Updated 2014 World Cup Odds

Team Odds
Brazil 3-1
Germany 4-1
Argentina 4-1
Netherland. 6-1
France 7-1
Belgium 15-1
Colombia 18-1
Mexico 22-1
Chile 25-1
Uruguay 30-1
USA 40-1
Costa Rica 40-1
Greece 80-1
Switzerland. 80-1
Nigeria 200-1

The first 4 are a push to me, but Greece could be a sleeper. Netherland could pull it out too.


A Norwegian living in Trondheim, made a bet at 175-1 odds that Suare would bite someone during the World Cup and, on a hunch, placed the equivalent of a $5.25 US bet. He won about 916 US

Chile are worth a bet IMHO. Shame they have Brazil, but you never know.

I saw this. I have a picture of it somewhere. I think his punishment was way too lenient. He has a serious problem.

BRASILIA, Brazil — Ghana's cash-strapped football association has asked for an advance on the $8 million prize money it is guaranteed from the World Cup to pay outstanding debts to players.

FIFA said Wednesday that Ghana's request was "under evaluation."

FIFA's statement appeared to contradict Ghana's deputy sports minister, who said that as much as $3 million in cash would be flown into Brazil from the West African nation to finally pay the bonuses to unhappy players and avert a possible player strike.

It wasn't clear how Ghana would bring such a large amount of cash into the country without declaring it and paying tax on it in line with Brazilian law.

World Cup prize money — which ranges in Brazil from $8 million for being knocked out in the group stage to $35 million for winning the title — is normally paid after the tournament.

The Ghana Football Association insisted that the problem had been resolved after intervention by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, who had spoken to players and guaranteed they would get their money by Wednesday afternoon, the GFA said.

Yet FIFA hasn't yet made a decision on handing over any prize money to Ghana in advance.

The bonus row seriously disrupted Ghana's preparations for its decisive Group G game against Portugal on Thursday, although Ghana midfielder Christian Atsu dismissed fears the team would boycott its final group game in Brasilia, which the Ghanaians need to win to stand any chance of reaching the second round.

Could've effected their last game

Great game between Brazil and Chile. Both teams gave 100%, but I think the better team won. It was a tough call, but I did not agree with the call against Hulk for the hand ball. To me, the game should not have gone on for as long as it did because Brazil deserved the goal that Hulk scored.

Goal of the tournament so far scored in the Columbia V Uruguay game. What a stunner.
