ENGLAND VS UNITED STATES PREDICTIONS AND WORLD CUP 2010 BETTING TIPS

If this match turns out to be a drab 0-0 draw like we saw in the later game on the opening day of the World Cup, then I wonder whether the status of the game would ever recover in the USA. Personally, I think Amerians are looking forward to this match a lot more than they are letting on- they always appreciate an underdog and their boys certainly fall into that category here. 

Popular UK bookmaker Bet365 has priced England as the 1.5 favourites ahead of the United States who trade at 7.0 with the draw available at 4.2. 
The bookies don't appear to favour a particularly high-scoring match and that's where I think there's a few dollars to be made on this one- I have a feeling we'll see a few goals in this one. 1-0 to England pays out at 5.5 while a 2-0 result pays 6.0. A 1-1 draw pays out at 8.0 while a 2-1 result to England is listed at 8.5. 
Should the United States manage to pull this off there are excellent prices on virtually all correct scores. 1-0 to the USA pays out at 15.0 while a 2-1 result pays out at 23.0. 
England to win both legs of the half-time/full-time market is priced at 2.1 while draw/England is a mere 3.6. USA/England pays out at 23.0. 
The over/under on goals has been set at 2.5 with the under favoured at 1.8. Over 2.5 goals pays out at a solid even money price. You can back England on the (-1.0) asian handicap and you'll find that priced at 1.9. USA (+1.0) rewards at evens. 
You can get 2.25 on England at (-1.0) on the traditional handicap result market. 
Wayne Rooney is the big favourite to score first at 4.0 in this match and you'll find him available at 1.83 to score anytime while Jermain Defoe is trading at 2.87 anytime- that's the same price as Peter Crouch. Frank Lampard trades at 3.1 while Steven Gerrard is listed at 3.4. 
Landon Donovan will be looking to get the job done for the Americans at a 5.5 price while Clint Dempsey is just behind him at 5.5. 
One English player to keep your eye on is the attacking-minded Glen Johnson. He's 10.0 to score anytime and 26.0 to score first or last. 
I think the more goals there are in this one the better it is for England. If the USA pull it off it will likely be a 1-0 result after an incredible performance from Tim Howard. I think Rooney will likely get the job done here and I'm backing England to win by a 3-1 margin.
