World cup bets @ quiz

edited May 2010 in The Shed
With less than 50 days to go before the 2010 world cup begins i thought i would like to hear what sky poker players have chosen for there world cup bets
I like the look of Van persie 40/1 for the golden boot and am also keen on doing Huntelaar 33/1 as i think Holland may go a long way in the tournament.

Group betting im backing serbia to win there group at 11/4 they are up against Germany,Ghana, and Australia but the serbs are a very very underated side .
I also think Paraquay at 3/1 in there group look good value.

So will we or wont we that is the question! I think under capello we look are confident side but in my view we need to win our group to avoid Spain etc but at 5/1 i wont be backing us i still think Holland at 14s is worth a try.

But my heart ,head toes and every part of my body will be willing England to glory .

Quiz time.....

What two players will be making there 5TH world cup tournament ?

    Ain't bad on the Footy trivia myself.....but even for a Keeper, 5 WC`s would be a push. Have to agree 100% with you.

    switzerland in the 2006 world cup were undefeated in the group stages and only lost in the last 16 on penalties and went their entire tournament without conceding a goal.
  • edited May 2010

    Hakan Sukur holds the record for quickest goal in a World Cup match, 11 seconds against Korea in 2002.

    I won't be placing any bets until nearer the start of the tournament just so I know the final squads, any injuries etc.

    Saying that though, as an outside bet I quite fancy the Dutch this time round. Think you can get ~10/1 on them at the moment. 

    I will be doing my own little preview of all the teams in a few weeks time as well
