Kirovski Year Disable Claim At Hughes

Soccer Betting Lines

Villarreal, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Villarreal claimed three big points on Monday at the Madrigal with a 3-0 victory over Sporting Gijon which snaps a six-game winless streak for the club. Villarreal had dropped four of its last six games and entered the match in 19th place. However, a goal from Marco Ruben in the 57th minute broke a scoreless tie before Borja Valero finished off a pass from Angel Lopez one minute later to double the advantage.

 

The loss is the fifth in seven games for Sporting Gijon and drops the club to 19th place.

 

Kirovski was the first American to sign with Manchester United when he joined the club's youth ranks in 1992, but left the club without ever appearing in a game in 1996.

 

At Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Kirovski became the first American to win the Champions League. He also played for FC Koln in Germany, Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, and Crystal Palace and Birmingham City in England while in Europe.

 

"Jovan is a very experienced guy, he knows our club and he knows the way that we do things," L.A. manager Bruce Arena said. "He has prepared himself to get into coaching and I think that it will be a good transition for him and he will be a great addition to our staff."

 

The 19-year-old is one of Europe's hottest properties and has been rumored to be on the radar of several big clubs. He has recorded five goals in 14 Bundesliga games this season and has notched 12 caps for Germany.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Soccer announced Tuesday that the 2012 All-Star Game will be played at PPL Park, the home of the Philadelphia Union, on July 25 with the opponent yet to be revealed. It is the first time in a decade that the city of Philadelphia won its bid to host an All-Star Game, its most recent league showcase coming in 2002 with the National Basketball Association.

 

MLS Commissioner Don Garber made the announcement at City Hall along with Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter, City of Chester Mayor John Linder, and Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz.

 

"Major League Soccer has chosen to host this year's All-Star Game at PPL Park with good reason," said Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter. "The Philadelphia region is centrally located, growing in population and has a rich sports culture. The Philadelphia Union have quickly enhanced Philly's sports traditions with the most dedicated MLS fan base in the nation. I have no doubt there will be a fantastic turnout for this year's festivities."

 

The MLS All-Stars have played Manchester United for the past two seasons, losing to the English giants 5-1 at Reliant Stadium in 2010 and 4-0 at Red Bull Arena in 2011. The opponent for this year's game will be announced at a later date.

 

London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chelsea revealed the extent of Frank Lampard's injury Tuesday, stating that the midfielder is unlikely to feature for the Blues in Saturday's FA Cup clash against QPR after scans showed a slight tear in his calf. Lampard sustained the injury in Chelsea's scoreless draw with Norwich City on Saturday and was taken off the pitch after only 36 minutes.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
