Concacaf Gold Cup Betting
The football season may have end some time ago for those of us in the UK,
but thankfully for a full time soccer punter like me there is still plenty
of action a round the World to keep me busy and hopefully swell Mrs
Silverfox`s shopping allowance!
Today i am going to have a major interest in the Concacaf Gold Cup semi
final match being played in the early hours of Friday morning between the
USA and Canada.
The Concacaf region contains such teams as Mexico,Costa Rica,Trinidad and
Tobago and El Salvador, so with the greatest of respect to those teams
named not the strongest of federations as is demonstrated by the other
semi final where one of the regions giants Mexico are taking on the
surprise package of the tournament Guadelope a small island in the
Caribbean with until now no real soccer pedigree.
The US are best price 4/7 with Stan James and Skybet to beat Canada and
for me though not the tastiest of prices it is reasonable enough for me to
invest in.
The USA are the host nation of this years event and came through the group
stage with 3 wins against Guatemala,El Salvador and Trinidad and Tobago,
scoring 7 and conceding none.
Their quarter final was a tougher affair when they saw of Panama 2-1.
Canada also topped their group with a win against Costa Rica and Haiti
but they suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat in their second group game against
the boys from Guadelope.
Their quarter final was an easier affair when they beat Honduras 3-0.
There are several familiar faces from the premiership in the USA squad
such as Howard (Everton),Bocanegra and Dempsey (Fulham) and Beasley (Man
C) so they do not lack for experience or big game players.
Canada have a few useful players themselves amongst them Paul Stalteri
(Spurs), Ian Hume (Leicester) and DeGuzman (Deportivo) but i feel with the
game being played at Soldier Field,Chicago in front of their own fans the
USA will have the edge.
As opposed to the European under 21 games i am going to go for over 2.5
goals in this match at best price evens with Blue Square and also i will
be having a small investment on 2-1 USA being the correct score at 15/2
again with Blue Square.
So to Summarise:
USA to beat Canada in 90 mins.
Over 2.5 goals.
USA to win 2-1 correct score bet.
Best of luck with whatever you all decide to go for.
Silverfox.
