Following their game with the Netherlands on Sunday, Spain has been named the latest World Cup champion in sports gambling. In a 1-0 win, Spain claimed their 1st ever World Cup title and also became the 1st team in World Cup history to win the Cup after losing their 1st game.



As the 2010 World Cup betting tournament approached there were lots of reasons for European soccer betting supporters to be worried in sportsbook wagering. Primarily on the list of worries was the fact that never before in the 80 years of World Cup probabilities history had a European team won the World Cup wagering tournament when it was held off of European soil. Each World Cup probabilities tournament that had not been played on the favorable confines of the old continent was dominated and won by the South American squads.

And then the Group Stage of the soccer betting got moving, it looked as if that trend would continue. The European fave to win the whole World Cup betting tournament, Spain, lost its 1st game to tiny Switzerland. But that wasn’t all. The much praised English side hardly qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup probabilities tournament after they played to a tie with the mediocre US squad. Worse still, defending World Cup wagering champion Italy never progressed out of the Group Stage and 1998 World Cup wagering champion France never even landed a single point in the standings in its humiliating 3 game run in the 2010 World Cup probabilities tournament.

But fortunately for European soccer betting supporters the curse is over and a continental team has won a World Cup betting championship off of European soil for the 1st time. Spain and the Netherlands faced off in the finals on Sunday, ensuring that the winner would be a continental European nation.

It was a timeless soccer wagering competition and a World Cup final to remember. The tournament’s greatest defense took on arguably the greatest offense in this year’s World Cup tournament.

And the old soccer betting adage that defense tops offense held true. Not only did Spain win the country’s 1st World Cup title, but they hoisted the 1st World Cup betting championship won by a European side outside of Europe as well. As it already notched the squad’s 1st Euro Cup win in 2008, this could make the team by far the greatest in Spanish history. In fact, it will be recalled as one of the finest European teams in soccer wagering history.

However the race for the Golden Boot has been perhaps the most fascinating betting story of the World Cup betting competition so far. The Golden Boot is one of the most renowned awards in soccer wagering is granted at every World Cup probabilities tournament to the person that scores the most goals.

Heading into the World Cup betting competition, most individuals believed that competitors such as the Argentine Lionel Messi, Britain’s Wayne Rooney and the Portuguese Christiano Ronaldo would be taking the award. Instead, between the 3 of them they landed only one goal. The “Young Player of the World Cup” award as well as the coveted Golden Boot were taken home this year by Germany’s Thomas Mueller.

It is been a weird and exciting World Cup for 2010.
