Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010

Selection	Salt Lake DNB (Asian Handicap)
Strength	10/10
Date	09/07/2010
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.97 (Back)
Reasoning	Real Salt Lake is unbeaten in their last nine games, and seven of those were won. On the last game they smashed New England Revolution by 5-0! They also have the best MLS attack with 27 gosla scored in 14 games they played. And their defense is also brilliant without conceding goals on four games. They have good players, play good football with lots of possession and they are a very confident team. Chicago Fire is very irregular team and they have a lack of consistency to defeat a team like Real Salt Lake. I just can't see the visitors loosing this game.

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 Kansas City Wizards - CD Chivas USA 1 @ 2.00 kansas city is a very good team. doing a good defender. There are influential players in the goal path. will win for me today is difficult. Displacement of the team is not already.

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010

Event	New England - Los Angeles
Selection	Los Angeles
Strength	10/10
Date	11/07/2010
Bookmaker/Price	Betfair @ 2.00 (Back)
Reasoning	On their last eleven games, New England Revolution only could win one, while Los ANgeles Galaxy on the fifteen games they played so far only lost one. This shows which kind of game we will have tonight. Despite MLS being a tricky league, everything indicates that the visitors are favorite to win. New England Revolution is coming from a awful defeat at Salt Lake, where they lost by 5-0! And today they will face a top team like Los Angeles, so i think they couldn't had a worst game to try their recover. Last weekend Los Angeles defeated Seattle by 3-1 and i don't think they will be stop tonight.

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 Philadelphia Union vs. San Jose Earthquakes The great thing about the MLS is that the Americans are stat crazy. It's not usually that difficult to find some nugget of info that you can use to convince yourself that your pick is sound. Anyway I think the Union are in with a decent chance of victory tonight - 11 points from 12 games might suggest otherwise, but they've been on the road more often than the Littlest Hobo recently, only three of the twelve games have been at their home ground where they haven't lost (2W 1D). San Jose meanwhile seem to be on a bit of down slope. After a great start to the season they seem to have hit the buffers and haven't won in five. Team news that I've managed to find is that Nakazawa is out for the Union and Andre Luiz and Beitashour are missing for San Jose. None of the three seem to have had much game time recently though, so it's debatable whether any of them will be missed. One guy to maybe watch out for though is Roger Torres, don't think he will be starting but was quite impressed with him when I saw him earlier in the season. Anyway backing Philadelphia at 2.24

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 Anybody know for definite if Donovan is playing for LA tonight? All I can find is that he "potentially" might be rested. Guess I might have to wait till closer to kick-off to find out.

[Leadbelly]

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 Got to be very quick as the match is about to kick off. Donovan doesn't play, not even on the bench. Yeah NE Revs have been playng awful, especially a 5-0 drubbing in the last game - can see them going defensive and LA struggling to break them down. Had more to say, but no time. Unders 1.5 at 3.45

One of those annoying games where Philly dominated and had many more chances but Busch had a great game in nets for the Earthquakes and they were made to pay for their profligacy with two sucker punch goals from the three or four attacks that San Jose managed. (Roger Torres was at fault for the second :lol). Another day it might have been a big win for Philly, but overall I would say that they were quite "naive" - maybe something to bear in mind for their future games.

Got to be very quick as the match is about to kick off. Donovan doesn't play, not even on the bench. Yeah NE Revs have been playng awful, especially a 5-0 drubbing in the last game - can see them going defensive and LA struggling to break them down. Had more to say, but no time. Unders 1.5 at 3.45

Well I was right about LA struggling to break the Revs down, but like many I didn't see NE scoring two goals. Big surprise considering LA had only conceded one on the road so far this season. The lesson to learn from this is not to be too greedy.

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 any info on Seattle vs Dallas game?

[Leadbelly]

Re: USA MLS July 9th-12th 2010 Seattle Sounders vs. Dallas Getting towards make or break time for Seattle if they have any aspirations to qualify for the play-offs, but they are not in good form. They did record a 2-0 victory midweek against LA in the Cup but as far as I can make out both sides were playing mainly reserves and back up players, whereas in the league they have one win in six and have conceded nine goals in the last three matches. Injuries have played a part in this slump and although some of them have returned or are close to returning, they'll still be without Evans and Hurtado and both Ljungberg and Alonso are "questionable". Dallas seem to be in a much better situation. Only two defeats all season (to LA and NY - two of the better MLS sides) and on a current winning streak of three which should mean that they're full of confidence. No real injury probelms either for Dallas, the only absence that I can find is the back-up keeper Sala. Anyway going for Dallas +0.25 AH at 2.03

Half a win with the score finishing 1-1 :ok Didn't see the game, but it looks like the sending off for Seattle was the turning point of the match. Just looking at the stats - the attendance was over 36000! Bit of a surprise to me. I'd always had the impression most attendances in the MLS were in the 10-20k range, but to get that number maybe shows the league is progressing in the right direction.
