World Cup Soccer Results See Few Betting Surprises - 06-22-06
June 22 - World Cup results went largely according to betting odds on Wednesday although casual soccer fans were probably surprised to see the USA beaten by Ghana, and Australia battle through to the last 16.
On the same day there were facile wins for Brazil and Italy, ensuring that the two teams will not face each other in the last 16. That's bad news for Ghana and Australia respectively, although the two nations are just thrilled to have qualified against popular expectations.
By the time Australia played Croatia they had shown they were for real, and the 2-2 draw between two very physical teams was almost expected.
In the biggest game of the day, Ghana knocked out USA winning with ease. The game was a top pick of the day on Mycapper.com, a sports handicapping service that is making clients plenty of loot with their world cup soccer picks. Mycapper thought that Ghana at +120 to win their game was the best bet on the card, and it played out that way.
Italy were too strong for the Czech Republic and Brazil overhwhelmed Japan 4-1 after going behind 1-0 in a shock start.
