There have been very few goals in the U20 international tournament in Toulon, shown live on Eurosport.
Today China and Portugal meet and both will qualify from the group stage with a draw.That is what I think the result will be but will cover a little on a chinese victory. Their coach said they suffered from jet lag during their opening fixture and that they would improve.
This they did, with a 2-0 win over well fancied Argentina. Having done the hard part, I expect them to complete the job today.
I have found two teams in French div 3 tonight that are very motivated and face opponents with nothing to play for. So all the football action today takes place in France. However, on the other side of a much bigger pond, I would like to talk a little about a swedish golfer on the US tour.
Fredrik Jacobson is a flamboyant, very talented golfer yet to win on the tour, he does boast a 3rd place finish,a 5th place in the 2003 US Open and $4m in prize money. Makes you wonder why anyone would want to play in America !
Freddie should have won by now, the problem has been his sometimes erratic driving. I think he has addressed this , of course, sods law says that his previously good putting has now gone off a bit but soon he will synchronize both and then, watch out ! Think he will also be motivated by Edfors recent success in Europe, the swedish golfers seem very close, competitive, yet friendly.
He is currently playing in the Bank of America Colonial tournament, yesterday, in the first round his stats made very interesting reading. 1st for driving accuracy, 8th for driving distance and 13th for greens in reg (GIR), his round was let down by taking 31 putts. This is a man who just needs to sink a few, putts that is, not beers. Last year he hit a rich vein of form at around this time, 16th here with 4 rounds at or under 70, followed by a 6th and 17th place in the following two weeks.
I think Freddie will go close to winning shortly,maybe not this week, he is 7 strokes off the lead but you can get circa 550-1 on betfair, for anyone brave enough. He does need a good 2nd round to make the cut, so, if you see any odds I expect him to beat Frost and Azinger comfortably. Do watch out for Fredrik J over the coming weeks.
3 points Bayonne -1/2 1.83 asian line
3 points Tours FC -1/4 1.94 asian line
3 points China-Portugal draw 3.25 bet 365
1 point China 4.50 general
Just a quick note to say the Bilbao- Barcelona game has been moved to saturday, this does not really change my thoughts on the match. All bets stand and I will say a little more tomorrow.
Good Luck.
