SPAIN VS USA 2009 CONFEDERATIONS CUP BETTING TIPS

Fernando Torres and the Spanish football team go into their 2009 Confederations Cup semi-final clash with the United States as 1/4 favourites for the outright win with the USA listed at a price of 9/1. The draw pays 7/2 with top UK bookmaker Ladbrokes. It's not often the Americans come up against talent as high as Spain, and the reigning European Champions are expected to dominate the game from start to finish. However, while a Spain victory is the most likely outcome, you can never completely rule out the Americans who are playing a match the Internet has dubbed "Megabowl".If the USA pulls off a 1-0 victory, you're looking at 12/1 odds while a 2-0 victory pays a massive 50/1. A 2-1 victory (and if the Americans do pull it off, this will likely be the scoreline) pays out at an equally impressive 33/1. Spain to win 2-0 is the shortest-odds correct score at 5/1 with 1-0 paying out at 6/1. 2-1 to Spain pays out at 8/1 while a 3-0 victory is listed at 6/1. A repeat of the first scoreline between these two teams, 3-1, will pay out at 10/1. 3-2 is 33/1. David Villa is favoured to score anytime at 4/6 with Fernando Torres just behind at 8/11. Dani Guiza and Fernando Llorente are at evens while David Silva and Cesc Fabregas both pay out at 2/1. Juan Manuel Mata is 9/4 while Xavi and Alberto Riera are alongside Santiago Cazorla at 5/2. Xabi Alonso is 10/3, the same price as Pablo Hernandez, with Jozy Altidore and Landon Donovan the favourites to score anytime for the United States at 9/2. Spain are 2/3 to win the first half and the USA are 9/1. A first-half draw is 13/8. Spain to score first and USA to score last is a solid bet at 5/1. The slimmest odds on total goals is 2 goals at 3/1. Spain are also 4/5 to score in both halves while the USA are 40/1 to come from behind and win. Spain are 8/11 to win to nil. I'm backing Spain 2-0 and 3-0, but I'm also backing the United States to win 2-1.
