Superb odd on Kashima here. And I am sure it won't last long. Why? Let me explain.
Kashima last two games draw altough in one suspicious game with iwata 3-3, and last one against urawa 2-2 altough they were very close to win the game, but Urawa scored in last minutes. Now they go to a Kofu game, and in away games Kashima lost only 2 games, one with gamba 1-0 and other with Urawa 4-0.

5. Kashima 18 10-3-5 33:28 33
14. Ventforet 18 5-3-10 21:39 18

nothing tragically i say. But Kofu is far from a team like urawa and gamba. Trust me. Kofu came from two straight losses, 5-1 against Nagoya and 4-1 in last one against Shimizu. And in both games they were really crap. And reason... well, they are without two important strikers, due to injury. Hasegawa who scored one goal in Nagoya game, and one against shimizu in 3-1 last win, and Spindler who scored 2 goals lately. But without them we see, how team is going.
First game of these two teams ended 3-1 for Kashima on their ground and I don't see a reason why Kashima shouldn't won here too.

Soccer, England, Premier League, Pick on 22.8.2006: Tottenham vs. Sheffield United

Tottenham facing Sheffield United in interesting clash tonight at White Heart Lane.Before the game the mood in the two squads is very different.After the cold shower for Tottenham and their ambitions on Saturday - they lost 2:0 at Reebok Stadium, now they are obliged to record their first 3 points in the league.What must worry Jol is the weakness showed by his guys, especially in the midfield.It looks like Davids is too old to make the game.But some good news here for Jol - Tainio is back in the squad, and he is supposed to be key figure in the centre of the field.

The captain of the team - King is still sidelined.And appeared new major problem - Defoe is doubtful, his participation in the match will be decided by the late fitness test.But I think his absence could be succesfully covered by Keane and Berbatov in the attack.
On the other side there is the team od Sheffield.The Blades made brilliant start - 1:1 with Liverpool, one of the favourites for the title this year.And not only the result - Warnock's boys show very good game.But I think on other hand this strong first game may play bad role in this match.For the team of Sheffield Short is out.The squad from the last match will be supported by Bennett, Montgomery, Queen and Kozluk.
I think here Tottenham will win the 3 points, they are in great need of good result against the newly promoted Sheffield, otherways the hopes for Champions League next year will start slowly slipping away.

Soccer, England, Premier League, Pick on 22.8.2006: Watford vs. West Ham

Filed under: English version, Picks — mato at 5:44 pm on Tuesday, August 22, 2006

Both sides went over on the opening day fixture and I expect an open game here in Watfords first game back in the premiership in a match I think they will believe they can win. West Ham played good football last weekend coming back from 1-0 to win 3-1, I believe they will get a few chances to score tonight and the result whatever it is will go over.
