Latest World Cup Predictions
Spain Favored to Win
Then Brazil, Argentina, England, Holland, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Ivory Coast

Note From David. Below is a list the teams the experts predict have the best chance of winning the 2010 World Cup, and the teams that are the long shots.


In the last newsletter I quoted some odds that were out of date. I'm not encouraging gambling - I don't gamble - but the odds makers often have insight as to which teams are the favorites and which are long shots. Below are the odds as of June 3, 2010. It will be fun to see how right this is and it gives you an idea of who are the favorites and who are the underdogs. The USA has respectable odds and is tied with Uruguay and Paraguay as the number 13 favorite.

Note that Portugal, Ivory Coast, Serbia and Chile appear to be good enough to have a chance against some of the better teams.

In the next newsletter I will discuss some of the top players to watch and include links to video clips of them.
