Spanky -- any bets you like either way?
3 way, i've roughly seen Ger -175, Draw +220, USA +500
2 -way I've roughly seen Ger -360, USA +280.
That's a lot to lay on the germans. The -175 is somewhat attractive I suppose, but the american squad is real tough to figure out.
The germans have had a good world cup, but they haven't faced much competition and they didn't have a very good time qualifying either (recall the 5-1 loss to England).
In WC, they played lowly saudi arabia, tied the irish and got by cameroon, not exactly powerhouses. They drew Paraguay in the round of 16, beat them by 1, but paraguay came out of a weak group with where they tied south africa, beat slovenia and got spanked by spain.
I think US has definitely had tougher competition this tournament. I don't see a german spanking of the yanks, though I do think maybe the joy ride is over for us.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is a bet on the germans is not looking too good to me, especially at those prices.
