    Default Mexico +190

    I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this number. This Mexico squad is the most talented and youthful bunch of players that came in the last few years and they have beaten the giants of Brazil and Argentina not long time ago. The value for this bet is unquestionable even though they play in Houston, not bad weather, and these youngsters would like to make a statement tonight against their arch-rivals on the North. I rarely bet against the USA team but this is an opportunity I couldn’t pass because the MLS hasn’t started yet and the US players have no games or cohesion yet as a team.

    +190 is a number I can’t resist!

    Pavy ... yet again If Im not mistaking the last 2 games these teams have played ... US has overcome.

    1 other factor Hugo Sanchez (coach) is having probs with his squad ... and not to mention media ... which has been all over him for the past week or so.

    These 2 teams literally hate each other. Will be a good game. But I think US will yet overcome once again.

    GL!

    There are 6 premiership players in the squad (which is reflected in Mexico's price) , and about another 5 that play in European leagues. I cant see it has anything to do with the MLS.

    Tim Howard is a good keeper.

    Also very true ... forgot to mention that

    Fulham has Keller - Carlos Boca Negra - Clint Dempsey - Eddie Johnson and Brian McBride.

    Everton has Tim Howard

    This is a friendly game. This is not the World Cup final!

    The +190 odds offer value because the US team will probably not play that many starters for extended periods. The Mexico team players actually travelled much less than the US players for this game.

    Its against Mexico ... its a rivalry .... also ... its the team that they will have to compete under CONCACAF for 1st place.

    There is no Friendly Match here.

    you do realize mexico is actually +260 at betfair and up to +250 at several books? you should be able to get a better line than +190 in any case.

    I don't think betfair is open for US customers but let my friends around the globe know. I can't believe my eyes on +250!!!!!

    Ended up as a 2-2 draw. Mexico could have won it.
