Australia were my early outside pick but the more I look at it the more unlikely it is that they will spring any kind of surprises this year.
Bearing in mind that I like Germany to go all the way to the final, it makes for today's fixture between the two as quite an interesting trade off.
I've backed the Germany to either win 1-0 (5/1) or 2-0 (11/2) when the two sides meet later today.
In the other fixtures for the day Algeria take on Slovenia. The bookies favour Slovenia slightly but I think there might be a bit of a surprise here and would be keen to take Algeria at 7/1 to win 1-0.
In the Serbia versus Ghana fixture I would lean toward Serbia where you can get 9/2 for a 1-0 win in favour of the Serbs.
Happy punting!

US to surprise England tonight
Probably not a very popular pick but I reckon that the US is going to upset England in Rustenburg tonight.
I've put money down on:
The US winning (6/1)
1/0 US - 15/1
2/0 US - 35/1
2/1 US - 22/1
(Odds supplied by World Sports Betting)
The US has a BIG supporter contingent out here in South Africa and when they were for the Confed Cup last year they were full of running and skill and they pushed a lot of teams hard in getting to the final. They knocked out the World Cup favourities Spain (2:0) and they ran hard at Brazil taking a 2:0 lead before going down 2:3.
This US side can play and don't be surprised if they upset the applecart tonight especially when you consider that England have not had the best preparation for this tournament.

World Cup betting updated
There are four days to go until the Fifa 2010 World Cup kicks off and already we have had high drama. Rio Ferdinand and Didier Drogba are out and believe it or not Bafana Bafana are even winning games.
Betting wise there have been some shifts. Here are the latest from World Sports Betting:
Spain - 4/1
Brazil - 9/2
England - 6/1
Argentina - 13/2
Holland - 8/1 (a lot of money has come in here in the last few days)
Germany - 12/1
Italy - 14/1
France - 18/1
Portugal - 25/1
Ivory Coast - 45/1
Serbia - 66/1
Mexico - 70/1
Chile - 75/1
USA - 75/1
Apart from my patriotic pick of Bafana Bafana at 100/1 my other outside bet was Australia - 125/1 otherwise I'm pretty sure Brazil will do the business.
The other two outside punts that look like they offer half decent value are Germany and maybe Chile?

What the hell is wrong with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates?!
I don’t follow South African football much. I pinned my flag to Sundowns a few years back simply to be different but I don’t follow the teams and players particularly closely.
Today the two “powerhouses” of South African soccer – Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates – went head to head for the third time in the season and again produced a goal-less draw. Pirates then missed their first three penalty attempts after extra time while Chiefs sunk theirs, putting Chiefs into the final.
Apparently that is 300 minutes of soccer where these two teams have failed to score against one another.
In the league this year Chiefs finished third, six points off the log leader Supersport while Pirates finished in fifth place with a goal difference of just eight. In fact – of the top 11 sides, Pirates scored the fewest goals.
What the hell is up with these two teams? They are supposed to be the crown jewels of South African football and one would have thought that would involve scoring goals and entertaining their massive supporter bases?

Telkom Knock-out - Kaizer Chiefs versus Pirates
There is an interesting game on the go as the old Derby of South African football gets played out again as Orlando Pirates and Kaizer chiefs go head to head in the Telkom knockout on Monday.
I’ve had horrific luck backing either of these sides to a win and neither side has exactly set the domestic league alight.
However I got 7/1 and 9/1 on either side winning 1-0 or 2-0 so its tempting from that perspective. Went each way with these scores.
Will see what comes from it!

Premiership selections
Some VERY interesting match-ups this weekend with all eyes on the Chelsea vs Manchester United fixture probably going to be a humdinger and in all likelihood a decider for the Premiership. With Rooney not expected to take the field its got to be in Chelseas favour.
Our other left field pick is that Birmingham will beat Liverpool...
Our picks for the weekend
Happy punting!
