Ivory Coast Betting Lines

Quite possibly the most important match up of the first round, both Ivory Coast and Portugal are trying to fight to determine who moves on to the next round as Brazil is a shoo in to move on, and North Korea is getting knocked out no matter what.

With the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in the not so distant future, teams are trying to qualify at a frantic pace for the first ever World Cup in Africa. As of the first round, 23 of the 32 teams have qualified for the world’s most prestigious soccer event, most notably Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentina and Spain, who have all qualified for at least nine straight World Cup events. Both Spain and the Netherlands had cake walks to their qualifying process, finishing a combined 19-0-0 to earn their spots. Both teams are serious contenders to win it all in South Africa next year.
