Of the eight teams left in the competition, the only ones I would disregard are Ghana & Paraguay. I wouldn't totally rule out Uruguay, mainly due to an easy(ish) draw and a strikeforce that are on fire for club & country.
We have had only one penalty shoot out so far and with the big guns coming together now surely you cannot rule out another one, in fact you'd be a fool to do so. This makes BET365 offer that they will refund your outright winner bet should your team be eliminated on penalties a pretty good offer.
Before the competition started I backed two teams to win the World Cup, nothing serious, just a few quid to keep interest going. I plumped for Spain & Holland. Now both those teams are plodding along nicely but neither is blowing away teams with fantastic displays of football, and it is not beyond the realms of possibilities that if they keep playing tight organised football they could end up in a shootout. Unfortunately I didn't back them with BET365 so my nerves will be shredded if the dreaded penalty kicks come into play.
So if you fancy a bet on the outright winners I suggest covering your backs and doing so with BET365, at least penalties won't have you hyperventilating.
