10 to 1? Good value IMO
Before we folded up tent we had plenty of scoring chances against Portugal and don't see this match going 0-0.
If it's tied with 80 minutes gone, I'd be worried but at those odds you should be able to buy back any of your bet during the match if necessary and come out at least even. This years USA team actually has scoring power which is unlike teams of the past.

Wouldn't a do or die money line parlay pay more? On the pick em line even? They will be underdogs throughout the knock out stage, most likely meeting Belgium, Argentina, Holland, then maybe Brazil or even Germany again (in the final). Seems 10 to 1 is lousy value.
I realize brackets are not set of course.

Yeah, it's a long shot, which is why it's at 10 to one odds. I think a small bet would be worth it. US is playing with 1 day less rest, they haven't been playing their best, but they are gritty as always and still find ways to get results. Regardless of the odd game 1 injuries, I still feel they are better conditioned. Germany plays 4 CB's on defense. That is where we will be able to attack them, we have the speed advantage there. Fabian Johnson is playing great ball. Klinsmann also hinted that some fresh bodies will be used. Yedlin anybody? His pace late in the game killed Portugal. That's why I never count them out. Chandler and Brooks, two of the German-Americans could be options. Jones is in beast-mode. If Bradley could somehow find his A-game, there is hope.
I really doubt these teams come out very hard knowing that the draw gets both in and Germany keeps 1st place. They will take chances, but I don't think we are going to see a wide open game. Doesn't seem like a very solid choice imo. And your list of 8...or is it 10 teams is about 4 teams too many.
