Mexicans -.5 -350 vs North Korea

Game is in Torreon Mexico, wherever the hell that is. Mexico does not tend to screw up home games and North Korea is a fish way out of water. Mexico probably looks insanely wealthy and distracting to the North Koreans. And I think Mexico is, well, way better and they are playing pretty well.

Nice call- Mexico will not lose at home. Personally, I'm pounding it hard.
I predict a 4-1 score

After placing my wager i realized that they probably dont have entire squad with guys playing in europe, etc. Still, they have this local guy named Chicharito that will capitalize tonite. I'm a US fan, but this looks solid.

Very dangerous to play these friendlies without knowledge of who's playing IMO. For international friendlies I believe the rule of thumb should be take the dog or pass.

"Mexico used the match to try out uncapped players with Blanco and goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa among a handful of players for Mexico sure of being in the World Cup squad."

Brutal play, but a winner no less.

N Korea is not used to simple things like airplane travel or traveling halfway around the world and then playing well. They dont get out much.

One wonders how they ever managed to score a goal.

Mexico plays with intense national pride, "friendly" match or not, especially at home. This was a world cup warm-up where players want to impress their coach and get a spot on the team.The 2 goalscorers are prime examples. Game could have been 5-1. I'd bet it again tomorrow.

OK- We got another world cup warm-up game tomorrow. Mexico vs. Iceland in Carolina. Big mexican population- 60,000 seats sold already. Iceland ranked 91st by FIFA, Mexico only bringing their first string goalie. Line is Mexico -1.5 under 3. I don't see Iceland scoring a goal. What do you think?
I go back and forth with either Mexico or the under right now-still studying.

I'm going with Mexico -1.5 (even). i see a 4-0 result. Mexico's goalie will not let a goal in after his mistake last game.
