World Cup Soccer Results - Italy Defeat Germany 07-04-06
July 4 - There was another World Cup betting upset today as the underdogs in terms of the odds, Italy, defeated Germany 2-0 in extra time to advance to the Final of the 2006 World Cup.
Germany were the new favorites to win the World Cup following Brazil's surprise elimination in the quarter-finals, but the expert soccer handicappers at Mycapper.com picked Italy to advance in this semi-final. They argued that Germany were overrated by the oddsmakers, and so it proved.
Italy were fantastic value for money in the betting for this game, and you could get 14/10 or +140 odds on them to advance to the Final. The 90-minute result for the game was a 0-0 draw, which also paid out nicely at 2/1 or +200 following some late betting support across the board with online sportsbooks.
Portugal play France tomorrow in the second semi-final. Mycapper has another guaranteed winning pick for this game, as they look to win their 7th game out of the last 8 (only the Brazil loss prevented them from a perfect 8-game sweep)!
France are the betting favorites here at 11/10 or +110 to win in regulation time. Portugal are +320 or 3.2/1 while the draw is trading at +205.
