Tough tests for home nations

Posted on by

Much of tomorrow’s focus will be on England’s clash with Italy, but there is an entire programme of international fixtures to look forward to, including an intriguing test for Northern Ireland, who are 13/8 to beat Finland.

Michael O’Neill’s men head into the home clash at Windsor Park in torrid form, having lost their last five international matches.

Finland, meanwhile, have lost just twice on their last five outings and were surprise winners against Turkey less than three months ago.

It is surprising, then, that the Scandinavian outfit are also locked on odds of 13/8 to win the game, as they appear have the edge in form.

Northern Ireland are placed 101 in the latest FIFA World Rankings, with Finland, who will look towards Rubin Kazan hitman Alexei Eremenko for goals, sitting at a more respectable 72.

The draw is available at 9/4, but a price of 13/8 on a Finland win is too good to ignore.

Elsewhere, Scotland welcome Australia to Easter Road on Wedneday evening for an encounter that has the potential to go either way.

The Scots’ recent form has been inconsistent, although there was nothing uncertain about the manner in which the USA went about dismantling Craig Levein’s men in their last match three months ago.

Australia are without a win since February, with their last two matches against Oman and Japan finishing all square.

It’s unsurprising, then, that so little separates the two teams in the match betting, though Scotland are the slight favourites at 6/4, ahead of Australia at 7/4.

But given the Socceroos’ knack for stalemates in recent months, the draw market at 23/10 is probably the real value option here.

With both teams likely to feature players who will have their own upcoming domestic commitments weighing on their shoulders, it’s unlikely that either set of players will have the drive to take this contest by the scruff of the neck.

Wales are another of our home nations who will play on home soil on Wednesday evening as they welcome the often unpredictable Bosnia-Herzegovina outfit to Parc y Scarlets.

The Welsh are without a win in two following disappointing home defeats to Costa Rica and Mexico, where they failed to score on either occasion, while their Eastern European opponents have also found it tough in recent months, crashing to defeat in each of their last five matches, albeit against strong opposition.

The trip to Wales for Bosnia-Herzegovina is followed by European Qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Latvia, and Safet Susic’s men will undoubtedly be eyeing a hat-trick of wins.

Chris Coleman’s Welsh Dragons will be aiming to extinguish that dream at the first hurdle, but with both teams priced at 13/8, the former Fulham boss, preparing for his first qualification campaign as national coach, will be anticipating a close contest.

The price of 9/4 on a draw again offers good value for money, but both teams have incentives to win this one, and home advantage under a coach who is keen to impress may just be enough to see Wales home.

The last of our home nations, Republic of Ireland, will be aiming to dispel memories of an arduous Euro 2012 campaign when they head east to face Serbia, who themselves will be keen to prove a point after failing to qualify for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.

Serbia are the strong 5/6 favourites for this game, with a confidence-low Ireland priced at 10/3 to salvage some pride at the end of a tough summer campaign.

The draw at 5/2 offers would be a reasonable pick depending on conditions, but it’s tough to see past a comfortable victory for Serbia in this one, with a 2-0 scorecast at 13/2 offering particularly good value.

Four things we learnt

Posted on by
Reply

While many of us are suffering from post-Olympic Games depression, there is light at the end of the tunnel with plenty more sporting action to come. You might have missed what has been happening outside the London 2012 bubble so it’s time to catch up and prepare for what is to come. We take a look at what we can take from this weekend’s non-Olympic sport.

1. Chelsea someway off title challenge

Chelsea have regained their tag as the Premier League’s big spenders this summer following the arrivals of Eden Hazard, Marko Marin and Oscar. As such the Blues have been branded as potential dark horse for a title challenge, with Roberto Di Matteo tipped to repeat his trick of leading the team to glory after success in the Champions League and FA Cup.

However, based on Sunday’s Community Shield, Di Matteo has a big job on if he is to secure Chelsea a third Premier League crown. Manchester City looked a class above the Blues and a lack of strength in depth across the backline is an issue Di Matteo needs to address quickly if they are to avoid another sixth-placed finish. For now it looks as though it will be a transitional season for the 9/2 shots for the title and City, at 5/4, look to be the team to beat this season.

2. No time for KP antics for England

Is any one man bigger than the team? If you are asking Kevin Pietersen he would probably say yes. The talented batsman seems to have well and truly got on the ECB’s bad side for his antics during the last Test against South Africa and has been made to pay. His exclusion from the squad for the last Test is a real statement from the selectors that they aren’t prepared to put up with a player who isn’t a team player.

With the series and their status as number one Test team on the line in the last match at Lord’s, the decision to drop Pietersen is a big one. South Africa look to have the bit between their teeth and England could find themselves up against it, especially if Jonny Bairstow’s poor form in the Test arena continues. England are 9/10 to win the last Test, with the Proteas 3/4.

3. McIlroy finding form at right time

It might seem strange to say Rory McIlroy is hitting form at the right time given there are no more majors left to play for. However, if you are hoping Europe do the business at the Ryder Cup again then Sunday’s fantastic US PGA Championship success was a welcome boost. The Europeans are 5/4 to win the Ryder Cup at the Medinah Country Club and will need McIlroy to be on top of his game if they are to repeat the success of Celtic Manor.

The Northern Irishman suffered an alarming slump in form earlier this year but showed how good he could be by lifting the US PGA Championship, his second Major title. With the Americans having enjoyed a good comeback year on the major front, McIlroy will be key to Jose Maria Olazabal’s team.

4. Djokovic rediscovers winning formula

After a difficult couple of months for Novak Djokovic he got a much needed win under his belt at the Toronto Masters. The world number two might not have an Olympic medal to show for his efforts at London 2012 but if he can retain his US Open title at the end of the month the tennis fraternity won’t care.

The Serb destroyed the field in Canada and at 15/8 looks a good bet to win the Western & Southern Open this week, even with Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro in the field.

Foxes to take down Gulls

Posted on by
Reply

There will once again be plenty of expectation on Leicester City this term and it will be interesting to see how they get on when they get their campaign underway with a trip to Plainmoor to face Torquay United in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday (Torquay 3/1, draw 11/4, Leicester 5/6 Match Betting).

Over the past couple of seasons plenty of money has been spent at the King Power Stadium to sign the likes of Paul Konchesky and Jermaine Beckford, to name just a few players lured away from the Premier League.

Manager Nigel Pearson does have a very strong squad at his disposal and the introduction of Ritchie De Laet and Zak Whitbread to the defence this summer will make life difficult for Torquay, who will have to be at their best to catch the Foxes off guard.

There is bound to be some upsets on Tuesday night in the first round of the competition but it looks highly unlikely one will come at Plainmoor, with Leicester looking set to be too strong for the League Two outfit.

Cardiff City are another side who have splashed the cash recently and their latest recruitment of Craig Bellamy from Liverpool shows their intent ahead of their cup clash with Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium (Northampton 10/3, draw 13/5, Cardiff 4/5 Match Betting).

The introduction of Heidar Helguson up front alongside Bellamy would be a potent combination which should cause the Cobblers all sorts of problems on Tuesday night.

Northampton boss Aidy Boothroyd may be able to get his side battling for promotion from League Two at the end of the season but they look set for a very early exit from the Capital One Cup.

Derby County are preparing to host Scunthorpe United at Pride Park on Tuesday, with the Irons more than capable of causing an upset if the Rams are not on their guard (Derby 8/11, draw 11/4, Scunthorpe 7/2 Match Betting).

Having come through a disappointing campaign in the Championship last term, manager Nigel Clough has lost defender Jason Shackell this summer and has been limited on the quality of players he can bring to the East Midlands outfit.

Scunthorpe have brought in American striker Mike Grella this summer and the former Leeds United forward has the ability to cause the Derby defence problems.

There is no reason why Scunthorpe can’t cause an upset here and they might just be able to get one over on Derby at Pride Park.

Championship promotion contenders Birmingham City are another team that have high expectations on their shoulders this season and they host Barnet in what should be another good game to prepare for the start of the league campaign (Birmingham 2/5, draw 7/2, Barnet Match Betting).

With a new manager, Lee Clark, at the helm in his biggest job to date, he will be looking to get a winning momentum going at St Andrews and they should have no problem in seeing off League Two Barnet to book their place in the second round of the Capital One Cup.

Minnows eye League Cup upsets

Posted on by
Reply

Football League newboys Fleetwood are among three sides who hope to cause an upset in the Capital One Cup first round on Monday evening and following a weekend of shocks in the competition, the scope is there for further surprises.

Fleetwood’s first ever League Cup tie could not be much bigger, with two-time European champions Nottingham Forest the visitors to Highbury Stadium (Match Betting – Fleetwood 5/2, draw 13/5, Forest 4/5).

Boss Micky Mellon has been busy over the summer, bringing in 11 players in an attempt to establish the club in League Two. The likes of Youl Mawene, David Ball, Conor McLaughlin and Jon Parkin could all make their debut on Monday evening.

Forest, who staved off the threat of relegation from the Championship last term, have also been busy in the transfer market following their take-over by Kuwaiti businessman Fawaz Al Hasawi.

Adlene Guedioura, Danny Collins, Greg Halford, Dan Harding, Simon Gillett and Daniel Ayala have all been snapped up by Sean O’Driscoll, who replaced Steve Cotterill soon after the takeover.

With so many new faces on show it is tricky for the punter to pick a winner, though Forest’s Championship status means they are 4/5 favourites. However, Fleetwood have crucial momentum following their promotion and this could be the stage to announce their arrival as a league club in style. A 2-1 Fleetwood win is priced at a tempting 12/1.

Sheffield Wednesday and Oldham were in the same division last season, but Wednesday’s dramatic last day promotion to the Championship in May means they now occupy the position of giants in this fixture (Match Betting – Oldham 13/5 draw 5/2, Sheff Wed Evs).

That promotion was the culmination of a sharp rise in form under boss Dave Jones, who took over at the start of March and did not lose a match for the rest of the campaign, the club eventually finishing second behind champions Charlton.

Like Fleetwood, that momentum, which has seen them win 11 and draw three since losing to Chesterfield on February 18, means they should be confident, even with Oldham’s home advantage.

However, Latics fans will point to a 2-1 pre-season friendly win over champions Manchester City as cause for optimism and you have to wonder whether Wednesday’s minds will be focused on the cup, when a good start back in the Championship is so important.

For that reason, a narrow 1-0 Oldham win is worth considering and priced at a tantalising 15/2.

Huddersfield and Preston are two other sides who were both in League One last season (Match Betting – Preston 15/8, draw 12/5, Huddersfield 11/8), but the Terriers grabbed the final promotion spot following a dramatic penalty shoot-out win against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley in May.

It wasn’t too long ago that Preston were a Championship side pushing for promotion to the top flight, but a turbulent few seasons both on and off the pitch saw them go through four managers in five years, drop into League One and finish in a lowly 15th last season.

Manager Graham Westley, who replaced Phil Brown in February, has attempted to revamp the squad over the summer, bringing in 13 new players. This ‘new-look’ Preston may have enough to cause a surprise, given Town will be without several key players due to international call-ups.

One of those players is prolific striker Jordan Rhodes, who scored 40 goals last season and has been linked with a summer move to Premier League.

However, the jury is still out on Westley and Preston and the far more settled Huddersfield squad should have enough to progress in this one. A 2-0 Town win is priced at 10/1.

Россия – Бразилия и США – Испания – последние финальные матчи Олимпиады! Ставки на матч «Манчестер Сити» – «Челси»!

Олимпиада. Лондон-2012

Баскетбол. Финал. Мужчины

США – Испания. Как не парадоксально это прозвучит, но пока самый упорный матч сборная США провела на Олимпийских играх против сборной Литвы, котораяDurant basket 1 300x199 Россия Бразилия и США Испания последние финальные матчи Олимпиады! Ставки на матч Манчестер Сити Челси! уже запаковала чемоданы на этом турнире.

При этом сборная России уверенно переиграла сборную Литвы, а Испания, пускай и со второй попытки обыграла Россию, но это совершенно не означает, что Испания 11.00 сегодня сможет навязать борьбу США. Эх, если бы был в составе Испании был Рикки Рубио, то еще можно было надеяться на борьбу, сейчас же всем тем кто даже не переживает за Испанию, а просто болеет против США 1.02 остается уповать только на чудо. Этим чудом может стать уверенная игра передней линии, в лице братьев Газолей и Сержа Ибаки, так как только в игре «больших» Испания хоть как-то может нащупать ключи к успеху.

Вообще же для победы над США для Испании потребуется сочетание множества факторов, которые по мановению волшебной палочки должны сойтись в одну точку: собственная идеальная игра, недонастрой сборной США, плюс у «звездно-полосатых» должен не пойти бросок, это все естественно будет происходить на фоне феерической игры испанцев в защите.

Но вот фору +20.5 очков в пользу Испании можно и попробовать.

Волейбол. Финал. Мужчины

Россия – Бразилия. На всем протяжении турнира сборная России потерпела всего одно поражение, но как вы догадываетесь было оно нанесено именно ребятами с пляжей Копакабаны, а как принято в старой русской пословице «долг платежом красен».

И если разобраться, то  сборной России есть «чем платить». В первой встрече по причине травмы не участвовал Максим Михайлов, а он в нынешнем составе сборной, что-то хоккейного вратаря – половина команды.
Да и то поражение хоть и произошло в трех партиях, но не отображало полного расклада сил, так что если вы хотите с еще большими эмоциями посмотреть этот прекрасный матч, то без сомнений ставьте на победу сборной России!

Футбол. Суперкубок Англии.

Манчестер Сити – Челси. Этот матч предназначен для тех, кому надоела Олимпиада и хочет посмотреть не молодежный, а самый настоящий футбол! Сомнений в том, что оба клуба будут его показывать – нет! Вот только исход в нем совершенно непонятен.

В любом случае «МС» 2.20 захочет продолжить пополнение трофеями клубного музея, а «Челси» 3.20 с этим явно не согласится. Все это действо может легко закончится ничьей в основное время.

Hearts set for derby honours

Posted on by
Reply

The Scottish Premier League throws up its first big clash of the season on Sunday, as Edinburgh giants Hibernian and Hearts get set to battle for the bragging rights of the capital at Easter Road (Hibernian 9/4, draw 9/4, Hearts 5/4 – Match Betting).

Hearts got their campaign off to a strong start last weekend as they breezed past St Johnstone at Tynecastle with a 2-0 victory.

A goal from John Sutton from the penalty spot and a late finish from highly rated attacker David Templeton was enough to give the Jambos the three points in an accomplished performance from manager John McGlynn’s men.

Templeton (9/1 – First Goalscorer) managed to win the penalty in the first half before scoring a goal of his own in the second and justified why plenty of clubs in the Championship south of the border have been linked with the 23-year-old.

With Glasgow Rangers dropping out of the SPL, Hearts certainly have a great chance to establish themselves as the second best side in the Scottish top flight behind the undoubted winners of the competition this term – Celtic.

McGlynn will have been pleased with the win over Saints but it will be a completely different challenge when they take on their old rivals on Sunday.

Hibernian had an opening day of the season to forget, as they were thumped 3-0 on the road at Dundee United last Sunday.

Manager Pat Fenlon will have had plenty to work on in training over the last week but he certainly won’t have to get his squad geared up for this Edinburgh derby which should produce a superb atmosphere at Easter Road.

Leigh Griffiths (13/2 – First Goalscorer) up front for Hibs will be a player the Hearts defence will have to keep their eye on and although he did not open his goalscoring account against Dundee United, he will be a threat on Sunday.

Hibs will be boosted with the news that Alan Maybury  and Gary Deegan could make their debuts for the club in the fiery atmosphere of the derby, which will certainly be a baptism of fire for the Irish pair.

Danny Galbraith is set to miss the game, as the winger still needs time to get back up to full match fitness having gone under the knife to rectify a groin injury.

As for Hearts (25/1 – SPL Outright) they will still be without Jamie Hamill, who is recovering from a knee injury, but do welcome back the suspended Danny Grainger who missed the win over St Johnstone but should feature this weekend.

The fact this is a derby will make it a closer affair than it should be and it’s hard to judge at this early stage of the season how this one will pan out.

But based on their contrasting opening days of the season, and with the likes of Sutton and Templeton in their ranks, it looks like the Maroon half of Edinburgh will be cheering at the final whistle.

Анна Чичерова – прыгнет выше всех? Ставки на матч ЦСКА – Анжи!

Олимпиада. Лондон-2012

Легкая Атлетика

Предпоследний день олимпиады наполнен финалами в разных легкоатлетических областях. Например,london stadium 300x188 Анна Чичерова прыгнет выше всех? Ставки на матч ЦСКА Анжи! Анна Чичерова 1.60 в секторе для прыжков является главным фаворитом этих соревнований. Основные соперницы в лице Шонте Ховард Лоуи 13.00 из США конечно постараются ей помешать, но это маловероятно. Составить ей конкуренцию сможет еще и Светална Школина 19.00 произойти это правда может только в случае какого-то редкостного невезения со стороны Чичеровой.

800 метров. Женщины

Параллельно этому будет проходить финал забега на 800 метров у женщин. Тут фавориткой соревнований является скандальная бегунья Кастер Семения 1.75, пересуды по поводу этой спортсменки не закончатся до конца ее карьеры, но пока не доказано обратного, она будет участвовать в женской сетки соревнований. Попытаться обогнать ее могут только Мария Савинова 3.60 из России и Памело Джелимо 5.50 из Кении. Но как мне кажется, госпожа Семения и в этот раз продолжит коллекционировать первые места.

Футбол. Чемпионат России. Премьер-лига

ЦСКА – Анжи. Команды подходят к этой игре с совершенно разным настроением. «Анжи» 3.60 остается вторым клубом в «Премьер-лиге», который до сих пор не познал горечь поражений, и этот матч можете стать определяющим для статуса махачкалинцев, которые могут стать основными преследователями «Зенита».

У ЦСКА 1.95 совсем другие цели, так как после двух поражений с общей разницей 6:2 слухи уверенно отправляют в отставку Леонида Слуцкого, но пока российский специалист остается у руля «армейского клуба», а ЦСКА в свою очередь остается на 14-м месте. В этой встрече все еще не сможет принять участие Алан Дзагоев, который решением КДК был дисквалифицирован на три встречи, после матче в Перми, но хотя бы Сергей Игнашевич вернется в строй – это уже немало.

У махачкалинцев прекрасную форму набрал Самюэль Это`О о чем свидетельствуют два мяча в ворота Витесса в последнем матче, а если учесть, что «Анжи» еще и не пропускает на протяжении последних 270 минут, то мы видим, что Гус Хиддинк вдет свою команду в верном направлении.

Хоть матч и играется в Москве, но думаю, задавать тон в ней будут гости, и я совершенно не удивлюсь, если «Анжи» выиграет и в этом матче, а Леонид Слуцкий станет еще на шаг ближе к отставке…

Di Matteo under pressure to deliver

Posted on by
Reply

Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo will be eager to pick up his first trophy of the new season when the Blues face Manchester City (5/4 to win) in the Community Shield at Villa Park on Sunday.

The Italian manager has endured a poor summer warm-up with the Blues and will want to show owner Roman Abromavich that he was right to back the Italian and silence any doubters.

Usually pre-season form is not studied with too much scrutiny, but defeats to the MLS All Stars, AC Milan and Brighton have put unwanted pressure on Di Matteo.

The FA Cup holders can be backed at 10/1 to claim a slim 1-0 victory against City and it would be a score line that Di Matteo would welcome.

Both teams have a lot to play for, but with only one new signing likely to be amongst the 22 players to walk out in the August sunshine the form suggests City will be the team with the upper-hand.

The Stamford Bridge club are likely to give Eden Hazard his first taste of competitive football in the UK, and the £32million Belgian playmaker can be backed at 8/1 to be the first on the score sheet. New Brazilian recruit Oscar will be unavailable due to Olympic duty.

John Terry and Gary Cahill are likely to line-up as the centre-half pairing and City boss Roberto Mancini will be keen to see if his strike force can penetrate the Engand duo.

The 47-year-old manager is under a self-imposed pressure to deliver.

In the build up to the clash between the league and cup champions, the Italian – who oversaw City’s first league title in 44 years – has lamented the club’s lack of transfer activity and heaped praise on their title rivals.

The Eastlands club will see Hazard in action against them, a player they wanted, while they appear to have lost out on the chance to sign Arsenal’s Robin van Persie to rivals Manchester United.

However, Carlos Tevez – 33/1 to score a hat-trick – and Sergio Aguero – 5/1 to score first – will be form a formidable forward pairing.

Despite saying that United are favourites for the forthcoming Premier League, Mancini will be determined to lay down a marker – and then let the mind games begin.

City are 11/1 to pick up a 2-0 victory and that looks like a decent bet considering Chelsea’s pre-season stutters.

Mario Balotelli, who featured in the Euro 2012 final, will most probably start on the bench but the enigmatic 21-year-old – who Paris Saint-Germain are keen on signing – is 13/8 to score at any time. With his tendency to net in big games, that could be a shrewd wager.

Samir Nasri, who scored the last time the two clubs met – a 2-1 victory to City in the Premier League – is 3/1 to grab a goal.

Juve to win in tough circumstances

Posted on by
Reply

Serie A champions Juventus and Coppa Italia winners Napoli go head-to-head in the Supercoppa Italiana in Beijing on Saturday, but the curtain-raiser looks set to be overshadowed by Antonio Conte’s 10-month ban for match-fixing (Juventus evens, draw 21/10, Napoli 12/5 after 90 Minutes).

The Juventus coach was banned today for failing to report match-fixing while in charge of Siena during the 2010-2011 campaign.

Conte had a plea bargain deal rejected by the Italian federation earlier this month, a proposal which would have seen him serve a three-month suspension and pay a large fine.

Grosseto and Lecce have both been excluded from the second tier this season, while Conte’s assistant, Angelo Alessio, has been banned for eight months.

It is another stain on the Italian game and Juve will have to put the matter to one side quickly if they want to begin the new campaign with a bang (13/2 – Juventus to win 2-0).

Massimo Carrera will replace Conte on an interim basis and he inherits a side which swept all before them on their way to the Serie A title last term.

Going through a season unbeaten is almost unheard of, but is a feat Juve achieved. That record alone is remarkable. However, it is the goals against column which stands out the most.

Marshalled by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Juve conceded just 20 goals in 38 games. Opposing strikers were sick of the sight of the likes of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci by the end of the season.

Juventus did not have things all their own way – 15 draws suggests a lack of a ruthless side at times. They were also, of course, beaten in the final game of the season by tomorrow’s opponents.

Napoli won their first major trophy in 22 years and denied Juventus the double by beating the Turin giants 2-0 in the Italian Cup final in May.

Edinson Cavani inspired the surprise victory that day and he will feature for Napoli this weekend, despite mounting speculation over a move to England.

He will be key to their hopes in China (13/2 – Napoli to win 1-0), particularly in the absence of Ezequiel Lavezzi, who made the switch to big-spending Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer.

Napoli missed out on a return to the Champions League last term. They have added to their squad in a bid to improve on their fifth-place finish. Valon Behrami and Goran Pandev are among those to make the switch to Naples. However, Napoli will struggle to match the achievements of recent years.

Conversely, Juventus look stronger than last season, despite the controversy surrounding their manager. The signings of Martin Caceres and Lucio will make them even more difficult to beat, while exciting youngsters Paul Pogba and Kwadwo Asamoah give them added flair.

Juventus will be keen to show they are united in the face of the latest scandal, while gunning for revenge for May’s cup heartache.

Napoli are always a dangerous outfit, but expect Juventus to dig deep and win the first silverware of the season (11/5 Half-time/Full-time – Juventus/Juventus).

Ставки на матч Россия – Испания!

Олимпиада. Лондон-2012

Баскетбол

Россия – Испания. Эти сборные уже встречались всего несколько дней назад, и тогда Испания 1.40 была в статусе фаворита,GB Russia KirilenkoOG копия 300x188 Ставки на матч Россия Испания! а сборная России была лишь «темной лошадкой», которая показала красивый баскетбол в первых трех встречах и продемонстрировала, что Виталий Фридзон может вполне претендовать на статус  клатч шуттера. Не подумайте, что я сторонник американизмов в русском языке, но такое понятие охарактеризовывает игрока значительно проще и быстрей, чем долгое описание под названием «игрок, у которого нервная система, как морские канаты и он может забросить трехочковый на последних секундах матча». Так вот перед игрой с Испанией на групповом этапе все эксперты склонялись к мнению, что с трудом, но победит Испания. И надо сказать начало матча для россиян было просто «кошмарным сном»…

Первые 4-5 минут матча просто повергли в шок, казалось, что играет команда НБА с командой из ДЮСШ, так как проигрывать 18 очков в начале первой четверти – это перебор… Но Дэвид Блатт даже в такой ситуации не запаниковал и начал заниматься тем, что отличает его от просто хороших тренеров. Если игра не пошла Алексея Шведа, то он выставит Антона Понкрашова, если Андрея Кириленко испанцы накрывают вдвоем, то мы сделаем акцент в атаке на Виталия Фридзона и так во всем. Плюс Саша Каун и Тимофей Мозгов смогли справиться с братьями Газолями, которые играли хорошо, только пока их не прихватили плотно в защите.

В итоге эта встреча явно войдет в историческую хронику сборной России, как пример идеальной игры в той ситуации, когда в начале матча у вас не идет ничего… Ну а после того, как Испания сознательно ( и попытайтесь меня переубедить в обратном) проиграла Бразилии лишь бы не встречаться с США в полуфинале, «оранжевый мяч» не может быть на их стороне.

Самым главным преимуществом сборной России 2.75 является командная игра, в этом компоненте Россия лучшая на этом чемпионате. Но «тузом в рукаве» для нее остается ее тренер. Дэвид Блатт по всем статьям переиграл Скариоло в пером матче, и я не вижу ни одной предпосылки, чтобы он не сделал это еще раз.

Матч завершится в пользу сборной России.
