I have a sneaky feeling England will be there or there abouts - I dont think they will implode, as per usual, this time. Paddypower is offering a 13/2 odds on all teams from Pot 2 - 4, on a Who will England draw bet. Stuck a sneaky few bob on them to get Japan and Cameroon (seperatly) ..... complete luck of the draw if the come out - get it, luck of the draw!!
Spain and Brazil were 9/2 joint favourites before the draw, Spain now into 4/1 and Brazil out to 5/1. I might have a look at Germany nearer the time. You cant beat a few bets on the World Cup the week before it. Great interest in it.
looking at the ivory coast for an outside bet not too sure what odds yet though if they get out of the group could have a chance
They are currently 25/1 on PP. Considering they would most likely have to negotiate past Spain, Italy and Germany if they get out of the group they ain't fantastic looking odds.
England wont win it with Johnson, Terry, Ferdinand and no keeper. Spain-Brasil Final, Fabiano topscorer.
Cameroon would have to negotiate pretty much the same teams and are available at a much better value 80/1 on PP. If I was looking at an African team to go far they'd be my bet.
Fernando Torres 12/1 top goalscorer, 5th favourite behind Villa, Rooney, Messi and Fabiano. 10/1 for Messi looks nice although Higuain at 18s looks good too!
Backed Brazil at 5/1 already. Think they'll win it. Top scorer, id have a look at Robinho, he always plays brilliantly for brazil.
Will defo be backing Spain at 4/1 and would be tempted by Argetina at 8/1. If you look at the possible FIRST XI, Brazil still have the likes of Elano and Gilberto Silva in their team and although I would not rule them out, Spain have superior Goalkeeper (Casilas/Cesar), Defence(Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Abidol / Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Bastos)Midfield (Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Alonso / Elano, Giberto, Ramires, Kaka) and Attack (Torres, Villa / Fabiano, Robinho). Argentina will depend a lot on Maradona. If he plays Insua, Veron, Guitterez and Palmero they should stay at home. If he plays their strongest XI and to Messi's strength, they will be hard to stop. Samuel, Masherano, Cambiasso, Tevez, Messi, Higuian and the Milito brothers are all form players. The likes of Aguero, Di Maria and Aimar also in contention. Looking forward to it now. Should be a cracking tournament.
totally agree with u there m8.GJ is too suspect defensively.and no keeper either.need a solid back 4 to have a real chance.
had villa meself in the Euro's.i thin k he takes the peno's aswell so i'll take a good look at him.Need to sus out who will meet who along the way.
I really can't see past Spain.. Torres & Villa up front.. Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva...... Embarrassingly brilliant in fairness
