The Romanians didn’t get the best draw in Euro 2008. They get to start their Euro 2008 adventure by taking the 2006 World Cup Runner-Ups - - Le Bleu - - the French.

The French will be without head-butting phenom Zidane but that’s okay. They still have Thierry Henry who has been one of the best players in soccer for around ten years. The guy is very, very good. Le Bleu also still has Patrick Viera manning the middle.

Do the Romanians, who finished ahead of the online soccer betting odds.

Here are the BetUS online Euro Cup betting odds for this match:

Romania + ½ + 105 + 360 O 2 - 125

France - ½ - 125 - 125 U 2 + 105

Draw + 240

Romania + 1 - 180

France - 1 + 160

Romania is a good enough team to stick with the French who come into this not truly at their best. Then again, this is France who can definitely turn it on when they need to.

Romania can as well, but the problem with the BetUS online betting odds is that unless I take the Romanians to win this game straight-up, on the BetUS money-line of + 360, I really can’t make any money on this team.

In other words, because of what BetUS is offering as online wagers, I pretty much have to take a stand against Romania and go with the French.

To me, the only real online bet in this match is on France to beat Romania by at least a goal at + 160.

That’s definitely asking a lot out of France who has a very good team, but probably not a great team. But France figures to make their presence felt in this tournament.

I have to take a shot.

I’ll be making an online odds of + 160.
