Galaxy aims to overcome "12th man" at United

Soccer Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena has plenty of fond memories from RFK Stadium, where he brings his team to face D.C. United on Sunday.

Arena guided United to three successive MLS Cup final appearances, winning two of them, and he will be hoping to leave the nation's capital with three points as the Galaxy tries to extend its lead atop the Western Conference table.

L.A. sits six points clear of Real Salt Lake in the West entering the weekend, but they will be trying to rebound from only their second loss of the season as they fell 2-0 to the New England Revolution last time out.

Both of the teams losses this season have come away from home, and Arena is expecting another tough contest on Sunday at RFK in front of a crowd that he says can act as "a 12th man for D.C. United."

"It's a great environment," he told mlssoccer.com. "When they have a good crowd in that stadium it rocks. Over the years it's gotten beat up a little bit and it is getting on in years, but when you step on the field it's still a special place for a game in MLS."

United will be hoping for a big boost from its home supporters, who have seen just two wins in eight home games this season.

The team is just one point clear of last-place Philadelphia prior to Saturday's action in the Eastern Conference, and they will be playing only a few days after losing 1-0 to Seattle Sounders FC on Thursday.

Roger Levesque scored in the 89th minute for Seattle to hand D.C. only its second loss in seven games, and head coach Curt Onalfo feels as though his side took a step back after making good progress in previous weeks.

"It's the grind of MLS; we took a whole bunch of steps forward, tonight we took a step back," Onalfo told mlssoccer.com following the defeat. "Is it the end of the world? It kind of is in my mind a little bit but we've got to lick our wounds and just keep progressing. We have a big game at home against the Galaxy, which is the best team in Major League Soccer at this point. And like I said earlier in the year, we have to learn from this stuff."

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.
