Who Will Conquer The World Cup 2010? - World Cup odds

There are a host of teams that could stake a claim for Footballs’ elite prize the World Cup in 2010 and right now it’s hard to tell who the front runners are. Brazil are hotly tipped as favourites by the bookmakers odds for the World Cup but it won’t be plain sailing for Dunga and his men. The likes of England, Spain, France, Italy, and Argentina will all believe they are capable of lifting the trophy on July 11th with strong squads and an undeniable thirst for glory. Teams from Africa such as Algeria, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana will be hoping that they can create history and an upset at this World Cup while it’s being played on home soils. The fact is that a tournament like the World Cup can throw up any number of surprises that could leave the pundits smarting and it is this fact that ultimately makes an event like the World Cup so enjoyable.

Brazil are favourites but they have been drawn in the ‘group of death’ meaning they have to face both Portugal and the Ivory Coast early on in the tournament and neither will be easy teams to beat. They have the experience and quality and with Dunga at the helm they have a very strong set up. They will be looking to star players like Kaka and Luis Fabiano to spearhead their efforts and they still play with the attacking mentality that they are famous for and have some truly devastating wing backs in their ranks.

England are also tipped to do well and having been drawn in a group they are expected to qualify from expectations are high with most believing this is their best chance to win the World Cup since 1966. Boasting several World Class players England will be hoping that Rooney, Gerrard and Terry amongst others prove their worth to the England set-up. For England it will be the world class players who need to step up to the mark and really make a stand against the bigger teams in the tournament.

Of course it is hard not to mention Spain, as they are the reigning European Champions and have years of disappointment that they want to channel into a winning mentality to try and claim the World Cup and European double. With Fernando Torres and Villa up front, defences can’t help but be a little intimidated and the strikers will be hoping to use that to their advantage to shoot their team all the way in the World Cup. Italy who won the last World Cup haven’t been given a lot of chance to retain their title although they are still up there among the top teams and any football fan will tell you that if nothing else Italy know how to play in tournaments like this one.

The fact that the World Cup betting odds indicate no clear favourite shows that this is a tournament that is wide open for anyone on good form to stake a claim for the title.
