00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Finishing out the breakdown for the USA Women's World Cup
00:06 game today against Vietnam.
00:09 But one thing I do want to kind of point out here,
00:12 we do not know the starting 11 yet for this game.
00:16 This is a very, very talented team here.
00:19 And the USA has a number of options.
00:23 Megan Rapinoe is someone that I've seen people say,
00:26 will she start?
00:28 Kind of what's the best move for her?
00:29 Because they can ease into this.
00:31 You're always respectful of your opponent.
00:33 But this is a massive, massive advantage
00:37 here for the USA Women's team, the best
00:39 team in the world against a Vietnam squad that
00:41 is ranked 32nd in the world.
00:43 It's respectable, right?
00:45 They're not down there in the 60s and 70s kind
00:49 of of the entire thing.
00:51 But overall, it's still a massive mismatch there.
00:55 And when you get that starting 11,
00:56 that's going to matter to how you shape things up.
01:00 With that in mind, Trinity Rodman
01:03 is someone that does interest me a little bit at plus 600
01:06 to lead Team USA in scoring for this tournament,
01:10 and then transition that to a 19 to 1 price
01:14 to lead the tournament overall.
01:16 Odds are it'll be a USA player.
01:19 At least the odds suggest it'll be an American to lead
01:22 this tournament in scoring.
01:24 Trinity Rodman in this game, even if she doesn't start,
01:28 if the second half of this is kind of all hell breaks loose
01:31 and Alex Morgan only plays the first half,
01:34 Trinity Rodman could be the biggest benefactor here.
01:37 And as this tournament goes on, there
01:39 is a world where Rodman supplants Morgan up front.
01:44 Morgan has the experience to start
01:47 in the open of this tournament, which
01:49 is exactly what you expect.
01:50 But as this goes on, you could see more and more
01:54 of Trinity Rodman here, which is one last point to make then,
01:58 Donnie, something that you and I used to do a lot on in play
02:00 sports tonight.
02:01 But the way odds move throughout a soccer match
02:06 there always provide opportunity.
02:09 You might not be getting great pricing at the moment
02:11 on some individual player props there,
02:14 but if you want to bet somebody to score coming off
02:17 of the bench, you'll see good prices
02:19 start to check in on the FanDuel Sportsbook
02:21 as this game goes on.
02:23 Yes, and anybody that gets into this game
02:25 certainly is going to try to score.
02:26 As I brought out, this isn't a friendly Kevin.
02:28 This isn't, oh, you know what, let's have a warm up
02:30 and you're not giving your best effort.
02:32 Just think about that.
02:33 Hey, how'd you do in the World Cup?
02:34 Did you know I scored a goal in the World Cup back in 2023?
02:37 That means a lot for most of these women,
02:39 and rightfully so in just about any sport you play.
02:41 If you play at an international hockey tournament,
02:43 you want those goals to rack up here,
02:45 and you're right about that.
02:46 Anybody's getting at least, what, 10 to 15 minutes out
02:49 there, including in the second half,
02:50 a legitimate chance to score.
02:52 'Cause we're not taking a look at one of these games,
02:54 Kevin, or matches, as we say, where it's,
02:55 hey, it's gonna be close, two to one,
02:57 one to nothing, a normal soccer match.
02:59 Not the case here.
03:00 We are expecting a lot of goals,
03:02 which means a lot of US women
03:04 probably gonna get great opportunities here.
03:06 (upbeat music)
03:09 (bells chiming)
