World Cup Soccer Betting - Odds To Win Group G - 05-23-06
May 23 - When the 2006 World Cup kicks off in Germany all eyes will be on the Group games as the 32 teams are initially divided into 8 groups. Here are the latest World Cup soccer odds to win Group G, along with a preview of the four teams in that group.
Group G is headed by France, the seeded team. The French have something to prove following a poor effort in the last World Cup in South Korea. They were the defending champions for the last world cup following their brilliant effort to win the World Cup in 1998, but that's just a distant memory now.
The rest of this group does not look terribly threatening to France, although Swizterland could easily win this group and demote France to the runner-up position.
The betting to win Group G is provided courtesy of Bet365.com, and they are one of our recommended choices if you're looking to open an online sports betting account to bet on the World Cup.
France 4/9 Switzerland 7/2 South Korea 8/1 Togo 14/1
South Korea stunned the world by reaching the semi-finals of the previous World Cup, but home teams have a fantastic record typically in the World Cup. It would be far more surprising if they make it to the second round of this tournament.
Togo may well be the worst team at the 2006 World Cup. We caught a glimpse of them at the African Nations cup and let's put it this way, they're unlikely to threaten France. If you want to root for a World Cup betting underdog then this is your team.
