Buddle's brace helps USA top Australia

Soccer Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Roodepoort, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of first-half goals from Edson Buddle helped the United States to a 3-1 win over Australia in a friendly on Saturday.

Buddle scored four minutes into the game before Australia's Tim Cahill equalized in the 19th minute. Buddle tallied his second goal 12 minutes later and Herculez Gomez scored right before the final whistle.

Saturday's match provided both teams with their final tune up before the World Cup begins and Buddle got off to a great start with regular striker Jozy Altidore out with an ankle injury.

The Los Angeles Galaxy man stole the ball from Australia's Vince Grella in the opening minutes and he carried it to the top of the penalty area before lashing a shot past goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.

Robbie Findley should have doubled the lead when he rounded the goalkeeper but fired wide of the empty net, while Cahill was left open at the back post on a corner kick and easily volleyed the ball home.

The Americans took a lead into halftime, however, as Steve Cherundolo's right- wing cross was headed past Schwarzer from close range by Buddle.

Australia's Josh Kennedy missed a free header six yards from goal that would have leveled the match before the break and the USA missed one of their own early in the second half when a lunging effort from Findley hit the crossbar.

Marcus Hahnemann replaced Tim Howard in the USA goal at halftime and he produced a good save on Marco Bresciano to keep his team in front.

Gomez then capped the scoring just before the end of the match as he redirected a low cross from Landon Donovan past the keeper.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
