The Ivory Coast was humbled in their first World Cup appearance. Germany, the top-ranked team in the world, beat up on them 10-0 to earn the three points and get this tournament going strong. Now Ivory Coast has to find a way to get things figured out and come back with a strong effort tonight.
Thailand also got beat up in its first game, but they only lost 4-0 to Norway. Both of these squads today are up against the brink of elimination, because a defeat in this contest all but ends a potential spot in the knockout stage.
Ivory Coast is listed as a comfortable favorite in this one, but the draw option does look appealing. As poorly as these two clubs played in the opener, it's tough to see either one controlling the match long enough to win in regulation time. The total goals expected is set at three, but the over is certainly carrying a lot of juice.
A high-scoring affair could be fun to watch, at least.

Betting and Winning in the WNBA
According to pro handicapper Steve Fezzik, you don't even need to watch WNBA games to successfully bet the sport. He tells fellow handicapper Teddy Covers that the sportsbooks simply don't spend enough time setting good lines on the sport, so just following injury reports, like the one with top player Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury, will tell you what you need to know. Yes, the betting limits for WNBA are low, but the bright side to that is the wise guys leave WNBA alone, giving smaller stakes bettors more opportunities to succeed.
