USA 2010 World Cup Team

United States Football Team Profile & Form

Football fans around the world sat up and took notice when the United States reached the final of the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa, beating European champions, Spain, and African champions, Egypt along the way.

While the United States football team eventually succumbed 3-2 to Brazil in the final, its performance suggested that this team may have what it takes to score a devastating upset at the 2010 Football World Cup. The USA’s performance during qualifying supports this notion, with the team winning the tough CONACAF qualifying division.

United States World Cup Betting Tip

The United States team has been massively undervalued in the 2010 World Cup antepost betting markets, trading at over 50/1 at most bookmakers. Given that the team beat tournament favourites, Spain, at the Confederations Cup, the United States should provide excellent trading value once the World Cup begins.

Punters betting on the United States during the World Cup should take note of the team’s tendency to get involved in high-scoring games, as well as an under-par defence that rarely manages to keep a clean sheet.
