Spain Claims World Cup at BetLM

Spain Claims World Cup

FIFA World Cup 2010 has come to an end and the team which is on top of the world is the 2008 Euro cham­pi­ons Spain. Claim­ing their first FIFA World Cup, Spain becomes the eighth dif­fer­ent nation to win the World Cup.

Spain started the bat­tle as favorites in the bet­ting action, while the under­dogs, Hol­land, did their utmost but just came up short.

The per­son who had the max­i­mum impact on the game was the ref­eree Howard Webb, bran­dish­ing the yel­low card left, right and cen­ter. The match was an edgy affair with hard fouls and cyn­i­cal dives; a record num­ber of yel­low cards were given, while John Heitinga was sent off in extra-time. Both teams missed some great chances; Arjen Robben and Cesc Fab­re­gas came up short when they were one on one with the goalie. How­ever, Andres Ini­esta net­ted in the 116th minute to give the Spain their first World Cup title.

The World Cup is now head­ing to the Amer­i­cas, with Brazil host­ing it in 2014. Tipped at +300, Brazil turns out to be the favorites in future odds; the home soil advan­tage along with their remark­able his­tory in World Cups, will def­i­nitely help them have a lead­ing edge over oth­ers. Their neigh­bors, Argentina are the sec­ond favorites, while the 2010 Cham­pi­ons, Spain, are third with +600 odds.
