USMNT vs. Saudi Arabia odds, prediction: Gold Cup best bets, picks Thursday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The US Men's National Team got a much-needed result Sunday against Trinidad & Tobago. It was hardly unexpected, as the Yanks were massive favorites to beat the Soca Warriors, but it was vital that Team USA got back on track after a four-match losing streak led to off-field controversy that engulfed head coach Mauricio Pochettino. The only way that Pochettino and USMNT can keep things quiet is by following up their 5-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago with another victory against Saudi Arabia in the Gold Cup on Thursday night at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas. The Stars & Stripes are a -185 favorite on the three-way moneyline at FanDuel for Thursday's tilt. Gold Cup: USA vs. Saudi Arabia betting preview Saudi Arabia shocked everybody with a 2-1 win over Argentina in the 2022 World Cup, a result that got tongues wagging about the possibility that the Arabian Falcons were on their way to becoming a relevant team in international soccer. That isn't what happened, as Saudi Arabia lost its next two matches in Qatar and has essentially traded wins, draws and losses since upsetting Lionel Messi and company. Saudi Arabia is ranked as the No. 58 team in the world in the latest FIFA World Cup Rankings, which puts them in the same range as Ireland, Qatar, Uzbekistan, and Jordan.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Gold Cup: USA vs. Saudi Arabia pick It's hard to say we've learned anything new about the USMNT after they thumped Trinidad & Tobago. The Stars & Stripes took care of business and were ruthless anytime the Soca Warriors made a mistake, but they were gifted plenty of scoring chances through Trinidad & Tobago errors, rather than anything else. Saudi Arabia will be a much stiffer test, but not one that the Americans should, at least on paper, have any issues overcoming. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps The Arabian Eagles ground out a 1-0 win against Haiti in their opening match, but they were far from impressive. A 21st-minute penalty was the difference, and it was Haiti that had more possessions and shot attempts. One thing we can expect from Saudi Arabia is they will try to make life difficult for the Americans with physical play and dogged defense. Head coach Hervé Renard is renowned for his ability to get the most out of underdog rosters, and he does it by organizing them defensively and looking to counter. The USMNT will know that the Saudi Arabians will be sitting deep, and looking to counter, which should lead to a more tepid, careful pace from the Americans. Team USA should have enough to get this over the line, but the stylistic matchup means this could be a snoozer.

Tyson Fury waiting for Anthony Joshua to sign deal for comeback fight
Tyson Fury 's manager has refused to rule out a comeback amid talks of a potential showdown against long-time rival Anthony Joshua. Fury shocked the boxing world back in January after announcing his retirement from the sport. His announcement came just a few weeks after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for a second time. Following the defeat to the Ukrainian, many had hoped to see Fury and Joshua go head-to-head this year. Joshua has not fought since sufferin a knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois last September. The 35-year-old is aiming to return to competitive boxing before the end of the year, following elbow surgery. Eddie Hearn - Joshua's promoter - recently confirmed that 'AJ' is in discussions with Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh over a new multiple fight deal. In an interview with Boxing News, Spencer Brown - Fury's manager - provided an update on his star client's future. 'First of all, I think they've got to sign the deal first. That's the most important part. What they're very good at, the Saudi Arabians, is a course. A road, and they want to know what road it is," he said. "And if they can get the road in the right place, then they'll sign whatever deal you want as long as you're happy and they're happy with it. But they think forward. So, it's a great move for Anthony Joshua, isn't it? A three-fight deal. Amazing. Amazing. Tyson's retired. Like I say, we never know though, do we? "But he's very busy at the moment. He's actually in the best place I've ever seen him. He's 12lbs above his fighting weight as well. He looks really well. He's happy. He's got his kids with him constantly. Will he fight again? He's the Gypsy King, who knows?' Joshua has not given up hope of finally realising a bout with Fury. The Brit is not convinced that his rival's retirement is final and appears confident that a fight could still materialise. The British pair agreed a two-bout deal in 2020 but saw plans scuppered when it was ruled Fury had to permit Deontay Wilder a trilogy fight. In a recent post uploaded to Snapchat, Joshua shared an image of himself watching Fury fight, saying: "One of these days I'll be standing in the opposite corner. Ready and fully charged spiritually." Fury himself has declared that he has nothing left to prove in the sport. The 'Gypsy King' quickly dismissed rumours of a return to boxing, questioning the point of a comeback. "I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what? What would I return for? More belts? I've won 22 of them," he said. "I've been rumped, that's it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me. But I'm happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished. "I've been around the world and back again. And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby." He further added: "I'm in no rush at all, to come back to boxing and get my face punched in. For what? What would I return for? I ask that question. I am retired and I am staying retired. I have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to return for."
