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.

 

Kirovski was the first American to sign with Manchester United when he joined the club's youth ranks in 1992, but left the club without ever appearing in a game in 1996.

 

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.

 

In addition to his long club career, Kirovski played 62 times for the U.S. and scored 11 goals during an 11-year international career.

 

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.

 

"Philadelphia has a deep tradition of playing and supporting soccer, and the huge, enthusiastic fan base of the Philadelphia Union is a great success story for Major League Soccer," Garber said in a statement. "The 2012 AT&T All-Star Game will be a great opportunity to celebrate Philadelphia's soccer fans while giving viewers around the globe a glimpse of their passion."

 

The All-Star Game will be played in a soccer specific stadium for the second- straight year after the 2011 edition was held at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ.

 

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.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
