I knew the US coach had no guts. She goes back to the original starting line up which I do not love. Seeing the same line movement as in the Spain game. Got close to -300 and now all the way down to -225. See a similar result.

I agree, a horrible first half. Picked it up some at the end, but they are getting out coached at the moment. Dutch made some adjustments to their play and the US did not adjust. I have no faith in Ellis making the changes she should at the half. She will wait as she will be worried about going to extra time. I still think the US will win, but no way I see this going over. Should have never added it, but because I did, I will play:
Ov 1.5 +110 SH
Only playing because I have the Over so I would only play if you have that exposure. This game could easily be 1-0. They need an early goal to force the Dutch to open up. At lease hope for some better play.

Glad to see my eyes are not deceiving me. Not a soccer gura like you and Kid but just not impressed with this match or the quality of play in the tournament. Hope second half picks up
Yeah, the Dutch changed tactics which was a smart move but it also slowed the game. Now that the US scored should be a better last 30 minutes. US just needs to keep pushing forward and not get too defensive.
Yup, just really bad finishing and lack of focus. Should have scored at least 4 in the second half.
Oh well, second half bet saved the Over play and hit big with the USA and still have the parlay alive tonight. I hated betting that much on a womens game, and even though the game went nothing like I thought, the end result was as expected.
Happy this tournament is over. Sick of the Rapinoe hype and hearing about what a great tournament it was. Never seen a tournament like this. VAR completely dominated and stained the entire opening matches and then completely disappeared. At least they recognized what a disaster it was but it made for a very uneven tournament. My sense is a few teams in Europe have definitely improved but the overall quality of play is still not that great. The USA/England game was the only game with great speed and quality of play. By far the best game I saw.
It is extremely hard for me to believe that they are considering adding 8 teams to this world cup. All that will do is add at least 6 teams that have no business being in the tournament and create more 7+ to nil games.
In the end, still a great job by the US to go through the European gauntlet and deliver the Cup. Never have a problem with being confident when you can back it up.
Let see what the men have tonight!

The US men had great chances to start the game but could not take advantage of them. In the end, Mexico wore the US out and was the better team. Some quick observations. I still think Berhalter is way out of his league. His substitutions were very questionable and bringing in Lovitz at the end was downright stupid. He was not qualified to coach this team to start with and nothing he has done has changed my mind. Bradley was terrible defensively last night. His lack of speed is glaring and he should be done as he is not the future of this team. From the beginning I said Jordan Morris made a terrible mistake not going to Europe when he could. Instead of opting to grow and improve his game he decided to stay home and go to the MLS where he has not developed at all. He is not even close to a world class player and Berhalter needs to pay attention to the younger players that have potential. Forget about Zardes. He should not have even been on this team, is not the future and the team would have been better off with Josh Sargeant. I mostly liked what I saw from Tyler Boyd even though he struggled in some spots, but he certainly should have been the last substitution last night.
Overall this tournament only proved that Pulisic and McKennie (even though he did not play well last night) are the future of this team along with many players who were not there. They did not beat anyone in this tournament and lost to a Mexican team not even close to full strength. The US has some great young players as evidenced by the play of the U teams, but US Soccer has to wake up and start moving these players up instead of rewarding mediocrity with the MLS players. I can always hope, but Berhalter will do whatever US Soccer wants him to do which is exactly why they hired him versus an experience international manager. This will be a key year in Europe to watch the development of many of the young players, especially in Germany.

I think The New Saints once again blew their chances to advance out of the early rounds after blowing a 2-0 lead at home. The two away goals are a killer and these Kosovo teams are better than most think.
Feronikeli +126/Pk-140
I will probably split up my exposure on this one, but I think we see a 2-1 home win.

I?m with you on Berhalter and never got the hire from the get go. Who cares if you lose 2-0 go for 1-1 why are you bringing on backs late down 1..
Pulisic is a stud and as ice said he?s the best tactically I?ve seen , granted I?m younger but his skill is unreal

I have been around a lot longer and I do not disagree. Pulisic may already be the US player ever. He definitely will be if he keeps playing like he has.
Kosovo line is getting hit already.
I am also taking a shot with Chivas tomorrow night at +216 against Fiorentina. They just finished their season and should be in much better form. Worth a shot to me at that price.

Africa Cup Final
Tough game to bet, but I am biting on the FH draw at -130. Almost never see a number like that.
Taking the Ov3.5 in the LA MLS Derby. Should be plenty of goals in this one. I need it to finish off a nice parlay.

Thanks TT, was a very nice one for me, so I will play around a little today. Nothing big, just a couple that caught my eye.
Chivas +2 - yes, I am going back with them. They could have easily drew Fiorentina as they missed a penalty. I really have no idea why Benfica is such a large favorite. This is their first game and their history in this tournament is not good at all. Maybe I am missing something, but I do not see them winning by 3 goals.
Paris -2 - Big doings in Germany today as my Nuremberg boys have their first game against Paris in a friendly. May want to check lineups before placing this one, but I do not see how Nuremberg can keep PSG off the board. They gave up 4 to Basel which is the best team that have played so far. Paris just beat Dresden, also a Bundesliga 2 team, 6-1. Will be very surprised if this is not at least a push, but if Paris comes to play it should be 4 or 5 to nil.
Philly Ov 3 - Despite my general disdain for the MLS, I have actually been making some money in the league, especially with overs. I am also noticing a lot of short prices on the better teams in this league. Philly is only -105 at home against a bad Fire team, but Philly has been struggling also. The one thing both teams do well is give up goals so I like the over.
If the Philly play hits I will roll some of it into San Jose later on simply because Vancouver sucks.

Champion's League
There are a couple of very interesting match ups tomorrow for this early in the competition:
PSV/Basel Ov 2.5 - Tough draw for each of these teams so early. PSV made it to the group stages LY and faired well at home against Barca, Spurs and Inter. They scored in 5 of those 6 games (all three at home) and know they have to take this game at home to advance. Was a little surprised to see this at 2.5 as I see at least a 2-1 game and would also play BTTS at a decent number.
Pilzen PK/Olympiakos - Another very tough match up for this round. Pilsen also made the group stages last year and faired well at home against the likes of Roma and Moscow. I think they also know a home win is a must as it will be tough to win in Greece against a team that has been out of CL for a couple of years. I like them at home in a Pk and would also consider BTTS once I see a number.
Putting the Over and the Pk in now as I like the numbers and could see both of them moving against us.
I added the Over 2.5 in the Red Star Belgrade game on Wednesday as I was putting the above in. I was very surprised to see it at 2.5. It was juicy at -150, but there will be goals in that game and I doubt the 2.5 lasts very long.

Appears to be good value here ,
PSV Eindhoven win and Yes (+275) BTTS
PSV Eindhoven vs FC Basel

I have a few concerns about PSV since they lost a few players and the first games this early are always a concern, but they are at home and there is value in this line as I do think both teams will score. Basel is probably the better team, but PSV is very hard to beat at home. I would take a shot at it and I would likely back it up with the Over.
The line for the PSV total moved at my book to 3.5 after I already bet over 2.5(-130) parlayed with some baseball last night and so I am going for the middle and took under 3.5(-170) and 1st half under 1.5 parlayed in a couple parlays with baseball tonight and will root for a 2-1 game. Thanks for sharing your plays.:00hour
