Guest Placewood Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I'll definetely go for Mexico vs. Bulgaria. Bulgaria will be using a pretty bad team so I think my 1.75 @ Mexico will be a smart pick:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Location, Location, Location Placewood, You should be careful of this one, I assume you are betting on this based on Mexico's excellent home record. Mexico city is at a very high altitude, away teams are always at a major disadvantage due to the lower oxygen levels. This game, however, is being played in New York, which takes that advantage away, add to that the lowish crowd, and you can forget any home advantage. If you've already taken all this into account, and still like the bet, then ignore this, if not you might want to reconsider the bet. Good luck whatever you decide.

Guest Justin O Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Lowish crowd? Lowish crowd?? Hmmm....you're obviously not taking into account just how many Mexicans and Mexican Americans are in the NYC area. Actually there should be a fairly substantial Bulgarian contingent as well, but for the most part the very large raucous crowd will be very pro Mexican. Having said that, Mexico played in front of a similiar crowd of 40,000+ in Denver vs the US and played like crap, losing 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
