In their starting match on Friday, France is preferred in 2010 world cup wagering against Uruguay.
France is -110 in 2010 world cup probabilities on the three-way soccer line with Uruguay at 300 and the Draw at 220. The total for the competition is 2 under. South Africa begins the 2010 World Cup by hosting Mexico, sharing the focus with the France-Uruguay competition.
This starting match versus Uruguay will be an significant one for both the French and Uruguay teams, specifically for France who is listed by World Cup gambling odds as the preference to win Group A. France hasn’t performed well recently, although they are the high profile squad. Their past friendly was an unimpressive 1- shutout loss to China several days ago. France wasn’t much better in a friendly versus Tunisia as they performed to a 1-1 draw. Making only one goal in 2 friendlies versus China and Tunisia isn’t the way to be coming into a World Cup.
France needed a missed call in their game against Ireland just to make it to the 2010 world cup, which they just barely qualified for. They did take the 2010 world cup in 1998 but that was on their home soil while this past year they lost in the title game to Italy in a penalty shootout. This year’s France team is definitely not at the level of past year’s team, though they do have some big names and some talent. The World Cup will be the previous one for head coach Raymond Domenech who will leave after the championship. The crucial for France in this starting game versus Uruguay may very well be the health of defender William Gallas who has a calf injury. He may not be ready for the opening game since he has not performed since March.
Uruguay is probably not gaining the respect in this match that they ought to have in World Cup betting. They are in one of only five teams that have won numerous World Cups, and they are rated in the top 20 on the planet. Uruguay struggled in qualifying but triumphed when they had to versus Costa Rica. Uruguay can make goals since they have Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Sebastian Abreu. The French squad is quite overrated in this opening match from Group A in 2010 world cup odds, and Uruguay certainly has the ability to defeat them.
The FIFA 2010 world cup will start on June 11th and is anticipated to play through July 11th. It’s the first time ever that the World Cup has been hosted by an African country. Morocco and Egypt were beaten out by South Africa for the honor. The FIFA 2010 world cup features 32 teams from different nations competing against each other for the championship in football and is held one time every four years. This event has in the past been dominated by Brazil, which holds a record five championships and is the only team to have competed in every tournament. The current champion is Italy, which has won the championship four times total. The following World Cup will be held in 2014 in Brazil.
