Over the first few days of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the scoring has been lackluster at best, as teams attempt to feel one another out. For instance World Cup betting on matches, such as England versus USA or Argentina versus Nigeria, has been disappointing. In the England versus USA matchup, the two squads tied at one, although many expected the Brits to cruise to a victory. Conversely although Argentina defeated Nigeria one to nothing, they should have destroyed them by four or five.

On Sunday, 2010 World Cup betting odds on Germany increased as they set the bar for how to win a first game in the tournament. The Germans crushed the Australians, four to nothing, in a game in which the Germans appeared to be in complete control from start to finish. What’s more intriguing about the three time World Cup champions, dismantling of the Aussie’s is that each of the four goals was scored by a different player, displaying the depth the Germans have.

Going into the tournament, many experts, felt that the Germans would be lucky to get out of the group stages of the tournament, as star forward Michael Ballack, had to miss the tournament due to injury. After yesterday’s strong effort, the Germans proved that with Ballack they would be stronger, but without him they were just fine. As well, of all the teams in group D, Australia was slated to be Germany’s toughest match, and if the Germans can continue to exercise their dominance, they will have some of the higher northbet.com odds at winning the 2010 World Cup.

Later this week, matches to look forward too, include Spain vs. Switzerland and the up and coming Cote d’Ivoire vs. Portugal. In the latter match, the Cote d’Ivoire is led by Chelsea star Dregba and look to be one of the dark horses to win the tournament.
