I bet on the Nigeria/ Iran under. A clear Degen bet. Teams like these cant score 3 goals. They cant even avoid civil war.

The germany-portugal match couldn't have gone better for the USA. Portugal at a -4 goal differential, now without their best defender, with two more of their top players injured

USA pulls out a win tonight and they are in great shape to advance. A draw still gives us a shot. A loss would be disastrous.

There can be ties in Group Play which brings up an interesting point....We haven't had any ties yet which is surprising considering we in Day 5 of the World Cup.

That begs the next question........Who will get the first tie?...........Obviously, Switzerland game yesterday was really close to being a tie until they scored extremely late in the match.

A draw is not a push in soccer on ML bets?

That is correct.

From 5dimes:

Soccer events include three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a Draw. When wagering on the moneyline with three options, you must have the selected option be correct for your wager to be a winner. If you select Team B and the event ends in a Draw, your selection on Team B is a loser. In essence, selections on a specific team in three-option wagering, is the same as having that team -½ a goal.

Example:

the Greek has Ghana +126, USA +200' draw +228. By taking either side, you still lose on a draw.

there are books that offer a conventional 2 way line. In this case, Ghana is -154 with USA + 119. This bet a draw is a push.
