Can anyone convince me that Spain will not score 5 goals against Tahiti. Is anyone familiar with the spain yougsters? the goaline has moved to -2.5 -171 to -200. Im thinking of using this in a parlay. Insights anyone?

[cro]

id score 5 against tahiti

[INVINCIBLE]

Why not?
Spain has a really great team, Merida, Parejo, de Marcos, Krkic and very good goalie Sergio Asenjo. And Tahiti are the newcomers.

-2.5 for sure.

Best of luck.

I think this one should be a 6-0 Spain win. 3-0 1H 3-0 2H

Spain are one of the favs for this, the odds are not inviting at all, spanish football in general has a problem opening up closed defenses, but i have now idea on Tahiti, and with young players its not always so predictable

[Phillth]

well in qualifying tahiti could only manage 4 goals against fiji, new caledonia, and new zealand. I dont think they will score against spain. So all we need from spain is 3 goals. This should be a breeze for spain. Also since this is a group stage match, it is important to accumulate goals in case of a tiebreak situation. Ill use the play in a parlay.

[TurkzZ]

agreed, parlay play

[cro]

if spain doesnt win by 7 goals they shouldnt play anymore.

Over 3.5 @ $1.67

I wonder why the goaline hasnt moved to -3 at a lower vig. its at -2.5 -210 now

[RoagBettor]

Bookmaker has it over 3.5 -165

[Phillth]

Id say that is fairly accurate. They US youth system is getting strong. We have many youngster playing in europe at the likes of Hertha, Stabaek, Brugge, Napoli, Sporting. Not to mention all the MLS players

I just want to tell you a point I think the price for Germany is slightly better understandable.
The german leagues started some weeks ago and two thirds of the players that used to play are not on the way to Egypt. Some players are important factors in their teams, playing first XI. Therefore the clubs wanted them to stay and play. The german u-20 youngsters can be called a weakened team, nearly a b-team. I think they can nevertheless win against USA, but it´s a no play for me (I am not familiar with the US-Squad).
Good luck.. HSCH

[Phillth]

great info. the power of the world wide web at its finest

[Shark79]

Never heard of Tahiti ... that can give you an idea how bad their soccer must be.

Philtith, sorry to take over your thread, but I just opened one under SBR Pts whomever wants to take the opposite teams I selected to bet on SBR Points.

Just check in this thread: Sharkys U20 WorldCup (19 pts vs 22pts)

[Phillth]

Bingo. line just moved to -2 3/4 -165. Thats still some high vig. -2 1/2 was the right play.

The German association was more interested in bashing the FIFA for scheduling the World Cup in September than in getting any decent players. Without enforcing any players from their teams the German juniors are a squad of nobodies while all their stars (Kroos, Müller etc.) are playing the Bundesliga.
Of course, the German DFB doesn't have to care about the junior World Cup anymore, since they've already got the 2006 tournament, and are not likely to get much more for the next 20 years.
So the only way to go would betting against them, but without any infos on the US squad, I'm staying away.

[Phillth]

Total now at -3 -151. This should be an absolute thrashing.

tahiti is a little island with a population of about 160,000
their soccer boots are probably donated

if spain doesnt win by 7 goals they shouldnt play anymore.

Over 3.5 @ $1.67

11-0

[Phillth]

lol. youre being to generous. spain will only score 10 goals

[cro]

bookies got raped on this one

[Phillth]

bookies got raped on this one

sure did.

[sjm5122]

This was probably the easiest pick i've ever made in my life. I think Spain -4.5 might of been more reasonable.

[Phillth]

i wish i could make a 2nd half bet here. the blood is in the water. tahiti is handing out free fish.

[cro]

spain will feel sorry for them.. wont reach 11
if they tried it could reach 15, but they want free holidays in tahiti

[Shark79]

6-0 ... unreal.

[INVINCIBLE]

6-0 ... unreal.

Unreal ?
I would say As expected.

[mariomonte]

6-0 ... unreal.

The really unreal thing is that a squad like Tahiti did actually qualify for a (youth) World Cup.

[INVINCIBLE]

And there goes the 7

EDIT: 8

[Phillth]

There were only 4 teams in oceanic qualifying.

[INVINCIBLE]

Full Time 8-0

Slaughter is over.

[mariomonte]

There were only 4 teams in oceanic qualifying.

Yes, I've read the stories about Tahiti's qualifying before. They're quite funny - their starting effort was a 0-0 vs. mighty New Caledonia.

The qualifying for FIFA youth tourneys is traditionally ridiculous: this time we have 6 European teams and 5 from Australasia. But of course Blatter knows that the "developing" countries have developed - and Tahiti and Uzbekiztan are much better than France or Argentina.

[cro]

uzbekistan is decent compared to oceania nations
