9th June, 2010 - Posted by tang - No Comments

On Friday, June 11th the host nation of the world cup in 2010 South Africa takes on Mexico in the start of World Cup odds this year. Spain and Brazil are the two favorites among the total of 32 teams that will be fighting for the World Cup title. Just seven teams have ever taken the title from the total 18 World Cups which have been played in history. 4 years ago it was Italy winning the World Cup as they beat France in a penalty shootout.

There are really only 5 teams that are significant contenders to win 2010′s World Cup. Spain is packed with talent and they’ve got an easy group with Switzerland, Honduras and Chile. With people like Fernando Torres, David Villa, Xaba and Cesc Fabregas, the Spanish squad has the talent to win their first World Cup gambling. The only issue for Spain is that they could face a tricky round of 16 match against the 2nd place squad from Group G that should be Brazil or Portugal. Brazil is the likely winner of Group G however if they in some manner fall and finish 2nd, wouldn’t it be a big jolt to see the two favorites, Brazil and Spain competing in the round of 16? Brazil is a true risk to win the World Cup this year, taking into account they have taken the World Cup a total of 5 times. They are going to battle in a tricky group with Portugal and Ivory Coast but they ought to not have any difficulty progressing to the round of 16 especially because Ivory Coast likely has no chance since leading scorer Didier Drogba is out with a personal injury.

England is the third choice in the gambling odds following Spain and Brazil. They’ve got Wayne Rooney and are very well coached with Fabio Capello. The question is whether their goalkeeper is good enough. Argentina has the best player on earth in Lionel Messi, which brings them into the mix. The squad is coached by Diego Maradona and that is most likely more of a downside than an upside. Another possibility to take the World Cup is the Netherlands. They might have their best squad since 1988.

Italy looks to be far less strong than they were four years ago, despite the fact that they are the defending champion and has taken the World Cup odds four times, since they have no true scoring threats. Germany has won the title three times however they are less of risk this year without captain Michael Ballack who is injured.

France, Portgual and the United States may very well be interesting choices if you are seeking darkhorse teams. France has still got Thierry Henry, Nikolas Anelka, William Gallas as well as Franck Ribery while Portgual has Cristiano Ronaldo. The United States can’t be entirely discounted since it has Tim Howard and Landon Donovan.
