Two European Teams Playing in Finals in World Cup Betting by Lynn Smith
Following their game with the Netherlands on Sunday, Spain has been titled the latest World Cup champ in sports gambling. In a 1-0 victory, Spain became the 1st team in World Cup history to win the Cup after losing their 1st game and also claimed their 1st ever World Cup championship.
There were plenty of reasons for European soccer betting devotees to be nervous in sportsbook wagering as the 2010 World Cup betting contest approached. First on the checklist of worries was the reality that never before in the 80 years of World Cup probabilities history had a European team won the World Cup wagering contest when it was held off of European soil. The South American squads had dominated and won every single World Cup probabilities contest that had not been played on the favorable confines of the old continent.
And it seemed as if that trend would continue when the Group Stage of the soccer betting got going. Spain, the European favorite to win the complete World Cup betting contest, lost its 1st game to tiny Switzerland. But that wasn’t all. The much praised English side barely qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup probabilities contest after they played to a tie with the mediocre US team. Worse still, defending World Cup wagering champ Italy never progressed out of the Group Stage and 1998 World Cup wagering champ France never even obtained even one point in the standings in its humiliating 3 game run in the 2010 World Cup probabilities contest.
But the curse is over, fortunately for European soccer betting devotees, and a continental team has won a World Cup betting title off of European soil for the 1st time. Ensuring that the winner would be a continental European country, Spain and the Netherlands squared off in the finals on Sunday.
It was a classic soccer wagering competition and a World Cup final to remember. The tournament’s best defense took on probably the best offense in this year’s World Cup contest.
And the old soccer betting adage held true that defense tops offense. Not only did Spain lift the 1st World Cup betting championship won by a European side outside of Europe, but they also won the country’s 1st World Cup championship also. As it already notched the team’s 1st Euro Cup victory in 2008, this may make the team by far the biggest in Spanish history. In fact, it will be remembered as one of the greatest European squads in soccer wagering history.
But the competition for the Golden Boot has been perhaps the most fascinating betting story of the World Cup betting action so far. The Golden Boot is one of the most renowned trophies in soccer wagering is awarded at every World Cup probabilities contest to the individual that scores the most goals.
Heading into the World Cup betting action, most folks considered that players such as the Argentine Lionel Messi, Britain’s Wayne Rooney and the Portuguese Christiano Ronaldo would be taking the award. In fact, between the 3 of them they landed only one goal. The “Young Player of the World Cup” award also as the sought after Golden Boot were taken home this year by Germany’s Thomas Mueller.
It is been a weird and interesting World Cup for 2010.
