USA VS GHANA PREVIEW: BRITISH BOOKMAKERS SLASH GOALSCORER PRICE ON LANDON DONOVAN

When the odds were originally listed for this match they had both sides more or less dead-even to win the match with a draw looking extremely likely. Over the past 24 hours, we've seen the United States drop sharply in price and they've brought the goalscoring odds of their talisman and captain down with them.

Landon Donovan's odds to score in the match today against Ghana are currently priced by benchmark UK bookmaker Blue Square at a 15/8 price. For our American friends, that's +188 in your language. 
Blue Square are offering up some other interesting bets on Donovan, for instance- he is 20/1 to score in both halves and 50/1 to score a hat-trick. He is priced at 12/1 to score a header and 9/1 to score from outside the box. He's listed at 7/2 to score first for the USA and 8/1 to hit the woodwork (that's a good bet). He is listed at 20/1 to win a penalty and he's 7/2 to be booked. 
Landon Donovan to be sent off is priced at 40/1. I think he will be integral to a USA victory and I think, for him, it's more about arriving late in danger areas than being the man to go one-on-one with the keeper. 
Blue Square has priced the United States at 7/4 to beat Ghana while the African side are priced at 21/10. That's the same price as a draw. Keep in mind that's the 90 minutes market and if you think the match could go to extra-time then you need to be backing the outright qualification odds. 
You'll find the USA short-priced at 4/6 to win the match including extra-time and penalties. Ghana are listed at 11/10 to do the same. 
The over/under on goals is at 1.5 and you'll find the under at 11/8 and the over at 8/15. Over/under 2.5 goals favours the under at a 1.5 price while the over is listed at 6/4.
I think Donovan is going to be key to the United States' effort today, but the biggest variable for me is the defensive units. Neither of these teams boast a world-class defence and will need to stay tight if they are going to keep their teams in it. Discipline is also big here and a red card for either side would be disastrous.
