Anyone fancy any team in particular to win it ? Can someone post the prices ?
Personally I am going to lay germany and argentina , i think they will be poor value to win and neither are good enough to win it outright and both will fall around the quarter final/semi final mark..

Yeah prices please, I think I'll lump on Spain, although Torres fitness would be key. Spain for me are streets ahead of most teams in international football. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

I will pick the top scorer again for the fourth tournement in a row.... watch this space  2004 - Mialn Baros (50-1), missed out by 1 day at 100-1 2006 - Klose (16-1) I think he was 2008 - Villa (12-1) 2010 - ???? -------------

Bit early,no?Just a suggestion, but might want to make this a sticky. Can see this one going over 100 pages at least. I've already backed Germany not to qualify from their group. Despite their consistent record of qualifying, Serbia and Ghana will put it up to them and the Aussies are no pushovers. |

You can never write off the Germans Rog! They're due a woeful tournament I feel, PP's have a section for "Stage of Elimination". Germany are 7/2 not to make it out of the group. Not the best but worth a punt considering their group. Here's the other favourites not to make it out of their groups: France:11/4 Argentina:5/1 England:6/1 Italy :5/1 Brazil:5/1 Portugal:11/10 Spain:6/1 |

Best value for top goalscorer would be Rooney and Klose.

Rooney at 12/1 is a good bet, easy group, so he could have 3-5 goals before the knock out stages. Might stick a large bet on it each way.
is it top 4 on the each way market? ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught! Well, four years ago I had already told the government. |

Even though Argentina looked a shambles in qualifying I think they might be worth a bet. Messi, Higuain, Tevez, Aguero, Di Maria, D.Milito and Lissandro to choose from in attack.  Ever Banega is having a stormer for Valencia this season. Mascherano and Cambiasso in the center of the park. Walter Samuel showed he was good enough over the two legs against Chelsea. Garay of Real and Zanetti as well in defence. Possible line up ------------------------Romero------------------------ -----Zanetti------Milito---Samuel------Heinze----- -----Messi----Cambiasso---Mascherano---Di Maria---- -------------------Higuain---------Tevez------------ Subs Aguero Banega Garay Lucho Gonzalez Insua Maxi Milito Guitierrez Lavezzi Perotti Zarate Aimar Veron |

I watched quite a few of their qualifying games and they were often wretched. Unless, he's had a complete metamorphis since qualifying, I wouldn't be all surprised to see them fail to get out of their group. |

Regarding Argentina, they have great attackers and good midfield but Heinze is past it and Zanetti for all his brilliance is about 106. QFs would be good for them. They could be possible favs though in 2014. ------------- "Smalling and Jones.... have the potential to be the PL’s best ever pairing in my opinion." - SlurAlex |

England will do the usual. . . .
Come up against a decent passing side who take the lead and try by all measures to break up the game . England lose their heads and are on the next plane home. Can see the Dutch and Argentina doin something similar.
Brazil will go close. . . .
They are always there or thereabouts. Thought they could just show up in Germany and its theirs but its a different side this time. Never mind their forward players look at their defenders. Alex is not the best but he has some presence about him and can score goals. Dani Alves is the new Cafu. Maicon is solid as a rock and Lucio is an animal end of story. Will be a tougher propostion this year altogether.
Spain . . . .
Have their biggest ever chance to win it. The monkey about not showing up at the big tournaments is off their backs and they will firmly believe they can win it which is very important. Great passing side who you cannot get near at the best of times. Their one negative is that they maybe lack leaders. For all their beautiful football in the Euros they werent really tested . How they react to getting into a scrap of a game will determine whether they win it or not because sometimes slick passing goes out the window in games like this and this could upset them . . .

Puyol- Barcelona captain Casillas- Real captain Villa- Valencia captain Fabregas- Arsenal captain Xavi- Barcelonavice captain Senna(if he plays) - Villareal captain Torres- former Athletico captain They are captains of some of europe's biggest sides. They should be leaders. They might lack physical strength but that's about it. |
Posted By: BabbsBalls
Date Posted: 18 Mar 2010 at 12:58pm
|
I see your point but I would only class Casillas and Puyol as true leaders out of that bunch. .
Senna/Fabregas and Xavi lead by example and are great players but none of them will grab the game by the scruff if its not going their way. Look at the Chelsea/Inter game on tuesday. There are sides that will come out and succeed at shutting the game down. I just cant see where the drive will come from Spain to muscle the game back when their passing game is being stopped. . . ------------- l hear you are a racist now, father ? |

Hard to drop Higuain, Aguero or Tevez . Heard Higuain was a bit out of favour wit Diego but on his current form he would have to start. . Can't see him playing the 3 of them . . .

A bookmaker is to give punters a hand by ignoring Thierry Henry's contributions on the pitch in the 2010 World Cup, it has emerged.
After the controversial 'Hand of Henry' denied Ireland the chance to go to the World Cup finals, one betting firm, whose European managing director is Irish, has decided to take revenge. Bodog.com has decided to remove Thierry Henry's involvement from all World Cup bets after its Europe MD, Keith McDonnell, felt he could not enjoy the tournament with the Frenchman still playing a part. For any French game in which Henry plays, punters can now place a bet safe in the knowledge that his goals will not count against them. For example, if a customer backs a draw in a France game and Henry scores, making them 1-0 winners, he will still get paid. This also applies to a first goalscorer and each-way markets too. So, if a punter backs a player to be the highest scorer throughout the tournament and the customer's selection comes fourth, one below Henry, he would be paid as if he came third. However, if a person places a bet for France to win, all of Henry's goals will still be counted. "I want to enjoy the World Cup and the only way I can do that is if Thierry Henry is no longer part of it," said McDonnell. "He has already ruined my World Cup and I want to make sure he can do no more damage." ------------- Bimbos Burgers - "Official Sponsor of the Irish Squad" |

| Suarez and Forlan up front for Uruguay could score a good few goals in that poor group A.. but you have to look at potential opponents after the group stages, so its always better picking a player from a big nation. If Rooney is 100% fit hes a good bet but a great outside choice would be Robinho of Brazil |

Im going to have an e/w bet on Oscar Cardozo @66/1 for Paraguay, Considering that New Zealand are in their group, i think they wil lbe absolute cannon fodder, thi man takes penos and free kicks and has been prolific for Benfica....goiing to punt on him, i think Paraguay can also progress to the next round ahead of the slovaks...

Robinho top goalscorer @ 33/1. Considering they've N Korea in their group, they've no adriano pato or ronaldinho and will more than likely make it to the final, it's a fantastic price.
I'm also lashing a few quid e/w on denmark @ 250/1. Fancy them to get through a group that has holland, Cameroon and japan and once u get through the group u never know. They were very good in qualifying as well, very organized. Is e/w in a tournament just if they get to the final?? ------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

Van Persie top scorer & holland to win 100/1, betting a bit with my heart as well but not beyond the realms of possibility.
England @ 11/2 is a shocking price, they should be the same odds as the dutch to say the least!
Outright, lump on brazil, best defence they've had in a good few years

what do people think of gilardino as top scorer? 33/1, in a group with paraguay, new zealand and slovakia. gauranteed a fair few goals. he got a hat-trick in qualifying against cyprus, scored against us, scored 15 goals for fiorentina this season. i think he could be a dark horse....and they're very good odds since it will more than likely be himself and either di natale or rossi up front.

Don't know how people are so quick to disregard Argentina. Any team with Aguero, Higuain, Tevez and Messi has to be taken seriously, despite their form in the qualifiers. That's not including Milito either. I know they can't all play but they have serious attacking quality. Mascherano and Cambiasso could do a job holding in the middle.
Nice double going in Paddy Power a while back: Spain to left WC and Messi top goalscorer 66/1. ------------- 67% points to games ratio at the last Euro's (better than Portugal's) |

Brazil are the only team to win the World Cup outside of their continent and ironically there strongest point is defence
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur), Victor (Gremio) Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Alex (Chelsea), Juan (AS Roma), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Luisao (Benfica), Kleber (Internacional), Andre Santos (Corinthians). ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

My mistake - just assumed he would be in there. Well he should be there, as should Zanetti.
I haven't seen much of Argentina from their qualifying - have heard only bad things. But i have seen a lot of Messi, Tevez and Higuain who have scored 34, 23 and 27 goals respectively in their leagues, which happen to be the two top leagues in the world. If they click at all they can go very far.
Agreed on the Brazil front. The likes of Maicon and Lucio are tough as fook at the back. And their midfielders and strikers are, well Brazilian. ------------- 67% points to games ratio at the last Euro's (better than Portugal's) |

Cant look much further than David Villa at 10 to 1 . .
His record for every team he has played for is incredible. Just signed for Barca so he is gonna really enjoy his world cup. . On top of that Spain play Chile, Honduras and Switzerland in the groups . They will probably score about 15 goals in that group . .
