Villarreal, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Villarreal claimed three big points on Monday at the Madrigal with a 3-0 victory over Sporting Gijon which snaps a six-game winless streak for the club. Villarreal had dropped four of its last six games and entered the match in 19th place. However, a goal from Marco Ruben in the 57th minute broke a scoreless tie before Borja Valero finished off a pass from Angel Lopez one minute later to double the advantage.
Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jovan Kirovski has ended his 20-year career and accepted a position as assistant coach with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Kirovski, 35, spent five years in a Galaxy uniform, including the final three years when he helped the club reach MLS Cup twice, culminating with his first MLS Cup title last season.
"I am excited for the future and I am excited to remain a part of this club," Kirovski said.
Kirovski moved to MLS in 2004 to join the Los Angeles Galaxy, and later played for the Colorado Rapids and the San Jose Earthquakes before returning to L.A.
"Jovan is a very experienced guy, he knows our club and he knows the way that we do things," L.A. manager Bruce Arena said. "He has prepared himself to get into coaching and I think that it will be a good transition for him and he will be a great addition to our staff."
The 19-year-old is one of Europe's hottest properties and has been rumored to be on the radar of several big clubs. He has recorded five goals in 14 Bundesliga games this season and has notched 12 caps for Germany.
Gotze is expected to be back for Borussia Dortmund's match at Augsburg in mid- March.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber made the announcement at City Hall along with Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter, City of Chester Mayor John Linder, and Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz.
"Major League Soccer has chosen to host this year's All-Star Game at PPL Park with good reason," said Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter. "The Philadelphia region is centrally located, growing in population and has a rich sports culture. The Philadelphia Union have quickly enhanced Philly's sports traditions with the most dedicated MLS fan base in the nation. I have no doubt there will be a fantastic turnout for this year's festivities."
The MLS All-Stars have played Manchester United for the past two seasons, losing to the English giants 5-1 at Reliant Stadium in 2010 and 4-0 at Red Bull Arena in 2011. The opponent for this year's game will be announced at a later date.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
