07:00pm Los Angeles at Vancouver - LA has won 5 of their last 7 games overall and seem to have turned the corner. Last three meetings between the two clubs have been 3-0, 3-0, and 4-0 Galaxy wins. Los Angeles -0.25 -120

08:00pm Dallas at San Jose - Dallas finally broke a 13 game winless streak last out. Last 5 games away have gone over. San Jose are the highest scoring team in the league with a solid 6W-2D-1L home record. Seven of their last eight games have gone over. San Jose -0.75 -115, Over 2.5 -115

Hopefully, my Sounders don't get embarrassed by Chelsea tonight. That 7-0 loss last year against Man U. was painful.

rolltide, are you boycotting this forum for good? It ain't the same down here without your weekly MLS plays.

congrats on your nice night SD. nothing wrong with a 3.5-1 evening. thankfully the Wondo pk miss didn't kill us with Benitez firing his penalty into the 30th row

and a better effort from the sounders too. at least Montero can score in a friendly

Thanks, rolltide.

I feel very lucky getting the half push with LA scoring in the 81st & 87th min. I should've known Van. would come out strong in their 1st home game after 5 straight on the road.

So many chances for San Jose to get a third goal. Had to wait, but at least the game went over. About what min. was the missed pk for Dallas? I missed that one, but saw the highlight.

For Seattle, the passing between Eddie Johnson & the other players up front looked a lot better. Finally, they are getting on the same page. The back 4 is clearly the weak link for the Sounders, however. Jeff Park got exposed badly on Chelsea's 1st two goals. They need to get starting GK Gspurning back asap. How long does it take to recover from a hip injury?

I briefly thought about taking the over 2.75 in that game. Should've pulled the trigger.

dallas penalty was in stoppage time....92nd i'd say. clear penalty but luckily it was blasted over top of the goal. Wondo's missed penalty was much earlier in the 2nd half. He made it initially but SJ jumped into the area too soon and on the retake he hit a horrible one right into hartman's gut.

Wow! Lucky indeed. I stopped watching after Dallas made it 2-1, but came back and saw the postgame highlights. It was already way past my bedtime as 4:30am comes early.

When San Jose missed the retake on the pk, I was so mad. Why would a player shoot it to the exact same spot you just scored? You know the goalie is going to take that away on the retry.

There are some games that definately look good for Saturday. I'm just waiting for 5Dimes and Heritage to put up their alternate lines.

yeah, i took 4u on Dallas at +100 so far. I was impressed with how they played the first 20-25 minutes and certainly the last 20 minutes after they tossed that whiny bitch Shea on his ass. With Ferreira back they're getting much better and once Blas returns they'll be a big time "play on" team. outplaying SJ away for basically 45 minutes without your starting striker and both center backs is pretty impressive. Speaking of Perez...6 weeks with a sprained ankle? geez, suck it up panama

anyway that'll likely be my main bet for the weekend just hope shea stops his prima donna act and realizes he's playing like total shit right now and needs to work harder

which book do you two use for your main soccer out? Thanks

SunDodger · Jul 21, 2012

I only have two accounts. 5Dimes and Heritage. Heritage usually puts their lines up first, but 5Dimes has lower juice. Both books put up alternate spread lines, or asian handicap lines, on the day of the game. This is key for me, as I like to bet at odds close to -110 for the majority of my bets.
