I'm by no means a soccer guru, but a couple of things caught my eye...
1. Argentina vs. Brazil (who will go farther): -110 each way
I was under the impression that Argentina was a much better squad than Brazil. Is there a big roadblock in the draw for Argentina? If not, I will hit this one pretty hard.
2. Portugal player scores hat trick in WC 2002? No at -225
Granted USA and Korea are not great, still that seems like a pretty good deal as hat tricks are rare in soccer. Unless that means 'for the tournament'? Otherwise I will be betting this one.
3. Goal in first 3 minutes of any game: Yes -240, No +200
Any ideas on this one? No idea how often it happens, but you do get 63 shots at it.
4. To not qualify for Round 2
England +125
Ireland -113
Japan +110 (!)
Unfortunately there is no line for the USA, else I would pound it. Can't see them making it with two decent teams and host Korea in the group. I look to fade USA thrice. I was also told that England is in trouble as far as qualifying... figure around 50% so +125 should be an overlay? Similarly for Ireland and Japan... yes Japan are hosting but are they any good?
5. To qualify for Round 2
Uruguay +110
Mexico +175
I was under the impression that both these squads should have not too much trouble going through.
Thanks for any advice. I am also considering fading Brazil at -733 not to win the whole thing, but dislike having that much at risk. However if they are as disorganized and thuggish as reported, I cannot see them even making the final.
