EPL Italy Spain Deportivo La Coruna -vs- Recreativo Huelva : Deportivo La Coruna Not much logic involved, just only because Depor is at home and -0.25 looks attractive. GBL Europe International Day Total : Week Total : Season Total : EPL : Italy : Spain : GBL : Misc : Europe : International :

Spain

EPL Italy Spain Real Sociedad -vs- Racing Santander : Real Sociedad Missing giant Zigic and nothing much to play for, Racing will be just goin thru motion. Levante -vs- Valencia : Levante On paper, Valencia looks odds on favorite. But, having 4 players playing for Spain and nothing much to play for in the league, Levante likely to get at least a draw, which will guarenteed their safety. Villarreal -vs- Athletic Bilbao : Athletic Bilbao Forlan travel all the way Australia to play a meaningless friendly. His tireless will shown. The resilient Bilbao should at least get a draw. Mallorca -vs- Sevilla: Sevilla Sentimental bet. Always like Servilla with their attacking play. Mallorca nothing to play for, and should not offer much resilients.

Gold Cup

Only during off-season that i bother to look at these type of matches.. I will only continue on Gold cup if i continue winning, else not advisable to waste $$ on these lau sai games... EPL Italy Spain GBL Europe International Honduras -vs- Panama : Honduras I always think David Suazo is very under-rated. With pace, skill and sharpness, he should be considered as a world class striker should he born to a more established football nation.

Europe Qualifier again!

EPL Italy Spain GBL Europe International Norway -vs- Hungary : Norway Hungary have nothing much to play for. Norway is always discipline, well organized and very strong at home. Germany -vs- Slovakia : Slovakia This young German side is very very overrated. Against a talented Slovakia side with a -2 handicap is way too high. Germany has struggled in the first half against minnows San Marino and they might be struggled again. Croatia -vs- Russia : Draw Neither teams will want to lose this match. Playing for a win is more of a bonus than a priority. Guus Hiddink's team always very well organized. I expect both team to just test each other out with sporadic attack and ends with a boring draw. Estonia -vs- England : Estonia And again, away giving -2 goal handicap is way too high. Will be looking for opportunity to run jalan. France -vs- Georgia : Georgia Another of a high handicap match. I think France might struggled again. Day Total : Week Total : Season Total : EPL : Italy : Spain : GBL : Misc : Europe : International :

Europe Qualifier

EPL Italy Spain GBL Europe International Wales -vs- Czech Republic : Over 2.5 Goals 1. Will Wales reserve keeper keep out the attacking Czech Team? 2. Is -0.75 too high for the away team? 3. Will Bellamy fires up and sneak in a couple of goals? My Analysis : Wales reserve keeper will struggle, but 0.75 is too high for an away team as you need to win by 2 goals to win the full amount. And yes, Bellamy will sneak in 1 or 2 goals. So i choose over 2.5 goals. France -vs- Ukraine : France 1. Is -1 too high the handicap? My Analysis : If France are to slip on this, they can kiss their qualification good bye. Especially with Italy in the same group. Latvia -vs- Spain : Spain Spain's player are on top of their game now, as La Liga is at the closing stages. Valencia who supplied the most player has nothing to play in the league and their player especially Joaquin and David Villa are keen to impress. A must win game for them. Belgium -vs- Portugal : Belgium Somehow, Scalori's Portugal are quite defensive when playing away. They might be make to pay by Bayern's Van Buyten led young Belgium side. Watch out for young AZ striker Martens. Greece -vs- Hungary : Greece Greece, will be all fired up against an uninspired Hungarian side who have nothing to play for.

England Vs Brazil 1-1

Really no form this week, already down almost $500. England turtled themselves against a half/paced Brazil. This does shown the gulf between the 2. Lack of ideas in attacks, it is inevitable that their goal comes from setpieces. Brazil again, unearthed some of their lesser known players. The towering Naldo, the resurgence playmaker Diego and a relatively late developer Alfonso. One thing i not quite understand is that, snce Ronaldinho is not playing in Copa, why he was kept on the field for full 90 mins for a match to warm up for Copa?
