Spain-1,5 and over 2,5

Spain is the best team in the world right now. They have good passing game in small areas and they used one touch passes with accuracy. The duo up front Torres-Villa scored 6 goals in 8 totally.
The U.S. team did some incredible plays against Egypt and the result was fair and unbelievable too.

Today Spain is the big favorite. When they have to play teams that don't care to defend only, usually their games ending over 2,5 goals.
Americans try to score more goals than they receive and they will play the same offensive game.

I think Spain -1,5 and over 2,5 goals are good choices.

Go Serbia com'n

It’s a must win situation for Serbia if they want to qualify at the semifinals.

The experienced midfielders of Serbian’s squad they have to prove their talent and finally to score their first goal on the tournament.

Swedish team is very athletic and will play to avoid the loss. The duo up front with Toivonen and Berg it is a good combination and if they find the chance they can score.

I think the Serbians are more talented and they handle the situation, under pressure.

Equador and Chile, Mexico parlay

Argentina facing once again opposite team that used to play at altitude of 2.800 m. Last time Argentineans crashed 6-1 at Bolivia’s altitude. Coach Maradona intends to hold on the bench his superstar player Lionel Messi, to avoid possibly yellow card that will be the second and he will miss the next game against Brazil on September.

Ecuador fight for the fifth place on the table that gives the opportunity to qualify at the finals of 2010 in South Africa, at knock out games home and home versus CONCACAF fourth team of the stands. Tonight returns two starting defenders and two starting offensive players.
Odds at 2.25 on Ecuador at DNB are very generous.

Also I have two teams parlay with Chile and Mexico.
Chile with win is with one foot at South Africa and Bolivia is one of the weakest teams of the group.
Mexico wants to bounce back from the stunning lose to Salvador and the Soca Boys of T&T are the right team at the right time.
Chile-Bolivia 1,25
Mexico-T&T 1,25

Saturday's picks.

Some comments for upcoming schedule.

Argentina-Columbia is a home win. Coach Diego Maradona named the starting 11 included Messi, Aguero, Teves and a very attacking team. They want to bounce back after the crash in Bolivia’s altitude and to extend the gap from today’s opponent.
Columbia is very inconsistence team and they have to play extremely well if they want to take something.

Chile is in good mood and tonight they will try to take advantage the huge absentees of Paraguay. The two strikers Santa Cruz and Cabanas are the most important and the Chileans have good chances here.

The U.S. team needs all three points to take a serious advantage from Honduras and the loser of Salvador-Mexico clash. The squad is very talented and the poor performance in Costa Rica last Wednesday was big surprise.
Honduras has good team with some players participating in MLS, but the Americans are stronger and experienced.

A parley with
Argentina 1,25
U.S.A. 1,45

and a Chile +0,5 at Asian handicap at 2,25
are my choices.

Costa Rica-USA away and over2,5

This is the 4th game in this mini tournament of six teams. The three firsts of the table qualifying automatically in South Africa and the fourth will play with fifth of South America’s group, in home and home games.
The hosts are a mixed team with veterans, like Centeno and young players like goal scorer Ruiz. At home they are very strong and they have big support from the fans. The team likes to hold the ball and play with small passes and lot of movements. In the box Andy Furtado and Bryan Ruiz are good finishers. Left defender Gonzallo Segarres plays in MLS with Chicago Fire and he knows all the Americans players and played against them for 5 years now in domestic league.
At home they have 2 wins in 2 games, 1-0 versus Salvador and 2-0 versus Honduras.

U.S.A. is on the first position after 2 wins and a draw. The wins were against Mexico (2-0) and T&T (3-0), but the most impressive result was against Salvador, when they trailed 2-0 and equalized in the last 13 minutes in a 2-2 draw. The team is very experienced while many players playing ball in Europe. The domestic league (MLS) growing and give more quality players. Josy Altidore, Maurice Edu and Freddy Adu, are all products of MLS in the last three years. Landon Donovan is the best player in front and all defending line is proven players in English premier league.
U.S. team will play again on Saturday versus Honduras and will travel to South Africa for Confederation Cup, which will start at 15th of June.

For Costa Rica-U.S.A. game, I see Americans to win or not to lose. The last year’s national team has developed as a great competitor and usually overcome opponents in their region.
Also I think is over 2,5 goals because both teams will play to score goals. USA scores at least one goal in the previews games and Costa Rica has to find ways to score too.
