Any thoughts on Germany and China tonight? Big favourites but to big or? Germany has been impressive so far scoring lots of goals. They also enjoy beeing big favourites H2H with 8-2-0 in earlier meatings. Last match was in November 2002 and Germany won 4-0. The official site for the cup says that the East Europeans will be without one of their key attacking players Elena Fomina. Ideas?

sorry, could not answer in time for germany....but we are already leading..just scored the 1-0.

in 2nd game i like China. i did not see anything from them so far and results on paper dont look that in impressive like they played in the past, but i saw canada twice in this tourney and i dont think they can win here.
It's more a play against canada.

China over Canada @ 1.50

Nice showing by the German women. I look for extreme mismatches when betting because the books are somewhat reluctant to make lines like -5 or -6. Are there any matches coming up where the Germans should win by 3 or more goals?

i dont think so, cause next up will be the semis.
And Germany is playing USA, which will be the "real " final of the WC.

I think winner of this match will for sure getan easy win in the final against canada or sweden which were both blown out by usa and germany in group stage.

Any thoughts on the semies? I'm expecting to see USA v Sweden in the final, and Germany will beat Canada and get the 3rd place. Must admit I was kind of surpriced to see Sweden as high as 1.70 against Canada..

What do you guys think?

So far :9-5 +2.12

Today the real final will be played:
USA- Germany:
For me, and not only because i'm from Germany, this is a complete open match. i dont see a reason why any team should be favoured here.
i think there is too much hype around the us-team, which is taking the line down.
i see 3.6 for Germany, which i'll take. But i'm still waiting for a asian line which gives me -1/2 or even -3/4 as i see a good chance for a draw here.

2nd game is easier.

Sweden over Canada @ 1.70

Both are surprizes here, but even if it were hockey sweden might have a good chance

Germany +0.5,+1 @ 1.85

Cannot understand that line in a coin-toss match-up, but i'll take the 3/4 goal.

The Swedes have been efficient and clinical when needed to be (the match against Brazil was easily their toughest match-up with a freaky wonder free-kick the difference between the two.).

Canada though not a rollover have only had the one meaninful match in beating an out-of-sorts China, 1-0.

....damn right, the final's going to be a bust with Germany or the USA walking it.

The odds for Germany are now at +0.5 instead of +0.5, +1.0. I think more people are taking that bet on Germany.

line is dropping fast.
and it has to...it was just too much hype about us-team in us-public, because they dont know there are other teams , too.
i still think it's a complete open match and even +0.5 is still good value.

wondering, why line on sweden is not dropping. result is too obvious for me.
Have fun with the "real" final tonight. should be a good game

I'm guessing the books thought there would be more people betting for the US (simply by virtue of population) in this coin-toss match-up and that caused the books to make the line for the US. Once the books realize more people are betting for Germany than they thought, they adjust the line from +0.5, +1 to +0.5. Just a guess on my part.

rec so far 11-5 +3.67

i hope you all jumped on Germany to win it all, when i mentioned it at the beginning of tourney.

All european Final:

Germany- Sweden: Take Germany @ 1.65

Germany is the best team here in WC, solid defense, great offense, a perfect group of girls, which were already fired up for this WC from the begiining.
Win over US will give them additional confidence and they already know, nobody from Europe besides Norway can beat them..but Norway is out and the blonde girls are coming up.
Sweden happy and satisfied to be in final will face it's first "real" strong opponent (china was not as good as in the past)
European order stands and will not be changed here.

USA over Canada @ 1.35 for !!2 units!!

Nothing to say here...complete missmatch+ USA should be extra motivated in front of home crowd after loss and girls will do everything to give Mia Hamm a medal in her last game.

Also Parlay of theses two @ combined 2.23

HURRY ,THESE LINES WILL DROP.

i expect closing lines of Germany 1.45 and USA 1.2 at game time

Germany 1.65 you can find at many books. some of them are gamebookers, sportwetten-gera, betandwin, scandicbet...
USA 1.35 you can find at betandwin, most book have it at 1.30.
I did not check out to many. some have no lines out yet. but it's worth shopping around if you can, because as it was in the semi between GER-USA..i feel lines are influenced by location of book.
US-books tend to set line on US lower, European books,mainly german and austrian, are setting lines on germany down.

Pinnacle had the Germany/US game but not the Sweden/Canada game. I see they don't have any lines out yet for the finals.
