Korea beats Togo 2-1 to start the Soccer Tuesday
The sportsbooks took a bath on this game, with the Favorites, Korea winning 2-1 against a feisty Togo team. Everyone was on Korea, as Togo moved a full 100 points from opening line to kick off. There was money bet on the Under in this game, allowing the sportsbooks to get a little back. On a whole, this was not a good game for the bookies.
France and Switzerland play to a 0-0 Draw
Boring, boring, boring. That is how to describe the France opener Tuesday. With all the money coming in on France, the Bookies made out like Bandits on the side and lost a small amount on the Under. 4 goal posts and crossbars were hit, but close doesn?t count in soccer and like the last 2 times these teams played each other, it was a boring draw.
Brazil beat Croatia 1-0 in a Real Exciting Game
The fans loved this game, the TV network loved this game and Brazil loved this game, but the sportsbooks were not at all happy. Even with Brazil as huge -300 chalk, the public were all over this team and the sportsbooks got smoked on this game. This was a classic soccer game and one of the most exciting of the World Cup tournament. Both teams had tons of chances and there was no reason Croatia could not have tied this game up in the 2nd half.
Who to Play for Wednesday?s Games
Wednesday will see the conclusion of group first phase matches. The unpredictable Spain take on Ukraine who will have the new Chelsea mega bucks signing Shevchenko leading their attack, and Tunisia (first team to be backed when lines went up at evens) play Saudi Arabia in match 2 of group h.
Spain -110 vs Ukraine +300
Spain, the perennial under achievers starts their Tournament Wed against Ukraine. This team is loaded with talent: Raul, Casillas, Cesc and Reyes and I expect them to score. Their opponents, the Ukraine were the 1st team, aside from the Hosts to qualify and only lost 1 game during qualification, a 1-0 anomaly to Turkey. Ukraine will live and die on Shevchenko, the team?s all time leading scorer and one of the most exciting strikers in the world. Spain and Ukraine have played each other twice, both times in 2004, with Spain winning at home 2-1 and drawing the Ukraine 2-2 on the road. I expect Spain to win this game by 1 goal, with my final pre 2-1. I like the -110 offered by BetWWTS and I really like the over in this game.
Tunisia -120 vs Saudi Arabia +333
Like the Toga vs Korea, game on Tuesday, I am not very familiar with these teams. After speaking to our bookmaker, the money is coming in on Tunisia, although this is a stay away game for the public.
Germany -200 vs Poland +600
The third match kicks off phase 2 with the host nation Germany taking on bitter rivals Poland in what should be a feisty affair , Poland can only improve after a shocking performance against Ecuador in their first match, and could well get something from this game. Want a shocker, lets take the +600 BetWWTS is offering us and hope for a miracle. Poland is a much better team then they showed in the 1st game and Germany is not as good as they demonstrated. Add the fact that this is a must win game for Poland and not that important to Germany, you have the makings of an upset.
