Terms OF The Deal Into Terms Zusi

Soccer Betting Lines

The U.S. got off to a fast start as a left-wing cross was played into the area and it deflected off of Teal Bunbury and into the path of Zusi, who made no mistake with his finish from seven yards, driving the ball underneath goalkeeper Luis Mejia.

 

It was one of the few chances that the U.S. was able to create, and Panama enjoyed the better of the play over the remainder of the match as U.S. goalkeeper Nick Rimando needed to make two nice saves before halftime, the first on Luis Renteria and then on Blas Perez.

 

The challenge earned the defender a straight red card, but Perez missed two good scoring opportunities in the final 15 minutes that allowed the Americans to hold on.

 

Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta will be sidelined three weeks with a left hamstring tear, the European champions announced Thursday. Iniesta was injured just before the half-hour mark in Wednesday's Copa del Rey quarterfinal match against Real Madrid. The 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or finalist was injured in a challenge with Real's Alvaro Arbeloa and had to leave the match.

 

The match finished 2-2, but Barca went through on aggregate, 4-3, to eliminate the defending champions.

 

"He did very well for me at Manchester City and played a number of games," said Hughes, "probably more than under any other manager.

 

The former England Under-21 international can play center back or right back, and becomes the second defensive addition for QPR this week. QPR signed Taye Taiwo on loan earlier this week from AC Milan for the rest of the season.

 

The transfer fee for Onuoha was not disclosed.

 

Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto FC signed defender Richard Eckersley on Thursday. Eckersley, 22, joined Toronto FC on loan from Burnley last April and played 23 matches for the Major League Soccer club. He started 22 of those matches, and also made six appearances in the CONCACAF Champions League.

Big 12 Conference betting odds

Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State

Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.

Work left to do:

Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.

Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.

Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
