Earthquakes hope to shake up West against L.A.
Soccer Betting Lines
07/21/2010 -
Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Jose slumped into the World Cup break last
month on a three-game winless streak, but the Earthquakes have resembled their
early-season form since Major League Soccer resumed in late June.
In addition to two ties and a win in its last three MLS games, San Jose took a
break from league play to post an impressive draw against England's Tottenham.
"I'm very impressed with them," Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp said on the MLS
website after the 0-0 draw on Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium.
The Earthquakes (6-4-4) visit the Los Angeles Galaxy on Thursday night at The
Home Depot Center, and midfielder Bobby Convey believes San Jose has no reason
to fear the MLS overall leader.
"Obviously, L.A. is one of the best teams in the league right now. If we can
play against [Tottenham], I don't see why we shouldn't be able to play against
L.A.," Convey, second in MLS with eight assists, said on the MLS website.
San Jose is fifth in the Western Conference, 17 points behind Los Angeles, but
has played fewer matches than every team in the division. The Earthquakes have
played three fewer matches than L.A., and can make another statement in league
play this week.
Coach Frank Yallop has guided the Earthquakes to 22 points already, just eight
less than all of last season in 16 more matches. San Jose has played well away
from home so far, posting a 3-2-2 mark - identical to its home record.
Yallop was extremely pleased with the performance against Tottenham, and hopes
San Jose builds on the result against L.A.
"Obviously this is preseason for [Tottenham] and we know that, but I think a
few years ago you see teams get beat in these types of matches. We're not easy
to beat now," Yallop said on the league's website.
L.A. (12-2-3) has set the standard this season in MLS under Bruce Arena, going
unbeaten at home in seven matches to accumulate the best record in the league.
The Galaxy even survived a stretch without stars Landon Donovan, who leads MLS
with 10 assists, and Edson Buddle, who leads MLS with 11 goals. Both were with
the United States for the World Cup.
L.A. won just one of four matches from June 9 to July 10, the last a 2-0 loss
to the New England Revolution, but Donovan and Buddle both scored Sunday night
as the Galaxy rebounded with a 2-1 win at D.C. United.
"You're going to lose games along the way, and the way you respond in the next
game is important," Arena said. "Our response was really good."

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
