Barca's Valdes could make Spain's Cup team

Soccer Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona goalie Victor Valdes has been given hope by national team coach Vicente Del Bosque that he could yet earn a place in Spain's squad for the World Cup finals.

The 28-year-old has yet to win a senior cap for his country, with Real Madrid goalie Iker Casillas and Liverpool goalie Jose Reina standing in his way, but Del Bosque is well aware of Valdes' qualities.

"The doors to the national team are not closed to any player," Del Bosque told Veo Marca. "Valdes has been in great form and I know that he helped Barcelona to win all those trophies last season.

"There is strong competition and, at the moment, I have not found the need to call him up because we have great keepers.

"But he needs to keep working hard and continue to play well, because nobody has yet been excluded."

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
