888 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May Wow, there is a massive jump in AH odds for England... Is there any news that might cause this ? Searched through the net, but I found no luck. It is quite a massive jump. -1.5 AH was 1.8 and now around 1.95+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardinho Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May I can confirm that Gambias goalkeeper sucks, he can do very nice saves a la Casillas style then some minutes later he can let a shot from 70 meters in, thats his level :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probable Lineup (3-4-3): Bravo; Contreras, Jara, Fuentes; Valdivia, Carmona, Cereceda, Fierro; Tello, Sanchez, Paredes Is this starting 11, something like A team of Chile ?

Obviously Suazo, and Fernandez are the obvious missing players. But, that team selection from goal might not be 100% accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any news that might cause this ? Searched through the net, but I found no luck. It is quite a massive jump. -1.5 AH was 1.8 and now around 1.95+ I think this might be why mate.. For England, Fabio Capello makes seven changes to the side that started the 3-1 win over Mexico on Monday. In goal, David James replaces Rob Green while John Terry comes in for Ledley King at the centre of defence while Ashley Cole replaces Leighton Baines at left-back. In midfield, Tom Huddlestone and Frank Lampard will start instead of James Milner and Michael Carrick. Aaron Lennon starts on the left wing, replacing Steven Gerrard. Darren Bent comes in for Peter Crouch to partner Wayne Rooney up front. From BBC website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC22 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May my thoughts, both teams score alot of goals so was thinking both teams to score is a good bet Korea are actually pretty strong in defence, and picking games where both teams score is a hell of a lot harder than you think. Korea @ 1.80 or so would probably be a better bet. They're in great form and there's a good chance they'll continue that against an average Belarus side. Also Belarus had half their first choice eleven missing in their last match, last week, and if it's the same case today, that'll obviously only help Korea's cause.

I'd agree with you in some respects.. Our defence is certainly stronger today, but I don't personally rate Huddlestone in the midfield. Having said that I thought Carrick and Milner were crap together against Mexico, so Huddlestone and Lampard will hopefully be an improvement. My other fear is Mr Bent upfront. I'd have much more confidence with Crouchy and Rooney as they're both proven goalscorers at international level. Anyway I'm still taking England on the -1.5 AH.

samitarian Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May belarus is only missing 2-3 of their very very best players, otherwise a pretty strong team. I don't know the intentions of belarus for this game but for south korea, is experiment. all 6 subs will be used for sure, and the main area for experiment is to find the striking partner for Park Joo Young, and find the best dm.

wisey10 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May England v Japan England to win to Nil @ 1.8 Betfair England go into this game giving a few fringe players the chance to prove themselves. It looks quite an attacking line up with Lennon and Walcott on the wings and Bent-Rooney up front. However they are starting with what I believe will be the first choice back 5 and they look solid at the back. Japan aren't in great form at all and seem to be lacking confidence so I would expect England to win. However, they are experimenting and are playing at altitude so I wouldn't be amazed if this is fairly tight and England don't cover the 1.5 handicap. For this reason I will take them to win to nil @ 1.8 which will be enough here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English isn't your first language so it's understandable you misunderstood the phrase "bad losers". It doesn't mean they are bad and they lose. It means that they do not react well to defeat. It's not an insult. dude, he quite clearly insults the guy: It amazes me just how prehistoric some of the views are from people from less developed countries like this.. It feels like we are living in 2010 and these people are living in 1810 thats pretty insulting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahrio Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May Mexico -1.5 @ 2.02 (Bet365) Mexico have played well in their last two games, against England and Holland, well enough to suggest they'll win against Gambia, anyway. Regards Gambia, this is from Goal.com: ''Gambia coach Paul Put has called up over 20 players, most of whom are drawn from lower division leagues in Europe and the MLS in the USA. The squad list has not been drawn yet as the players are yet to confirm their participation in the match. Invitations have been sent to the players and once the players arrive, the squad list will be finalised. :unsure However, Abdou Darboe and Momodou Ceesay will feature against Mexico on Sunday. The 19-year-old Darboe will earn his third cap for the Scorpions while Westerlo striker Momodou Ceesay has settled his differences with coach Put after he refused to play against Angola and Tunisia. Sundsvall’s Aziz Corr Nyang also refused to play but he has not apologised and will miss out on Sunday's friendly. Pa Modou Jagne too will be absent against the Mexicans as he is suffering from a back injury.'' With every respect to Gambia, after reading that Mexico'll essentially be playing what sounds like a pub team, I'm on :lol Cheers for this one mate. Followed you and Mexico looked totally dominant for most of the game (admittedly I only watched in patches). They covered the handicap quite comfortably in the end. :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooner Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > Weekend > Thursday 27th May - Sunday 30th May Tunisia v France - France -1 H'cap @ 2/1 365 France were less than impressive against Costa Rica but a morale boosting victory anyway, I think they'll have far to much for Tunisia who have struggled recently in Friendlies. The last time the sides met France ran out 3-1 winners and I expect the French to win by at least two goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
