Day 1 - Bet Of The Day

Here we go, the FIFA 2010 World Cup is about to kick off so lets try and take some money out of the bookies satchels.

Our guaranteed profit bet today is on the South Africa v Mexico game and can be found HERE, please take a look and get your World Cup off to a winning start.

The evening game features Uruguay v France. Now I believe in what goes around comes around and would love to see France crash out at the group stage due to the contentious manner in which they qualified for South Africa 2010 at the Republic of Ireland's expense. But fate does not always deal you an even hand and I can't see our Gallic cousins failing to qualify. They do have a difficult game to start with though, facing Uruguay who are no pushovers.

France have had to change their style of play now that Lassana Diarra has been ruled out of the tournament through injury, while their South American opponents have gimlet-eyed goal machines Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez up front. Uruguay at 11/4 looks cracking value in a three-horse race.

Bet of the day:

Uruguay to beat France @ 11/4 with Sky Bet

48 Hours To Go

Well it is nearly upon us so lets have a look at what is happening around South Africa today:

Spanish genius Andres Iniesta, should be fit for the start of the tournament. Iniesta was withdrawn as a precaution after sustaining a "minor muscle injury" in the first half of Spain's 6-0 win over Poland last night.

Tim Cahill is doubtful for the Sheilaroos' opening game against Germany on Sunday night, because of neck-knack.

England coach Fabio Capello angrily scolded a group of photographers ahead of Wednesday's training session. Capello took exception to his players being filmed inside a building that also houses a medical room and rounded on those responsible, demanding to know: "Why do you take photos of the rooms? No excuses."

France Fail In Final Friendly

France lost 1-0 to China in Réunion island in their final warm-up match before the start of the World Cup.

The result must have dealt a massive blow to France's confidence as the 2006 World Cup finalists have conceded a goal in each of their last three friendlies while scoring only three times.

France drew 1-1 with Tunisia last weekend and beat Costa-Rica 2-1 last month. They open their World Cup campaign against Uruguay on 11 June, before taking on Mexico and hosts South Africa in Group A.

Remember, China failed to qualify for the World Cup and they were also missing several first-choice players against our Gallic cousins. With the likes of freescoring Diego Forlan to face with Uruguay, and the nippy Mexicans who did so well beating the Italians, maybe its worth taking a closer look at who may qualify from Group A.

**************************

France to win group 6/5

Mexico 10/3

Uruguay 7/2

South Africa 13/2

7 Days & Counting

Well we are down to the last week before the big kick off and things are certainly hotting up.

Last night ITALY fell to a surprise defeat against fellow qualifiers MEXICO, losing 2-1 with a late consolation goal at the death the only bright spot for the Italians. Maybe ENGLAND's recent 3-1 victory over the Mexicans is looking a better result than was reported at the time.

Elsewhere a late goal by Jesus Navas gave pre tournament favourites SPAIN a narrow 1-0 victory over SOUTH KOREA. Those taking an interest in the top goalscorer market should take note that Fernando Torres remained on the bench throughout the game after his recent knee surgery.

GERMANY were in efficient mood as usual when despatching BOSNIA 3-1 in their final warm up game in Frankfurt. One to watch in the first goalscorer market for the Germans could be midfielder Bastien Schweinsteiger, who scored two penalties yesterday.

Elsewhere striker Jozy Altidore is a major doubt for USA's opener aginst ENGLAND after being hospitalised with an ankle injury, although after watching him for Hull last season it would probably be better for the three lions if he actually played on June 12th.

BETTING THOUGHT OF THE DAY

With LIVERPOOL having dispensed with the services of Rafa Benitez, the betting is hotting up as to who will succeed him? Having looked through the betting odds I feel a couple of bets offer decent value.

Jurgen Klinsmann, who was heavily linked with the reds a few seasons ago is a massive 16/1 with Blue Square which is surely worth considering, especially as he is out of work and would require no compensation being paid by the cash strapped club.

However I think the 4/1 on offer for Kenny Dalglish is just too good to turn down as the feeling is LIVERPOOL will appoint the Scotsman on a short term contract whilst continuing to find a buyer for the club. Grab the 4/1 with VCBet as soon as you can as it is sure to tumble over the coming days.
