A 2-year-old octopus in Berlin has successfully picked the champions of all five of Germany’s World Cup wins, and also their 2 defeats in online game betting. And a few days before the final, he chose Spain to win 2010′s World Cup.



He was right. Spain beat the Netherlands with a final score of 1-0.

Congratulations to Netherlands on being the 1st squad to make it through to the World Cup wagering final. The Netherlands side has played some incredible soccer this year and has claimed no worse than a second-place finish in 2010′s World Cup odds contest at the sportsbook. They won every game they had performed in, save this one – arguably the most critical. The Netherlands hadn’t seen anything like the Spanish defense in the World Cup odds contest although they had confronted some tough teams and some tough defenses in the World Cup wagering battles.

There have been plenty of ‘good’ defenses in 2010′s World Cup wagering contest but with the exception of Spain, they were all removed. That’s due to the fact Spain could basically be the most balanced side in 2010′s World Cup odds contest with its tough defense coupled with powerful offense.

However, it is the defense that shines through just as it is the Dutch’s offense that has brought it to this final competition of the World Cup wagering. While Holland had a shot (13/8) to win the World Cup wagering final, it would have needed to be at its very best and play almost perfect soccer if it wants to break the Spanish defense. And that, for a squad who has never before won the World Cup, was of course almost certainly asking a little bit too much.

Soccer wagering fans in the know liked this squad as a dark horse ever since it arrived in South Africa, but it started the 2010 World Cup odds as anything but a fave in the soccer wagering odds contest. European teams like England and Spain and South American juggernauts Brazil and Argentina were the favorites in the World Cup wagering, not the Netherlands.

But all of those teams had been sent home with the exception of their World Cup finals adversary Spain. The Netherlands continued to be ready to win the 1st World Cup wagering trophy in the nation’s history, or so they hoped. Both times the squad qualified before, it was knocked out by the host country in a bit of unfortunate circumstances. That occurred twice in 1974 and 1978.

The Netherlands had a squad gifted with a number of the best forwards in the world. But Spain had a squad with a number of the best defense on the planet, as well as a pretty powerful offense. In the end, the Netherlands just weren’t able to break their defense and score.

No squad has ever gone on to win the World Cup after losing their 1st game. Spain lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their beginning game but had not lost since. So in addition to winning the 1st World Cup in their country’s history, Spain has become the 1st country to win the World Cup after losing their 1st game.
