Thought this place would be a hive of activity talking about this game. The patriotic American posters in one corner, the Costa packet sharps in the other, with odds of -200 (1/2) on USA, the books are telling you this is no push-over.

Donbest has USA as the favorite, but I the new coach is doing the same things as last time, we(CR) got hell of a chance to win this game, so I will rule for CR this time, hopefully we will win this by one goal, or maybe two.

Ok heres the deal.

As a Costa Rican, it hurts me to say, that this team well generally sucks.... We dont have much funk, glitter or anything else at the time.....Our players are a group of punks (like the Albert Belles, Barry Bonds of your country) except without the dough....

We are also sporting a set of individuals like Centeno who are likely to get red carded any minute cause they lose their temper real quick.

Our two strikers, Wanchope and Gomez are relatively old and have lost much of their spark.....

On defense we tend to commit stupid mistakes sometimes that end up costing us at times.....

Costa Rica is one of those teams you never know who will show up...they can be very good or they can be outright bad. We dont score much, we dont give up much.

The US plays a brand of soccer that, although boring, and yes it is boring, can be effective...like a very poor mans Germany soccer team.... *accent on very*...... Before someone says, yeah but we rank number so and so in the world, yes Im aware of it, but it is in reality BS. The US is decent, much better than in previous years but far from good. The US has three things that hold up their team.

1. They are a team, have been playing together for some time under the same coach for several years.

2. They have very solid goalkeeping *Howard Keller and Friedel all play in England*

3. They have a very solid defending block.

All in all, the US has an edge over CR, specially at home but that edge is not as big as the line shows.. Yes we can win in Salt Lake but it will require a very good game from our guys.

If you find a total of 2.5, take the Under. (That would be my one pick in this game)

In qualifying games for the '06 World Cup, the US. is 4-0-1 at Home with 14 GF and 1 GA. Costa Rica is 1-1-3 on the Road with 6 GF and 5 GA. These teams haven't played for almost two years, July 26 of '03. The US. won that game 3-2 at Home.

Winbet, what happened to Ireland today? They blew a 2-0 lead to Israel and had to settle for a draw at home.:shocked:

Slim,

Thats a load of S*** . I know your game. You Costa packet sharp guys are only playing down your chances so the price goes up. Same with the under 2.5 goals, trying to get a good price the over.:movingeye

Basically, anything that could go wrong did. On Betfair they were betting Ireland 1/33 after going 2-0 up, which I thought was ridiculous. I laid some with the view the price had to go bigger, then all of a sudden, Isreal score 2, making the bet a right earner. If you do it enough it has to go your way sooner or later.

At least you made some cash off it.:cool:

Looks like they're in a pretty tough group with France and Switzerland also in there.
