(Par-Spain) Santa Cruz 1st goal(+650)
...A couple things stuck out to me in Paraguay's first match. (1)Their offense is one-dimensional. The announcer literally wore out the name "Roque Santa Cruz" in the first half. They kept trying to find him on the dump ins. He's tall and a dangerous scorer. He was close to tallying 2+ many times vs South Africa...(2) Paraguay tired badly in the 2nd half. But they looked very competitive in the 1st half. So maybe they can hang w/ Spain for a while(?).
Arg(-0.5) +108 vs England
...Doesn't this represent decent value? Argentines have to be considered legitimate Cup contenders after the first wave of gms. England has a few injury questions and made at least one lineup change from Gm1. Isn't Argentina in a little higher class than this young England team?
GL, guys. Any comments from the soccer vets are appreciated.
