You’re probably not into laying odds as hefty as -700, even if it is in the interest of supporting your home country, and the U.S. is available for a cheaper price of -125 on the two-way spread bet. Of course, bettors to have to lay 2 goals to get odds that attractive.
But the Americans will have plenty of motivation tonight. There’s bad blood between these sides. During the USA’s 3-0 win in the 2012 Olympic Games, star striker Abby Wambach had her eye blackened by a sucker punch from Colombia’s best player, Lady Andrade, who received a two-game suspension for the flagrant act.

The underdog Colombian squad, though, has proved itself capable of upsetting a more highly-regarded foe, beating France 2-0 in group play in this Women’s World Cup.
Tonight’s total is posted at 3 goals (OVER +120, UNDER -140). It opened at 2.5 goals (OVER -150, UNDER +130).
Should the U.S. women win on Monday, they advance to the quarterfinals where China awaits.
