Continue ReadingEverybody loves an underdog story, but none more so than World Cup betting aficionados. The current iteration of the global tournament has had its share of breathtaking, heart-stopping performances in which a David has nailed a stone right in between Goliath’s eyes. The most notable example has been ‘umble Costa Rica slaying the supposed giant Italy, and while upstarts Colombia and Belgium have not yet enjoyed that type of single greatest World Cup moment -the kind that gets replayed over and over through the years, such as Maradona’s hand of god- they have far exceeded expectations.
In the FIFA 2014 World Cup Round of 16 this past Tuesday, the 1st of July in the city of Salvador in the Fonte Nova Stadium the United States lost the game to Belgium 2-1 and that became the end of the road for an American dream, but a game and a night few people will forget. Fans in Brazil and others in Boston, Baltimore or Brussels time seemed to come to a standstill and the USA and Belgium went the distance and enthralled the world as fans watched the exciting game.
Memes aside, Luis Suarez’s biting incident and the subsequent ban will send shockwaves across the soccer world and therefore, on soccer betting. The ban might be regarded as a seismic event that will not be limited to just the World Cup. It will affect the Futbol Planet and probably knock it out of orbit. It might seem a bit exaggerated to some, but considering the ins and outs of the ban, if you bet on soccer you will need to consider this.
While the World Cup has been a feast for the eye’s of soccer betting enthusiasts, something else is happening this summer. Transfers rumors will stir things up once preseason begins for all the important European Leagues. And will definitely have a huge impact of the odds and lines for the up coming European Leagues.
Betting online on Spain? Better bet again. Still reigning champions -though not for very long- Spain have been knocked out the World Cup by Chile, with one game yet to go on the group stage. The Spaniards could break goal-scoring records in their last match versus Australia and they would still only amount to three pitiful points, when their tormentors The Netherlands and Chile already have six each, enough to secure their qualification to the next phase of the tournament. All that’s left for Spain now is a loser faces loser match against the socceroos. A formerly formidable squad that also won 2012’s UEFA European Championship and went on a 35-gane winning streak between 2006 and 2009 has fallen into some hard times. What -or who- was the downfall of the soon to be ex-champions? Paradoxically, all fingers are right now pointed at the erstwhile hero and leader of the ‘Roja;’ a man whom his miraculous saves earned the nickname of Saint Iker. That’s right; it may be a cliché but it is nevertheless true: the higher they are the harder they fall. And none have fallen harder than Iker Casillas. If it’s any consolation, this time pride did not come before the fall; it’s tough to picture a more humble idol than Casillas.
A question has risen regarding the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil, and that’s what happens if Brazil does not win the Cup. If you ask Brazilians they will tell you that Brazil will win the games through the final on July 13, 2014 and possibly the cup. That’s optimism that makes sense considering they’re the hosts, playing at home and they have won a total of five (5) World Cups, which is more than any other country. So if the host team gets knocked out in the early games, which could be probable if playing the defending Cup Holder Spain or the runner-up team from 2010 the Netherlands in the first games. Do the Brazilians go sour if they lose or just take the disappointment in stride? Would they gulp losing along with cranked up Samba music and caipirinha cocktails and continue the party?
