Default Italy/Australia & Switzerland/Ukraine

Thoughts everybody? I would think under in Italy/Aus game and have no real idea on the other one.

dunno, Aus defense is not the best and Italy doesnt play all defensive anymore when leading 1-0.

Okay, I was under the impression that was their style still.

Any thoughts on the game on Tuesday, Spain/France. That line looks out of whack to me, I thought Spain would be a much larger favorite than -140ish to advance.

As for today's lines.
I think Italy is worth a chance in the money line -240
Wouldt take it -1
Not too big on totals but gotta take under 2.5 on this
one -170 o so.

As for the afternoon game, I think its gonna be a close one. No heavy favorite on that one.
Im gonna take, Ukraine -to advance, -110 or so. Dont wanna bet bit in the ass by that draw line which by the way looks pretty attractive if you think about it at +210.
Total? its a coin toss I would take Over 2.5 at +140 or so.

Anyway guys,
enjoy the games and good luck.
Bulldog

Good luck Bulldog.
Your picks look more rational than others I've seen around about soccer, no offense on no one.

Italy is -127 to win in regulation now. I'm not so sure it's going to happen.

Less likely to happen now with 10 men. Should liven up the match, though.

Nice save on the Astros last night Taco, did you stay up to watch it or did you wake up to see the score this morning?

The live odds on this match are pretty much even, Italy is still a slight favorite to advance.

The under seems like a lock?
Still think Italy should advance, even with 10 men.
Anyway...

Nope. Took some in-game live betting. That chalk was -170 on under 2.5 this morning.
