U.S. continues World Cup prep against El Sal

Soccer Betting Lines

02/23/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - United States coach Bob Bradley will take another look at possible World Cup players on Wednesday against El Salvador, the last game before this June's event that the full team won't be available.

The U.S. played Honduras last month, and plays fellow CONCACAF rival El Sal at Raymond James Stadium in the second straight game without the top core of U.S. players.

"These are important opportunities for these players as we ... formulate our plans for the roster for the World Cup," Bradley said.

The U.S. continues preparations for the tournament in South Africa on March 3, when a FIFA-mandated international date will allow Bradley to call on his best players for a visit to the Netherlands.

The Americans also play the Czech Republic and Turkey in May, but Bradley will have his top players available then as well, with the World Cup opener against England set for June 12. The U.S. also plays Slovenia and Algeria in Group C.

Bradley has five players as his disposal this week who were on the squad for a World Cup qualifier against El Sal in September. Defenders Jonathan Bornstein and Chad Marshall played the entire match, a 2-1 U.S. victory. Midfielder Kyle Beckerman came off the bench in that match. Brian Ching and Robbie Rogers were unused substitutes.

In March's World Cup qualifier at El Salvador, midfielder Sacha Kljestan and defender Heath Pearce started in a 2-2 draw.

The U.S. is 14-1-5 all-time against El Salvador, and 11-0-2 at home.

Following is the U.S. roster:

Goalkeepers: Troy Perkins (D.C. United), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake).

Defenders: Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Clarence Goodson (IK Start), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Heath Pearce (FC Dallas), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC).

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Geoff Cameron (Houston Dynamo), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Eddie Gaven (Columbus Crew), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Dax McCarty (FC Dallas), Chris Pontius (D.C. United), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew).

Forwards: Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Jeff Cunningham (FC Dallas), Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake).

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDS

NFL Sports Betting

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.

Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.

Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.

The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
