U.S. Soccer gives Bradley four-year extension

Soccer Betting Lines

08/30/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The United States men's national soccer team has announced a four-year contract extension for head coach Bob Bradley.

The 52-year-old Bradley engineered the U.S. to an unbeaten mark in group play at this year's World Cup, marking the first time the American men have finished at the top of their group in 80 years. Team USA lost to Ghana, 2-1, in extra time in their first match of the second round.

The contract extension means Bradley will be at the helm for the Americans for their run through qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Bradley has compiled a record of 38-21-8 in four years for the U.S. squad. He holds a 10-1-1 mark in Gold Cup matches, including winning the 2007 tournament.

They also reached the championship match of the 2009 Confederations Cup after a 2-0 victory against then top-ranked and current World Cup champions Spain in the semifinal. The Americans then lost to Brazil in the final, but the second- place finish was the best ever for the U.S. men at a FIFA tournament.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
