Soccer’s biggest part is going to the rainbow nation and the big early game pits the <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region> against <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">England</st1lace></st1:country-region>. Bob Bradley’s <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></st1lace> are underdogs at +500 and with good reason. Fabio Capello’s <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1lace>, favored at -200, are loaded with talent all over the park and I’m backing them to beat the upstart Americans in this game. There’s one area of weakness for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">England</st1lace></st1:country-region> that should make bettors happy as the Three Lions are worried about their goalkeeper situation. While the <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region> won’t beat <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region>, they might well get on the scoreboard so Sports Interaction’s price of +650 for a 2-1 win to <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region></st1lace> is a great value bet.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Outside of that clash of great powers, the real question everyone wants answered is who is going to win? <st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on">Spain</st1:country-region> are the co-favorites at +400 but I’m putting all my belief in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Brazil</st1lace></st1:country-region> to win an incredible sixth World Cup title. <st1:country-region w:st="on">Spain</st1:country-region> has a far tougher route to the final while <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Brazil</st1lace></st1:country-region> brings the most complete team to this World Cup, with no serious injury worries. Back <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region></st1lace> to win big with Sports Interaction.<o></o>
<o> </o>
If you are looking for a good underdog to win it all then look no further than <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Germany</st1lace></st1:country-region>. The three time World Cup champions are available at an attractive +1100 and possess many of the Bayern Munich team that went all the way to the Champions League final this year. With a nice draw and no shortage of talent this is a team you simply can’t write off, especially at this price.<o></o>

Stars will be born at this World Cup while legends will cement their legacy. Two players in particular to watch out for are Luis Fabiano of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region> and Alberto Gilardino of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Italy</st1lace></st1:country-region>. There is no better finisher in the game today than Luis Fabiano and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Brazil</st1lace></st1:country-region>’s entire game is built around getting him goals so at +900 he’s a great bet for top goalscorer. Strength of schedule matters when looking at the goalscoring charts so Gilardino could be a great bet for top goalscorer at +3300 with Sports Interaction as he faces plenty of weak opponents early. Gilardino is even more tempting to be the top goalscorer from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Italy</st1lace></st1:country-region>’s Serie A where he is available at +600. With no serious competition from Serie A to challenge him the Italian is a great bet to win that battle. Back Luis Fabiano and Alberto Gilardino to score more with Sports Interaction. <o></o>
