Overall 36-38 +0.65 units
Favs 23-10 +6.85 units
Dogs 6-19 -5.49 units
Draws 0-7 -4.45 units
Totals 7-2 +3.74 units

US reliance on set pieces and on Jozy in open play work a lot better in CONCACAF. Davies and Dempsey both provide the US with options in the field and they're still out. Gooch has hidden Bocanegra throughout qualifying.

374 Holland (Friendly) -214* vs USA (Friendly) to win 1 unit


New Zealand's lack of class was noticeable in the Confed Cup (0 goals versus 7) and the only player in a major league is out. Mexico's bringing a strong squad and always has something to prove on the int'l stage.

400 Mexico (Friendly) -446* vs New Zealand (Friendly) to win 1 unit

I agree with the Mexico and Holland picks - but if you havent placed the Mexico bet yet, you might want to shop around. I took it at -350 (parlayed with Brazil and Holland yesterday morning) and I still see it at -365. No way they dont take care of business in LA.

Taking Holland at -1 on its own. As for Italy Cameroon, I think the bet that appeals to me is the O2. Italy looks set to send out an experimental 3-4-3. Alot of real quality up front fighting for a spot on the WC roster and Cameroon has no problem scoring - or conceding. No idea on the side.

My other picks are:
Arg-Ger O2.5
France Pk
Serbia ML.

Flapjack - Got an early line and was surprised it didn't go up.

Interested in your take on the Italians - haven't been impressed with them in a year and think that there's a lot of opportunity to play against them. They got a real nice group for the World Cup, but I can't see them dominating anyone outside of N. Zealand and then, I see they've got the #4 FIFA ranking (not that the ratings are everything) :shrug: I think I'm missing something
