Looking at the Concacaf World Cup qualifying group table is a strange sight for United States fans currently. Not many would have bet that Honduras would have beaten Jurgen Klinsmann’s men in the opening fixture, however due to the 2-1 defeat the US are rock bottom of the qualifying pool.

The next game is of crucial importance, as back-to-back defeats would allow other nations to get a sizeable advantage over the United States and Klinsmann may then be forced to gamble. Costa Rica are the next opponents for Team USA, with the game to be played on home soil in Denver.

Games like this are very difficult to call; betting on then is very similar to betting on casino games such as baccarat rather than poker. All it takes is a little luck to swing them one way or the other. Sports betting is generally more about tactics, strategy and knowledge than it is about luck, and it gives the opportunity to analyse the sport in depth in order to select a good value bet that makes sports betting so appealing to so many people. But when it is as difficult to call as this, you might be better simply playing casino games at places such as androidcasino.ca. Most sports fans opt to play the more skill-based games such as Poker or to a lesser extent Blackjack, however if you are looking for any football-based casino games where you can aim for a great jackpot, then Soccer Safari slots is a great option. Even if you donít hit a jackpot, then you can at least hope to get a good payout.

The United States’ record against Costa Rica in recent times is abysmal; they have not beaten the Central Americans since 2005. The last five games have resulted in two draws and three defeats for the United States, terrible betting form in anyone’s book. It is now Klinsmann’s job to break this poor run and get his side back in contention to make the tournament in Brazil in 2014.
