Sporting managed to put just one shot on goal over the course of 90 minutes and gave away a third goal in stoppage time when Bruno found the upper-right corner of the net with a shot from the top of the penalty area.

 

The loss is the fifth in seven games for Sporting Gijon and drops the club to 19th place.

 

"I am excited for the future and I am excited to remain a part of this club," Kirovski said.

 

At Borussia Dortmund in Germany, Kirovski became the first American to win the Champions League. He also played for FC Koln in Germany, Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, and Crystal Palace and Birmingham City in England while in Europe.

 

"Jovan is a very experienced guy, he knows our club and he knows the way that we do things," L.A. manager Bruce Arena said. "He has prepared himself to get into coaching and I think that it will be a good transition for him and he will be a great addition to our staff."

 

Dortmund, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Borussia Dortmund confirmed Tuesday that young attacking starlet Mario Gotze has been ruled out for six to eight weeks as it was determined that the midfielder's groin injury is more serious than first thought. Gotze has been diagnosed with a pubic bone stress injury by the club's doctor as well as Germany's national team doctor and has been instructed to rest for two weeks before starting rehab.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Soccer announced Tuesday that the 2012 All-Star Game will be played at PPL Park, the home of the Philadelphia Union, on July 25 with the opponent yet to be revealed. It is the first time in a decade that the city of Philadelphia won its bid to host an All-Star Game, its most recent league showcase coming in 2002 with the National Basketball Association.

 

MLS Commissioner Don Garber made the announcement at City Hall along with Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter, City of Chester Mayor John Linder, and Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz.

 

"Major League Soccer has chosen to host this year's All-Star Game at PPL Park with good reason," said Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter. "The Philadelphia region is centrally located, growing in population and has a rich sports culture. The Philadelphia Union have quickly enhanced Philly's sports traditions with the most dedicated MLS fan base in the nation. I have no doubt there will be a fantastic turnout for this year's festivities."

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
