CONCACAF Gold Cup 2011
The handicap for the Mexicans is abysmal this time, and even though I know there is hardly any value here, I will still take the bet, as I see it as a pretty sure thing. After the first match-day in Group A, we can already draw some conclusions. both Mexico and Costa Rica look up to the challenge, as both dismantled their opponents with a whooping 5-0. If El Salvador can have some excuses, as they were always expected to lose heavily (and they held Mexico to a draw until HT, and that's a big achievement), Cuba has showed a truly shameful performance. Of course, Costa Rica were rightly favorites, and everybody expected them to win, but not with that score, and not in that fashion (the 5-0 score could have been even bigger, as the Ticos missed a couple of other clear-cut chances). Mexico will surely show their class again, and it shouldn't even be a problem of determination here, as the Mexicans can score 3-4 goals just for fun and without breaking any sweat. (some of Cuba's recent 'performances' also include: a 1-2 defeat against Guadeloupe, a 0-0 draw with Grenada and a 0-2 defeat against Panama). As I said, the handicap is huge, but is justified, and I'll use the same stakes as I used for the previous match. Odds will most probably drop heavily again. GL!
Mexico (-2.5 AH) @ 1.74, 4/10
Result: 5-0, WON
