Soccer World Cup Play 06/20: Ecuador vs. Honduras

Soccer World Cup Play: Ecuador vs. Honduras

I’ve made a small preview about this Honduras team in the first game vs. France (had a top play w/ the French):

“Honduras is one the worst teams of this tournament… they are brutal physically! Their latest friendly game against England was noticed worldwide due to extreme aggressive behavior of Honduras (http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/08/england-complain-horrific-tackles-honduras). They benefited from the fact that it was a friendly game and usually, the referees are more cautions and are allergic to show yellow cards in those types of games…

However, not only this won’t happen in a World Cup tournament but also, FIFA and the appointed referee are identified w/ this usual style of play of Honduras and won’t allowed such approach – some bookings are expected to be shown to Honduras and obviously, it will hurt Honduras’ chances of being competitive.”

Plain and simple… after watching their first game vs. France (one player was sent off @1st Half), we can be pretty sure that FIFA won’t allow such physicality to happen.

I had a play w/ Ecuador that was lost in the last minute of the game vs. Switzerland. Ecuador showed some good tempo and they used their wings quite well. It was a classic game where both teams could have won the game w/ the draw being the fair result.

It is clear for me that we are dealing w/ two different teams quality-wise! I’m not saying that Ecuador is an A-type, far from that… but Honduras is really the worst team in this World Cup!

The price isn’t that appellative for Ecuador, but there is still some value w/ them today.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Ecuador ML @ -146 / 1.68 on 5 Dimes
