world cup, who are you backing?

**hibeedonald** · 20-04-2010 05:05 PM

as a dark house paraguay at 66/1... they beat both Argentina and Brazil to get to south Africa and have a good group of young players that play well together.

***HH81*** · 20-04-2010 05:13 PM

I'm sure quite a few on here will be putting large bets on England to win it

I can't see past Brazil or Spain. I'll go for Brazil.

Well it may be seen by some as politically incorrect but A.B.E

Apart from that, hope you have some luck with your betting!

So far I have:

£20.00 Brazil to win world cup (6.2 betfair, I'll lay it at some point probably)
£4 ew Fabiano top scorer(12/1, first 5 place)
£1 ew Klose top scorer(28/1, first 5 place)
£20.00 Rooney - Top English Scorer(11/4)

Klose was a stupid bet, I didn't think to check if he still starts for them...he doesn't. Podolski was 50/1 as well

Edit: Just put a fiver on Germany(15) and the Netherlands(15.5). Both at betfair, I'll lay at some point.

**NYHibby** · 20-04-2010 05:18 PM

Supporting or betting on?

***Hermit Crab*** · 20-04-2010 05:27 PM

Anyone that plays Engerland

***WeAreHibs*** · 20-04-2010 05:30 PM

Argentina - supporting and backing

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 20-04-2010 05:31 PM

Anyone but Mingland, but they won't win it anyway, have seen a bit of Brazil lately and they have a fairly young team, hard one to call but it won't be those arrogant tossers for sure

**hibsboy90** · 20-04-2010 06:11 PM

By all accounts the current spain side are better than the one which won the euros a few years back. Could be a shout, won't put anything on them though, got them in the world cup draw with my pals.

**Long suffering** · 20-04-2010 06:13 PM

Switzerland. and my hot tip is that serbia will reach the semi-finals and will play in a similar manner to russia in euro 2008

***SRHibs*** · 20-04-2010 06:16 PM

**Hibs On Tour** · 20-04-2010 07:05 PM

Let me be the first then...

EN - GER - LUND!

Unless it goes to penalties against anyone!

Not saying they're necessarily the best team out there but looking like a reasonably solid one under Capello and if Rooney stays injury-free they should be in it or thereabouts at the business end...

Helmet on...

He dont start for them either.

**seanraff07** · 20-04-2010 07:09 PM

Would like to see Nigeria win it.

I think Italy will though.

**Hakim Sar** · 20-04-2010 07:09 PM

supporting france (with sympathy for hollands results)

think spain will win it

putting a punt on mexico/argentina to win it

cant wait tbh

**Leicester Fan** · 20-04-2010 07:14 PM

I'll be supporting my home country, what about you lads?

Oh....

**hibeeleicester** · 20-04-2010 07:16 PM

£5 on Argentina at 8/1

**Leicester Fan** · 20-04-2010 07:18 PM

You lads probably don't remember this but England actually won the World Cup in 1966.

**DH1875** · 20-04-2010 07:19 PM

If Torres is Fit then can't see past Spain.
Uruguay or Mexico as outsiders. They in the same group as each other so one of them will go through if not both. Last time I checked paddy power were offering 100-1 on Uruguay to win. Does that work out at 50-1 each way?

I fancy the Netherlands too - don't really know why but I said even before the draw that I thought they were due to do well given that Spain have now got the duck of their back so to speak - being for so long the great under achievers - I also think that Mingerland will do well

- haven't really studied the groups and who plays who after group stages so not sure if it is possible but if it is i would go for Dutch v. Engerland final - - apologies in advance for my "homer moment" if this is not even remotely possible
