The 2020 Tokyo Olympics already in action, and the men's soccer tournament will join the fray overnight.
While there are some quality teams in the 16-team, four group tournament, it looks to be a two-horse race between Spain (the favorites, at odds of +200) and Brazil (odds of +300).
But there are a few teams that might make some noise as well. Germany beat Spain to win the UEFA Under-21 title, and also knocked off some vaunted teams along the way. You can get the Germans at +1000 to win the tournament, which looks like a very good value.
If you are looking to bet the USA, do not bother: the Americans did not qualify AGAIN for the Olympics, because the US Soccer set up is still a joke at the lower levels. But I digress...
You can also bet on the teams to win the groups, and there is some value as well with them.
