sportxtipster Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June Mexico offered great football, they had numerous chances against El Salvador and won 5-0. They won 3-0 against New Zeeland, so they are on a nice trend. Cuba lost against Cost Rica 0-5 and they have played really poor. They will face a much mor ein form team that attacks in numbers.

sportxtipster Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June Cost Rica won 5-0 against CUba while El Salvador lost to Mexico 0-5. Should be plenty of goals here, right? I have seriuous doubts and I doubt that Cost Rica will win here with a huge difference. Last win for COasta Rica with mor ethan 2 goals was 6 games ago, in 2008. El Salvador won 2 games against COsta Rica since then. The draw 2-2 with Honduras is saying to me that this is not a very weak team and I think if they will lose the game will be in tha margin imposed here. Cost Rica vs El Salvador pick away +2 AH @ odds 1.75 with >bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheImp Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June Cuba v Mexico Cuba AH +2.5, +3.0 @ 2.18 I know Mexico are heavy favourites here but with such a big handicap at these odds, I feel it has to be taken. I know you can't really compare but the likes of San Marino, Faroe Islands etc this week with even longer odds for the win than Cuba in this game have managed results with a win and only losing by a couple of goals. I think that sure Mexico are a decent side who can score lots of goals against poor sides but as has been mentioned I don't feel that Cuba have really had a chance to play against sides like this recently in a proper cup competition. Who knows? I'm still expecting a Mexico win but I feel that a handicap like this could quite easily happen with Mexico needing a three goal cushion for it to lose. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left4Dead Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June Costa Rica v El Salvador I put this bet on earlier this morning, the odds having drifted ever so slightly since then. The two team were on opposite ends of 5-0 results in their first games, Costa Rica beating Cuba, while El Salvador were beaten by Mexico. Costa Rica were helped by a very attacking display from the Cubans, which left their backline overly exposed, helping produce a score which possibly flattered the Costa Ricans somewhat. El Salvador will take heart from the fact that Cuba produced a couple of decent opportunities themselves against a somewhat inexperienced defence at International level. Conversely, El Salvador will look to a horror four minute period early in the second half against the best team in CONCACAF which ruined their night. Both teams had had chances prior to that, Mexico admittedly the better ones, but El Salvador had threatened and had kept the Mexican attack out for almost an hour. El Salvador will be facing a Costa Rican team that are no where near as good as Mexico, while Costa Rica will be facing a team that won't allow them as much space in midfield or attack as Cuba. El Salvador had beaten Costa Rica in their last two competitive meetings, though I wouldn't expect them to do it this time. However, I do feel this will be a tighter game than the odds suggest and am more than happy to take El Salvador with a +1.5 goal handicap. Costa Rica may win, but I'm hoping it won't be by any more than one goal. El Salvador AH(+1.5) @ 2.14 (Ladbrokes) - 2/10 while I'm also topping up slightly as I believe the odds are even better value now. El Salvador AH(+1.5) @ 2.31 (10Bet) - 1/10 Well Said , I agree with that and hope you win you play . I'm going in myself ... :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitaks Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June I watched the match of Mexico against El Salvador and i was impressed with the second half performance by Mexico. They simply run over their opponents and since the first goal came in the question was by how many will Mexico win. Now i think that the case will be pretty much the same, as i watched the last minutes of Cuba against Costa Rica and what i saw was pretty bad tactics by Cuba and the players didn't seem ready for this kind of competition. Cuba played on Offside Trap which is the best possible way for Chicarito Hernandez to score goals and i think that in this match Mexico will win with at 6 goals. GL!

Apparently it's something in the food over there, to do with some problems the whole country's having with food, and doesn't seem as dramatic as the Beeb's report.

chuck1160 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: 5-25 June Jamaica vs Guatemala = Guatemala +2 @ 1.53 bet365 Guatemala hasn't lost a game by more than 2 goals in their last 14 games. Their 3 most recent results are two draws and one defeat 0-2 to Venezuela. They are coming from a good result, a 0-0 with Honduras away. Meanwhile Jamaica have only played 3 games so far this year. Also losing 0-2 to Venezuela and winning 3-2 vs El Salvador and most recently beating Grenada 4-0. 4-0 is a excellent result, but how good are Grenada? They recently lost 2-0 to Panama and also lost against Saint Kits and Nevis and drew with Antigua and Barbuda in their most recent matches. In Jamaica's last 20 games they had only managed to win by more than two goals once prior to their 4-0 over Grenada and it was against Cayman islands. I think Guatemala +2 at those odds is very nice. I think the result will be very tight and could actually end in a draw. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
