World Cup Odds and Picks: South Korea Vs. Nigeria Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/22/2010
Still, if you told the Koreans they’d had their own destiny in their hands with regards to the knockout stages, you better believe they would take it. Group B was always unclear from the start, not really having a legit second team emerge. South Korea can pencil their name in with a draw or victory (barring Greece doesn’t shock Argentina).
World Cup Odds and Picks: Argentina Vs. Greece Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/22/2010
The Greeks are fairly monotonous in their style and they make no attempt to hide their defensive nature. A big, physical backline and a very systematic approach that tends to dumb the game down to their liking. But you can’t sit back for 90 minutes against a side as brilliant as Argentina – not unless you prefer to be taken out back to the shed.
World Cup In-Game And In-Play Betting
by Sports Interaction - 6/19/2010
Soccer is the global game with an enormous appeal all over the world, but a lot of people still don’t like it because of the low scoring and ties. But Sports Interaction believes betting during the game is drawing people in and exposing people to a whole new world of betting during the game’s showpiece tournament in South Africa.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Brazil Vs. Ivory Coast Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 6/19/2010
The Group of Death (G) opens second-round group stage play with another terrific matchup on Sunday between Brazil and the Ivory Coast. The match will be at 2:30 p.m. Eastern and shown on ABC and is one of the most influential both in this group, and in the World Cup spectrum.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Chile vs. Switzerland Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 6/19/2010
The story of the World Cup thus far – other than an astounding lack of goals and nearly every total going under – is Switzerland’s stunning upset of Spain in the opening round of the group stage. How stunning was it? Spain was a -500 favorite (Swiss at +1200) and entered the game on a 12-game winning streak - they also had not lost to Switzerland in 18 meetings - and the defeat was just the team's second in 50 games. (The other coming to the U.S. in the 2009 Confederations Cup.)
NASCAR: Toyota/Save Mart 350 Odds and Predictions
by Christopher Shepard - 6/18/2010
Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, who won his fifth Sprint Cup race this year by dominating at Michigan, last week, will attempt a three-peat at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California as NASCAR heads out to wine country for the first road course race of the season this Sunday.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Slovenia Vs. USA Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 6/17/2010
Here in the United States the match against England was billed as the biggest game in the history of the men’s soccer team. That was a bit of overstatement considering the outcome of that game hardly mattered as long as the United States took care of business in its second and third game of the group stage. The first of these more winnable games is at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 18 in Johannesburg when the United States takes on Slovenia.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Netherlands Vs. Japan Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 6/17/2010
Two results - one expected and one a surprise - means that this game between Netherlands and Japan will likely determine the winner of Group E. At the very least, the winner of this game will be moving on to the second round. Netherlands was supposed to beat Denmark and they did, though they didn't earn style points doing so. Japan upset home continent favorites Cameroon and earned their first World Cup win away from home in the process.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Cameroon Vs. Denmark Predictions
by T.O. Whenham - 6/17/2010
One thing that makes a soccer game, or any sporting event for that matter, more interesting is when the teams involved are desperate. This game should be a classic, then, because it just oozes desperation. Both teams are coming off of humbling, frustrating losses in their first games of the World Cup, and a second loss for either team will likely mean the end of their already very slim championship dreams. On the other hand, a win doesn't guarantee anything, but it makes the final game of the round robin particularly meaningful.
World Cup Odds and Picks: England Vs. Algeria Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 6/16/2010
Both England and Algeria enter the game with an extreme sense of urgency. With only three group games every one has a sense of urgency in the group stage but after the results of these two countries in their first game this game surely has all the makings of an elimination game. Thankfully for England, it enters the game as one of the biggest favorites in the first round. As unexpected as the 1-1 tie against the United States was anything short of a win by the Three Lions will be looked upon as a stunner.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Germany Vs. Serbia Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 6/16/2010
Yet with the draw of their group this year and the injury to Michael Ballack, the 2006 hosts will be in danger of an early exit if they look beyond the group stage, specifically their matchup with Serbia at 7:30 a.m. EST on Friday in Port Elizabeth. With Ghana looming large as a threat neither team can afford to leave this game without a point. Serbia knows all too well that scenario after a late-game mishap against Ghana put itself in a precarious position.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Greece Vs. Nigeria Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/15/2010
This match between Greece and Nigeria may be a battle for the runner up position in Group B. I don’t think anyone will feel insulted if we go ahead and assume the vastly skilled Argentines will be making quick work of first place in this foursome. Now what’s left to be decided is the second spot, and Greece and Nigeria are in a good place to dictate terms on their own behalf.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Argentina vs. South Korea Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/15/2010
Park Ji-Sung is an exceptional world-class player for South Korea, and the Manchester United winger’s brilliance will be seen this summer. But when on the pitch against Argentina’s handful of skillful footballers, in a game of poker it’d be like an Ace-high hand against a full house. Argentina squares off against South Korea in the two’s second World Cup group play match. On June 17 these two will take the pitch with Group B’s top spot on the line at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.
World Cup Odds and Picks: France Vs. Mexico Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/15/2010
When comparing this year’s teams from both France and Mexico, quality group play results are not the only thing these two teams have in common. Both have received their fair share of criticism, and rightfully so. Both have come to South Africa with high aims and a desire to prove those wrong that uttered harsh words. Expect a methodical approach from each squad in this fixture.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Uruguay Vs. South Africa Predictions
by Jordan Adams - 6/14/2010
Oh, just another massively important game for the hosts in the second play of South Africa’s group campaign. But then again, when you’re the host of the FIFA World Cup and no host nation has ever failed to qualify for the knockout stages, expectations and the desire for good results come with the territory. And it doesn’t lessen the impact when you’re the first African nation to stage the tournament in the history of the event either.
World Cup Odds and Betting Picks: Spain Vs. Switzerland Preview and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 6/14/2010
I have a feeling that it’s going to be devastation in South Africa for the Spanish national team. But the question is, will they continue to devastate opponents on their way to a title or will their faithful nation of supporters once again be devastated by another World Cup flop?
World Cup Odds and Betting Picks: Honduras Vs. Chile Preview and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 6/14/2010
Outside of the host nation and some excitable African squads, few teams in the World Cup field will be tapping as much emotional reserve as the team from Chile. Less than four months removed from one of the most devastating natural disasters in the South American nation’s history, the Chilean team will hope to send some shockwaves through Group H in the 2010 World Cup at South Africa.
World Cup Odds and Betting Picks: Ivory Coast Vs. Portugal Preview and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 6/13/2010
The Ivory Coast hosts Portugal at 10 a.m. EST on Tuesday, June 15 in Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. In my opinion, this is the best and the most meaningful match of the opening round of games and pits two teams that could either flame out or catch fire, impacting everything else going on in their group and the knockout bracket.
World Cup Odds and Betting Picks: Brazil Vs. North Korea Preview and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 6/13/2010
What would you say if I told you that North Korea over Brazil in the opening match for each team was one of the best wagers you could make in the entire 2010 World Cup? The two teams will meet at 2:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 15 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg. And North Korea stands about as much of a chance of winning this game as I do of being named Kim Jong-Il’s successor.
World Cup Odds and Picks: Slovakia Vs. New Zealand Predictions
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 6/13/2010
ESPN is advertising these World Cup games with the slogan “One Game Changes Everything.” It’s hard to imagine the marketing executives at ESPN were talking about the New Zealand/Slovakia game as one of those games that would change everything.
