A lot of money coming in on the USA this morning from overseas bettors. Portugal will push hard for the 3 points and I don't see the USA team packing it in so I'm expecting a wide open match with lots of chances for both sides. The over 2.5 goals is a good bet.

The sportsbooks are expecting a draw for Germany/USA on Thursday since a draw will send both teams through to the knockout stage. The odds for the draw are ridiculously low, but I don't see Germany taking a chance and playing conservatively, because if Ghana wins and the USA wins (fluke goal, penalty, whatever), then Germany is out. That's too much risk to take.
I like Germany to win outright. Under any other circumstances these odds would be twice what you can get them at today.
