US seems a little overvalued given historical performance... Is there some reason to think they will do better this time around?

On the odds, I started the teams pretty evenly, are you talking about the spike and fall that kruijs created by betting on basketball?

I wasn't commenting on your initial odds michael - just trying to hint other betters to even out the market a bit!
