WORLD CUP
MONDAY
Parlay France -217 and Germany -313 (2 units to win 1.86 units)
It's probably the safest bet in what should be a rather boring pair of games. Really looking forward to Tuesday's matches.
Record: 183-208.5, +11.36 (including futures of Colombia reaching quarterfinals and Uruguay not making the semifinals or finals)

WORLD CUP
TUESDAY
United States +337/Belgium, 1 unit
United States to advance +173, 2 units
I've had a feel on the United States since the first match, so I have to keep going with them. They are 2-0-1 against the spread, with the draw against Germany. I think this may be the least aggressive team the US has seen yet, and I haven't been as impressed with Belgium as I thought I would be. I may have Champs League plays (yes, Champ League Round 1 starts Tuesday) if 5Dimes has lines and plays are available.
Record: 183-209.5, +9.36

TUESDAY
CHAMPS LEAGUE
FC Santa Coloma +1.25 -112/Banants, 2 units
La Fiorita +1.75 +101/Levadia, 2 units
EUROPA
Dundalk -.5 -132/Jeunesse Esch, 1 unit
Sliema +2 -120/Ferencvaros, 2 units
Zimbru +.5 +106/Shkendija, 2 units
I've found the first two rounds of Champs and Europa League very profitable, thanks to a number-crunching site that reviews every league in Europe. I think they have an advantage on bookmakers on lower-level leagues. Except for Dundalk and Zimbru, I'm betting the weaker team at home, thinking they'll play defensively. Meanwhile the road team will be happy to leave with a one-goal win or draw, then beat up their opponent at home next week. Dundalk has the advantage of being in mid-season, and Shkendija's odds have dropped significantly despite their major transfers not being able to play this match.

WEDNESDAY
CHAMPS LEAGUE
Lincoln +300/Torshavn, 1 unit
Taking an absolute shot in the dark here on the Gilbralter team playing its first Champs League contest. Doing this solely on soccer pundits thinking Gilbralter might have a decent lower-level national team (being so close to Spain). Torshavn lost in the first round of Europa play last year to an Icelandic team, but Faroe Islands teams do play well at this level. The question is what level is Lincoln. I'll take +300 at home to find out.
Record: 187-213.5, +10.38 (including Swiss not advancing to quarters)

Lincoln held the lead for 70+ minutes before giving up the tying goal. They played about even at home and I can see then playing close on the road.

REST OF EUROPA

Kukesi PK +193/K. Almaty, 1 unit (strange line, but seems right. Not sure why 5Dimes isn't moving off PK.)

SUNDAY
WORLD CUP
Germany/Argentina O2 -108, 2 units
Riding Argentina +430 tin win World Cup, 1 unit
IRELAND
Sligo -1 -124/UC Dublin, 4 units
Shamrock/Dundalk DRAW +233, 2 units
Derry City -1 +102/Bray, 3 units
Can't believe Brazil did not show up against Netherlands. There's going to be a huge shakeup in Brazilian soccer. As for Ireland, I'm assuming Sligo and Derry keep focused on league play despite Europa matches.
Record: 201-235.5, +2.21
