Odds from Bodog:

MONEYLINE:
ITALY: -200
USA: +500
DRAW: -240

Anyone else think Italy is a great bet a -200. After seeing the U.S against the Czech, I think it's going to be another blowout.

I don't really get what the numbers mean..

Italy to win -200: bet $200 to win $100

USA to win + 500: bet $100 to win $500

Draw -240: bet $240 to win $100

My bookie is at Italy -185, I think I'll take a shot even though I have no clue about soccer. All I know is USA got killed the other day, so what the hell...

Italy 18, USA 0

Let's hope not.

I think the US is actually going to show up on Saturday

Italy 2 US 1

more like 1-0 Italy

Pretty sure the draw line is +280, not -280. If it's -280, then Bodog must be taking some pretty sick juice.

Oh, and the US had a really bad game four years ago against Poland too, and still did pretty well. I don't think they can beat Italy, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull out a 1-1 draw.

good catch on the draw line Iggy, it is +280, I should've caught that. Also the USA is 7-1 at TheGreek.com if anyone is shopping for a better USA price...

I'd go with Italy at 2-1. The US sucks at soccer right now. I don't expect them to make the next round. Wait 3-4 more World Cups though and we'll probablly win one due to it's popularity growth in recent years.

i'll actually take 3-1 Italy.

If you want to back Italy, you may wish to check-out Asian Handicap. Ladbrokes are offering Italy at -1.0 goals. (if Italy win by 2 or more goals they pay 1.92; almost evens.) Also, if italy win by a single goal you get your stake returned.

I expect other sports-books offer similar deals.

Ouch. That is all.

Should have listened to me. I called that one.

7-1 was an absolutely sick price. I would have bet heavily on the usa 7-1 odds. I've thought italy was overrated. Italy may advance, but mark my words, they are going to do fck all in the next round.
