SOCCEROOS AT BIG ODDS FOLLOWING TOUGH WORLD CUP DRAW


Australia is at odds of $101 to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup after drawing Germany, Serbia and Ghana in their first round group.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Socceroos looked to be up against it after drawing powerhouse Germany in the first pool match.

“As $5.00 outsiders you’d think it will be pretty hard for the Aussies to snare anything from their first game.”

“That may well put them three points adrift of a second round spot right from the start and as a result the Socceroos are $7.00 rank outsiders to win Group D.”

Spain are $5.50 favourites to win the World Cup with England firming from $7.00 to $6.50 following a cozy group draw.
