA and want them to beat those teams, so I say they will

[TurkzZ]

i like the play

[kmarinouofm]

honestly i hate agreeing with sammy but i agree with this play too..

I know i told Kara when these lines first came out that USA +1.5 is a lock against England.. now u can't find that line without playing a soccer book and paying good juice..

if anyone else knows where they can get USA +1.5 at a good price let me know i hit it already for the max at phoenix a month or two ago

[DrStale]

Nobody defines



More than Sammy.

[Kemalettin]

do not underestimate slovenia

[Socrates]

I don't know. I would stay out of it. You should look up the stats for teams that fail to advance after losing game 1. It's an insane stat, can't remember where I saw it though.

If the U.S. loses against England then all bets are off, mainly because I think Slovenia (who will bunker and counter against England) will tie England. Europeans play Europeans a lot tougher and know each other a lot better.

[JayTrotter]

u guys are forgetting that England sucks.. hahahahaha

Slovenia and USA advance!

now that is a homer pick...

[JayTrotter]

don't forget the Americans are 1-0 all time versus England in world cup competition.. and England loves to find ways to make their country miserable.. England loses 2 games, and does not advance.. hahaha. I wonder what odds I would get on that..

[suckerforparlays]

+570 against England my god thats worth a bet either way lol

[acarmelo1]

England wins againts USA, but USA will win the other 2 games or win 1 and tie the other one.

[zlate22]

slovenia have good team think they go in neht round

[rfr3sh]

England + Slovenia to advance

[Sanka]

do not underestimate slovenia

Not a lot of high profile names in the squad, but they're very hard to beat, not to mention with an excellent goalie in Handanovic.

England & Slovenia to advance here.

[gryfyn1]

u guys are forgetting that England sucks.. hahahahaha

Slovenia and USA advance!

now that is a homer pick...

ha, then you may wanna jump on the Slovenia +20,000 line

[Art Vandelay]

I think they get a point vs. England, which almost guarantees they advance. Love the -130 price!

[rfr3sh]

USA will have to do something special to get a point from england, where will this come from?
Ching ? doubt it ? Atlidore maybe on a good day, Donovan prob will be shut down by ashley cole or glen johnson depending on the side he plays on

You must watch this movie before the USA - England game; USA's players should watch it too. It's a pretty good movie, appropriate to the situation: "Based on a true story, this film tells the tale of the 1950 US soccer team who, against all odds, beat England 1 - 0 in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil."

Ching? Was that a joke? He is out with a hamstring injury and camp opens in two weeks. He has an outside shot (less than 10%) at making the team, but I don't think any American fan expects anything special from Ching besides an awkward Hawaiian accent. Up top, USA is searching for a new player to fill in for all the injuries: Herculez Gomez (leading scorer in the Mexican top division) and Edson Buddle (7 goals in 5 games in MLS) are the two likely filling the void.

And I would say last time Donovan went against Cole, he did really well. And I do fancy Dempsey's chances against Johnson, if those are the match ups.

Capello is a better coach than Bradley (USA's coach), which is why England has the advantage in the opening game, but this American team works hard and doesn't give up anything easily. As long as US doesn't pick up a red card in the first game, they will be in good shape to advance regardless if they pick up a point or not.

[pouroupoupou]

England 3 easy wins. I can't pick who will be second. They have equal chances imo

I don't know that the US game will be easy but I don't see them losing any either.

[phenomenon]

European football is much better than Asian,American,African ... why try to make fantasy ? why don t u believe this truth ? More discpline is curicial factor with determination on these tournaments.. slovenia has it.
England and Sloveina will advance...

[Sawyer]

Liked Under 2½ for USA vs England game.

[michalis]

I think you guys are underestimating your own team, USA is a decent soccer team and have been improving over the years, USA can easily advance and can definately steal points from england on a good day

what i think usa should do is send more american players to europe to get experience and use those in their squads

or try to lure european players to usa to make the mls more competitive and able to produce even better soccer players

although IMO I think the mls has a very good level and is improving, which is why the usa soccer team is improving

[Tommy_de1st]

No doubt England get through to the next round.
Algeria got to the semifinals in African National Cup on January after beating Ivory Coast 3-2 and losing to Egypt in semis. I dont think they will shine in WC thou.
The fight for the second place in that group will be between USA and Slovenia. Slovenia are debutants but we need to give em credit for taking the second place in their group (6 wins, 2 draws and 2 loses) and beating strong Russia team in the plpay-offs.
Hard to predict at the moment.

[Sanka]

Slovenia played in the 2002 WC, although they didn't make much of an impact then. Lost all three first round matches (against Spain, S. Africa & Paraguay).

[Tommy_de1st]

Oh, youre right
Now its time for improvments then, we'll see
