This year’s World Cup really only has 5 teams that are serious contenders. Spain is full of talent and they’ve got an effortless group with Switzerland, Honduras and Chile. The Spanish team has the talent to win their first World Cup gambling with participants like Fernando Torres, David Villa, Xaba and Cesc Fabregas. The main problem for Spain is that they could confront a tough round of 16 match against the second place team from Group G that will be Brazil or Portugal. Brazil is the probable champion of Group G but if they in some way slide and finish second, wouldn’t it be a huge jolt to have the 2 favorites, Brazil and Spain playing in the round of 16? Brazil has received the World Cup a total of 5 times plus they are a serious risk to win it again this year. They will compete in a tough group with Portugal and Ivory Coast but they ought to not have any problem progressing to the round of 16 especially since Ivory Coast probably has no possibility now that major scorer Didier Drogba has gone out with a personal injury.
England is the third choice in the gambling odds behind Spain and Brazil. They are nicely coached with Fabio Capello and they have Wayne Rooney. The question is whether their goaltender is good enough. Argentina has the best player on the planet in Lionel Messi, which brings them into the mix. The team is coached by Diego Maradona and that is probably more of a negative than a positive. The Netherlands is the other competitor to earn the World Cup. They could have their best team since 1988.
Italy looks to be far less strong than they were four years ago, although they are the defending champion and has landed the World Cup odds four times, since they have no serious scoring threats. Lacking captain Michael Ballack, who is hurt, Germany is less of a risk this year despite having landed the championship 3 times.
France, Portgual and the USA could be exciting choices if you’re looking for darkhorse prospects. France has still got Thierry Henry, Nikolas Anelka, William Gallas and Franck Ribery while Portgual has Cristiano Ronaldo. The United States can’t be entirely forgotten since it has Tim Howard and Landon Donovan.
