North Korea to concede the most goals in the group stages 6-4. Maarten Stekelenburg to keep the most clean sheets 14-1. Higuain top scorer 18-1. Any England player not to make the final 23 man squad but gets called up before the WC starts 11-2.
They very comfortably qualified for the tournament in a group with France in it. They have quite a lot of class players such as Vidic, Zigic, Stankovic, Krasic, Subotic, Ivanovic and Jovanovic. Germany have lost their captain in Ballack due to injury, of course they still have top players like Lahm, Ozil and Schweinsteiger but they aren't that threatening anymore. Australia look pretty average and Ghana are without Essien.
I have gone for Di Natale as top scorer at 50/1 as well. He has been fantastic the last few years and although Italy aren't known for scoring THAT many goals, they have New Zealand in their group and even though Paraguay and Slovakia are decent, Italy should score a couple past them both. They would also have 1 of Cameroon, Japan or Denmark in the 2nd round who they could score a couple against as well.
I don't really bet but I do do 'matched' betting which involves taking advantage of free bet offers. Centrebet have quite a fun one at the moment where you pick a team in the worldcup and you get a freebet for every goal they score in the group stage. 'Why pick Spain of course!' I hear you cry, but where it gets interesting is you get a different value freebet depending how good the team is.
So every goal of each team is worth as follows:
Spain, Brazil, England, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France, Portugal - £5
Ivory Coast, Chile, Ghana, Mexico, Serbia, Australia, Paraguay, USA, Denmark - £7
Greece, Nigeria, South Africa, Uruguay, Cameroon, Switzerland, Japan, Slovakia, Slovenia - £10
South Korea, Algeria, Honduras, North Korea, New Zealand - £15
Spain look a good bet to give the likes of Honduras a pounding, but I'm very tempted by South Korea for a few reasons:
1. Greece and Nigeria aren't particularly good and could ship some goals
2. If South Korea get just 3 goals it's the equivalent of Spain scoring 9
3. I want to be cheering on the underdog wherever possible, and don't want to find myself hoping Spain are in dazzling form

Spain are not good value at 4/1 in that they play Brazil,Portugal,Ivory Coast in round 2.
Villa top scorer.
france
argentina
england
germany
holland
italy
brazil
spain
acc @ 32/1
Done the same, with one acc, and 8 x 7 sevenfolds.
Lets hope so ;-) would make up for the hand ball.
Not bad. Rio's apparently gone to hospital for a scan on his knee so his exit would see another defender called up.
Have followed Hudson's considered comments above on Serbia and backed them to win the group at about 7/2 (could set us up a last 16 v Germany?)
I fancy South Korea are slightly underrated and have backed them to go through their group with the Argies at about 5/1
and a mad one on Lampard to be top scorer at 90/1 This is not a tip.
Brazil to win and Fabiano top goalscorer - 25/1
Get ready to claim your cash!
jeez didnt even know that lol
B-]
Yep, one down, so to speak....
