Quick World Cup Betting Round Up

Now that many of the squads have been announced and the last few games in the domestic seasons played, you would have expected the odds to shift for 2006 World Cup football betting.

Surprisingly, there hasn't been much movement, which suggests some extremely confident bookmakers out there. Even Wayne Rooney's top goalscorer odds haven't moved that much.

Nevertheless, according to SportingOdds, the favourites are as follows :

Brazil: 11/4
Germany: 15/2
Argentina: 8/1
England: 8/1
Italy: 9/1
Holland: 10/1
France: 12/1
Spain: 14/1

They are offering each way odds on places 1/2 and France look a good bet at 12/1 to reach the final. Perennial outsiders Czech Republic at 25/1 may also be worth a punt - they are classic underachievers, but if Koller is fit and with Skacel on form in Scotland, they might spring a surprise this time.
