Dallas sends Chivas USA to sixth straight loss

Soccer Betting Lines

06/27/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Ferreira converted a penalty kick in the 61st minute, two minutes after Chivas USA erased a first-half own goal, as FC Dallas won 2-1 at The Home Depot Center on Saturday night in MLS.

Ante Jazic turned the ball into his own net off a corner kick in the closing seconds of the opening half but Chivas USA equalized in the 59th through Osael Romero.

Dallas was awarded a penalty kick seconds after the restart, and Ferreira beat Chivas goalie Zach Thornton from the spot for his second goal of the season.

FC Dallas (4-2-6) pushed its undefeated streak to three matches and earned its fifth result on the road in six matches this season. Dallas has two victories and three draws on the road.

Chivas USA (3-9-1) lost its sixth straight game and now trails the Los Angeles Galaxy by 23 points in the Western Conference.

FC Dallas created the only shots on goal through 45 minutes, but Atiba Harris and Brek Shea failed to solve Thornton on their attempts in the 23rd and 42nd minutes, respectively.

Chivas then helped Dallas break through just seconds before half as Ferreira's corner kick was directed past Thornton by Jazic. Both teams crowded the six- yard box, and with Shea pressuring Jazic, the ball bounced off him and inside the left post.

Ferreira created another chance for Dallas seven minutes into the second half, but with Dario Delgado defending, could only put a shot wide of the left post.

Chivas countered, and Jesus Padilla forced Kevin Hartmann into his first save of the match. Chivas then leveled the game five minutes later, when Romero won a header just in front of Hartmann to score his first MLS goal.

Mariano Trujillo swung a cross in from the right, and Romero reached the ball just before Hartmann to direct the ball over the goalie and just under the bar in the 59th.

But before Chivas could finish celebrating its goal, Michael Umana took down Marvin Chavez in the area and Dallas was awarded a penalty kick.

Ferreira drilled the spot kick into the upper left with Thornton going to the right, and Dallas restored its lead in the 61st minute - less than two minutes after Chivas equalized.

Romero took a free kick in the 72nd for Chivas, but it was deflected well off target for a corner that the California club also failed to take advantage of.

Romero forced a strong save from Hartmann in the 77th, but Chivas struggled to create more chances over the final minutes as Dallas held on.

Chivas USA hosts the Philadelphia Union Dallas hosts the Kansas City Wizards on July 3, when both teams resume MLS play.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
