I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole given how trash those betting lines are—if these guys from the Midwest actually get momentum, they could easily drop five or six goals easy as pie.
It’s a matchup between the team that was actually hitting their stride during the last qualifying round and a Turkish side that—well, let's just say they've been a bit of a disappointment at the start of these new qualifiers. Now, look, I’m a fan of the Americans, but if I'm being honest? I think they're going to have a hell of a time making it back to the playoffs this time around—even with that expanded Euro format everyone keeps talking about. They've landed in a group with a powerhouse Dutch squad, a Turkish team that finally seems to be waking up, plus some tricky Czechs and those pesky Kazakhs and Latvians. Turkey is definitely finding its footing again—they showed flashes of that toward the end of the World Cup qualifiers and they've been leaning into it during friendlies (though, let's be real, friendlies aren't always the best yardstick for anything, but still...). They've pulled off 10 wins in their last 12 outings. What's interesting is how high-scoring their recent matches have been lately. In six of their last seven games, you saw at least three goals, and both sides usually found the back of the net—five of those ended in a 2-1 scoreline. My gut tells me the Americans are going to come out swinging hard, which just leaves the door wide open for Turkish counterattacks. I'm expecting an open game with plenty of chances and, naturally, plenty of goals.
For all those reasons, I’ve decided to go with the exact score of 1:2 (I’ll probably wait to place this live, since the odds tend to get much better once things get moving) . On top of that, it might be worth a shot with the halftime/fulltime 1/2 @ 32 (Germania) (1-0/3-0), similar to what we saw over the weekend when Turkey staged that comeback against the Danes in Copenhagen. I don't see why they couldn't pull off something similar here.
Looking at this Major League Soccer matchup in Paraguay—where Deportivo is sitting middle-of-the-pack with 7 points from 6 matches—they're hosting Guaraní, who, to put it bluntly, are absolutely tearing it up lately. After an initial draw, they've rattled off five straight wins and have a goal differential of 16:3 that just looks ridiculous. Historically, the visitors have the upper hand too, holding 4 wins against a single draw and loss, but you really have to look at their last three outings where Guaraní managed to find the back of the net 13 times. The away side is famous for these wild, high-scoring affairs—think 5:5, 6:2, or 5:3 type of chaos—so I decided to take a shot at the over options: 6+ goals @ 9,50 and 7+ @ 37 (Germany)
Just going on a bit of a hunch here, I might also try the half-time/full-time 1/2 @ 25 (1-0/1-0) option—only the PSK platform lets you actually work out those specific types of bets anyway.
You’ve already asked this once—no sense in beating a dead horse by posting the same thing again. Someone who actually knows the answer will eventually chime in and get back to you.

Where on earth did you get that from? 🤷😕
Our guys actually had some breakdowns too—we were looking at 35.5 and 45.5.
Gerald Carter53 said:Does anyone know if people actually claim Chievo is just a feeder club for Juve? I know there's some talk about someone being a satellite team, and I'm pretty sure it's Chievo they're pointing the finger at.
It wasn't Chievo—it was Siena that got relegated down to USL League Two.
Mamić's mess—Petrolul wins by 2 at 4.2 odds (just kidding) (2-1). Handicap 2 at 11 (SS), passing that... then there's the double handicap 2 at 28.1 (HL).
So, here we go again. I’m expecting another classic performance from this club—you know, the one formerly known as Dinamo Chicago—similar to that mess against the Danish side. We'll probably have maybe five thousand Noahs in the stands, ready to start whistling the second the Romanians take the lead. This whole fraudulent organization just got lucky back in Romania because they managed to capitalize on Mutu's misses. Now? I’m just waiting for the collective panic to set in and for us to suffer a routine, embarrassing loss. Honestly, I can only hope it’s enough to finally send them down.
I'll throw in some options too. Mutu scores at 3.60. Since they’ve got some serious making up to do after that first game, I'm looking at Tamuz to find the back of the net—odds are sitting at @ 6 (for the halftime goal, anyway), while everyone else is hovering around @ 3.60.
There’s also that option with Tamuz. He bags two goals by the 39th minute—absolute madness. te Tamuz scoring in both halves—anybody else seeing this? Feeling like it’s sitting at +109... definitely worth a look. 😲
Second leg of the Democratic Party quarterfinals—where the most expensive squad in Asia is looking to claw back from a 0-1 deficit after that first matchup against the Australian side. The Chinese players—who happen to be the current champs, by the way—are running under big-name Marcello Lippi, led by guys like Italian Diamanti, plus they’ve got Guillermina and Brazilian Elkeson joining the ranks this season. Honestly, they just have to win here to make it to the semis and actually live up to being the favorites for this whole tournament. After a bit of a slump, the Chinese side is finally finding their rhythm again—they've picked up three straight wins lately (that's 5 out of their last 6 in the domestic league). The Australians, though... they aren't exactly match-fit yet since their season doesn't even kick off until November, so that win in the first leg was a massive shocker.
The home team is missing two players who picked up reds in the first game, but I don't think that'll sink them. Even though I'm pulling for the Australians, I think the home side pulls this one off to advance.
The Chinese side tends to have a slow start sometimes, so I'm thinking about leaning toward the transition 2/1 @ 27 (0-0/2-1)
I’m leaning toward a win here, though honestly, these Moldovan teams are such a low-level amateur outfit that they don't really serve as much of a benchmark.
One of the teams in that region just dismantled them 12-0, and another squad—I think they played a side from somewhere near Chicago today—put up a massive 19-0.
Even their neighbors, playing against a Greek side, managed a comfortable 3-0 victory.
The match should be available for live betting, so I think I'll just sit tight and wait for that.
Just another one of those guys—look, I’m not exactly a fan of the ownership at the Lakers, but 🙏
The rhetoric is just exhausting.
Do me a favor and drop the attitude on this sub, because it really doesn't fly here. We get enough of that over on the main team thread; it's got no place in this corner of the forum.
mellowsurfer59 said:The bottom line is—some people see the club's performances as an absolute embarrassment, while others, looking at it logically, see them as a win for American soccer, and honestly, that’s all that matters.
By the same token, I’m just not following—how exactly did teams like Malmö, Ludogorets, Shakhtar, or Austria "embarrass" the club? Is it because they actually beat them or played competitively? If that's your definition of a disgrace, then you don't strike me as much of a soccer fan as someone who's just looking for a reason to hate. I mean, look at Celtic—they lost 4-1 to Legia, even though the Polish side has a budget ten times larger than theirs. Modern soccer is worlds apart from how things were a decade ago when everyone used to laugh at the Swedish, Armenian, or Kazakh teams—today, those clubs are legitimate threats to anyone outside of the big five leagues.
And trust me, I am definitely not a fan of the current ownership's regime. A single loss isn't a disgrace if you view it as an isolated incident—well, except for that Lyon game, obviously—but the real shame is the way this club has performed in Europe over the last several seasons. It’s embarrassing how the front office brings in mediocre players and tries to market them as these massive, game-changing signings, only to flip them for profit after two decent matches. It’s the coaching decisions, it's the shady financial dealings behind the scenes, it's having a feeder club in the same league, and frankly, it's seeing half-empty stadiums during European nights because the ticket prices are predatory...
But like I said, I wouldn't want to get into more of that 😉
@ crimsonpuma23
I wasn't saying a 2-goal spread on the Dance is a lock, just that it might be worth a shot given how poorly the club is playing lately.
I didn't even mention LAFC, but I can tell you right now—I don't agree with the folks thinking they're going to cruise through the playoffs (even if I really wish they would).
