England are now second favourites to win the World Cup after last week's dream draw in Leipzig. Sven's men are in to 6/1 from 7/1 after being drawn against Paraguay, Sweden, and Trinidad and Tobago. In contrast, Argentina have been pushed out from 6/1 to 7/1, following the news that they are in the 'group of death' against Ivory Coast, Holland and Serbia.
However, the betting value at present may lie with with Germany, currently available at a best price of 8.6/1 with Pinnacle Sports Betting.
Germany look to have an even easier first-stage group than England, facing as they do the combined football might of Costa Rica, Poland and Ecuador. They will also have the massive advantage of playing at home, and while some of their recent results have been less than impressive, you can bet that national pride plus the legendary German efficiency will ensure that they are a team to reckon with come next summer.
I don't necessarily expect Germany to go all the way even so, but they are well worth backing now in the near-certainty that their price will shorten after the first group stage (and probably before). You can then lay them for a guaranteed profit on the exchanges.
