Jonesy Knows Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May I guess 2 v 2 against Italy or 1 v 1 against France you consider bad results? :eek ROI were unlucky not to be going to this world cup and all down to Thierry's hand! Looks like a draw to me as both teams I would say are very evenly matched. There's not much news on the ROI v Paraguay match... Does anyone know potential line ups. If both Sides are at near full strength I fancy Paraguay to get something from this match.. Looking at Laying ROI. ROI are fairly weak and failed to gain a place at the WC. Whereas Paraguay on the other hand are a Force again in South America and could be strong at this WC. Very Close to qualifying automatically losing out JUST to Argentina, Paraguay should be able to contain this mediocre ROI side, maybe even come away with a Win.. ANy thoughts?

Republic of Ireland were a Thierry Henry handball away from qualifying from the World Cup as well (although they really should let it lie now!). ;) They also drew home and away with Italy, so I wouldn't write them off as mediocre. Ireland are missing Shay Given, Kevin Kilbane, Aiden McGeady, & Richard Dunne according to the BBC. Robbie Keane, Damien Duff, John O'Shea, & Kevin Doyle are all expected to start. Can't find any news on Paraguay's line-up, but this is one I'd be tempted to swerve in all honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkiely Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May It's a full Irish side but without Given. Trepid enough affair I reckon which looks likely to go under 2.5 but the market is too short for my liking. Might be tempted to take the draw though at 9/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahno Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May Ukraine is most likely to win today. Odds are short @1.40 but could be good in acca. Ukraine's probable line-up: keeper: Goryanov defenders: Kobin,Mihalik,Chygrynskiy,Polevoj miedf.:Aliev,Gusev,Konoplyanka,Rotan strikers: Sheva,Milevskiy From what i have heard Lithuania will play with experemental squad,they will play few young lads from reserves as well. Players that will not play today: Ukraine:Voronin,Shovkovsky,Kucher,Hacharedi,Valyaev Lithuania: Dedura,Jalukas,Pilibaytis,Mykolyunas,both Chesnauskis,Shemberas,Velichka. This match will be the first match for new national team coach Markevych (also Metalist coach). Match will take place in Ukraine,Kharkiv-Metalist stadium. I expect ukraine to win today and i think Markevich will to everything tonight to win his fisrt match. I'm taking Ukraine -1AH @1.6 GL :ok 4-0 FT :ok Nice and easy :dude Sheva and Aliev with 2 goals each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkiely Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May Gonna have a bit on Nigeria in play now they've gone above evens. One game I quite like the look of is the Greece - North Korea one. I think the 5/1 on offer for the Commies looks decent value. Senegal comprehensively beat them at home last time out and having watched that game I was very disappointed with how Greece played. They were very poor in my book and they also had possibly the easiest group in qualification. North Korea are a bit of an enigma but have notched up a few impressive enough results against teams you'd expect to be much better than them. North Korea at 5/1 Under 2.5 double with the Irish game @ just under 2/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookies worst enemy Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May I like Ireland @ 8/5 but unsure whether to take the bet, due to Shay Given not being in goal. Ireland have become much more solid team under Trapattoni, he has also stated he will be putting out an experienced team tonight. Paraguay also dont travel well. But at times are a stubborn hard working team capable of grinding out results, so 1-1 an 0-0 cover bets are advised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cameron have a good chance of second in their group. Possibly depends on just how much of a difference an African-based World Cup will have on the African sides.

anacanapana Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: International Friendlies > 19th May - 26th May This from the Washington Post this AM: U.S. roster clues? Kickoff for the USA-Czech Republic friendly in East Hartford, Conn., is not until 8 p.m., which means we will not receive the official game-day roster until probably 7 p.m. at the earliest. Bob Bradley will choose as many as 23 players. With six substitutes permitted, a maximum of 17 players will see action against the Czech Republic. The very early -- and very unconfirmed, unofficial -- buzz is that several regulars will remain in street clothes. The names I hear are Jozy Altidore, Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and Carlos Bocanegra. Other veterans will be in reserve. If, in fact, those five are out and some World Cup probable starters begin on the bench, who would you like to see in the starting lineup?

By Steve Goff | May 25, 2010; 10:46 AM ET It looks as if we may rest some 1st team players, and will be giving fringe players a chance to shine for their place in the WC squad. Maybe we will line up our best side against Turkey so it seems.. I'll see if I can find some info on squad selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just back paraguay Draw no bet? 'Cause when you ''lay'' you usually, in my experience, get odds that are inbetween a Double Chance and Draw No Bet.
