can never go with anyone other than England for these things - would never back against them I just have to believe. I live in hope.....and a bit of luck would do nicely please.

Other than that you can't look beyond Spain or Brazil

Get to the semis and anything can happen

All I can say is that if we go to penalties I will not be watching

I reckon they will have been practcing penalties like fuck for the last year at least!!

Still won't help though

[Master]

I wanted to bet Argentina but unsure about the crazy manager but would not mind Spain doing it, does anyone know what are their odds?

[boxingbantz]

4/1 Spain.
5/1 Brazil
6/1 England
7/1 Argentina
11/1 Holland
12/1 Germany
12/1 Italy
28/1 Portugal

Portugal at 28s? I know they had a very poor qualifying campaign but they are worth a tenner with Ronaldo in their side.

[Nameless]

It's gonna be interesting to see, I am pretty sure the German, even without Ballacks, will do well with their metric and hermetic style of playing.

4/1 Spain.
5/1 Brazil
6/1 England
7/1 Argentina
11/1 Holland
12/1 Germany
12/1 Italy
28/1 Portugal

Apparently Ronaldo never scored a single goal in the world cup qualifiers

I think Argentina is good money. Messi is gonna light this tournament up.

England at 6s while argies at 7s is a complete joke. Argentinas second 11 could probably beat us on there day

Completely understand why we are so short though. If england win the world cup the bookies in this country stand to lose a small fortune!!

[Master]

Thoes odd do not give much, wonder who Skel/Fenster/Ono have I will put money on them . Holland look the best money bet.

I think you're drastically over-estimating Argentina.

Player for player....

Romero - Hart/Green/James (unsure which one yet, although i'd go for Hart, but i'm biased)

Otamendi - Johnson (Johnson is better)

Demichelis - Ferdinand (Ferdinand)

Samuel - Terry (Close)

Heinze - Cole (Cole..easily)

Gutierriz - Lennon (Lennon..easily)

Mascherano - Barry (Close)

Veron - Lampard (Lampard)

Di Maria - Gerrard (Gerrard)

Messi - Rooney (Messi)

Higuain - Heskey (Higuain)


They may have stronger attacking option in Tevez, Aguero, Milito, but we're stronger everywhere else and Capello is a miles better tactician than Maradona.

Didnt Portugal draw with Cape Verde in one of their World Cup warm-ups?

Id love Holland to win it, Robben/Sneijder/Van Der Vaart/ Van Persie would be pretty devastating if there defence could hold up. I think Dirk Kuyt will miss a ridiculous chance and they go out though.

Maradona's hate of Messi will probably mess any chance they have up.
Spain will probably bottle it... but Villa top scorer for me.

Italys an alright bet at 12/1 too.

[Nameless]

Germany with a 12 rate is a damn good prospect, personally I could see them making the final with their mechanical play, talent for talent they aren't the best one over there but they always have a game plan to suck off energy and most of the opposite talent off the turf.

[FTMatty]

6/1 England!!!
Sounds like some patriotic betting has really cut their price.
