Well, went 1-1 with the Brazil blowing a 2 goal lead to Egypt and Italy putting a nice whipping on the USA thanks to Guiseppe Rossi, an American born Italian playing for Italy with two brilliant goals...
I didn't bet on the other first round matches which were Spain beating New Zealand 5-0 and S.Africa drawing Iraq 0-0, I needed to watch a bit and get a feel for things....
Today, I am playing both games...odds from thegreek.com
10:00 a.m. EST
Spain -2.5 (-103)-
Spain is the #1 ranked team in the world and deservedly so IMO, they are simply better by a mile in every aspect than Iraq. However, Iraq will be well organized as former USA coach Bora Multinavic is now coaching them, but even so they simply do not have the man power or ability to keep Spain from blowing them out of the water...I look for goals early and often in this one and expect a 3-4 goal win for spain...
2:30 p.m. EST
New Zealand +1.5 (-101)-
New Zealand is fresh of a 5-0 beatdown from Spain and the S. Africans have to be disappointed by a 0-0 draw with Iraq in front of their home fans in the opening match of this tournament. However, I don't think New Zealand is as bad as Spain is good and they played Italy tough right before this tournament started. I don't expect them to win, but they can lose by 1 and you cash this ticket. Besides, S. Africa showed me nothing against Iraq and really don't have many offensive threats...I like this game to be a draw or a one goal match either way...
Tomorrow's games are Italy vs. Egypt and Brazil vs. USA
early leans are Italy -1 and USA +1.5, but i will have write ups and plays tomorrow...good luck everyone...
