July 2 - Online betting fans are in shock all over the world as team Brazil,
World Cup defending champions, as well as
online sports book favorite, team
England, were both knocked out of the 2006 World Cup.
Brazil could not gain a foothold against France who beat the South American's by
1-0. It is estimated that a large percentage of online sports betting action was
on Brazil to win its respective matches and, of course, the World Cup itself.
The Brazilians were no match for the right foot of Frenchman, Thierry Henry who
scored the winning goal after a free kick was precisely set up for Henry by
talented team mate, Zinedine Zidane.
Brazil was unable to recover, effectively guaranteeing that the World Cup will
be won a European team this year.
England fared no better than Brazil, and was unceremoniously dispatched back to
the changing rooms after 'chocking' during the penalty shoot-out against team
Portugal. This result sent shockwaves through the
online sports books as an
England victory was expected.
England's inability to make its mark at the World Cup has become almost as
well-known as its a distant victory at World Cup way back in 1966, when
mini-skirts were in, the Beatles were doing their thing and footballers didn't
get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a week!
Now it is down to the wire as Germany and Italy, and France and Portugal battle
it out in the World Cup semi-finals.
