South Africa - USA

International Friendly Match

This match is quickly becoming a public bet, and odds will surely drop some more before the kick-off. The USA are sending over a very weak and inexperienced squad, as from the 18-man team that will travel to Africa, only 9 players have more than 23 years, and only 5 of them have played more than 10 matches for the national team. Coach Bradley already said that he wants to use this match as a practice, in order to test some new players, and even though probably they will put in a good effort, they just lack the depth and experience to make some problems here. The Africans have called upon a much more serious squad, and we can see some big names in their rooster: Pienaar, Gaxa, Parker, etc. Definitely not some world class players, but certainly more than enough for the young American team. I'm also expecting more commitment from the hosts, so a small bet on them should surely be tried. Small stakes however, as this is still just a friendly match. GL!

South Africa (-0.25 AH) @ 1.96, 3/10
Result: 0-1, LOST
