The 2010 World Cup in South Africa
South Africa plays host to the 2010 World Cup this year in what has come to be known as the the planet’s premier sporting event .
The nail biting conclusion to the 2006 world cup saw Italy beat France in a penalty shootout and was watched by a record breaking 26 Billion worldwide viewers. Perennial powerhouse Germany finished third.
In total there are 9 stadiums in which the games will be played, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Capetown, Durban, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Polokwane (Pietersburg), Rustenburg and Nelspruit with the final being played in Johannesburg on July 11, 2010.
The format of the 2010 World cup is group based, there are eight initial groups of 4 teams each. The top two teams from each group progress to the sudden death elimination point of the tournament after the round robin. The initial groups are setup and seeded from the results of the cup qualification process. The first celebrated match of the 2010 world cup is the extremely anticipated Group C game between the US and a Beckhamless England.
The oddsmakers have Spain as favorites to win at 5:1 odds, with Brazil and England in the second and third spots respectively at 6:1 and 7:1 for the 2010 World Cup. As always there are a wide variety of interesting bets to be made including picking the ultimate winner. TheFootballPalace.com… is picking England to win it all.
From an economic viewpoint, the event is expected to gross billions of dollars worldwide through international TV rights, ticketing and the ever popular sale of soccer jerseys, with Brazil and England proving to be amongst some of the more desired items.
Notable players to watch out for during the tournament include the prolific Spanish goal scorer, Torres, the unrestrained Brazilian Ronaldinho and England’s emotional Wayne Rooney. Unfortunately the tournament will be without David Beckham who recently suffered an Achilles injury during league play.
