Following their match with the Netherlands on Sunday, Spain has been named the newest World Cup champ in sports gambling. In a 1-0 victory, Spain became the 1st squad in World Cup history to win the Cup after losing their 1st match and also claimed their 1st ever World Cup title. 
There were lots of reasons for European soccer betting fans to be nervous in sportsbook wagering as the 2010 World Cup betting competition approached. Foremost on the list of issues was the reality that never before in the eighty years of World Cup odds history had a European squad won the World Cup betting competition when it was put on off of European soil. Each and every World Cup odds competition that had not been played on the friendly confines of the old continent was owned and won by the South American squads.
And it looked as if that trend would continue when the Group Stage of the soccer betting got going. Spain, the European favorite to win the complete World Cup betting competition, lost its 1st match to tiny Switzerland. But that wasn’t all. The much praised English side played to a draw with the mediocre US squad and scarcely qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup odds competition. Worse still, reigning World Cup betting victor Italy never made it through the Group Stage and 1998 World Cup betting victor France never even obtained just one point in the standings in its humiliating 3 game run in the 2010 World Cup odds competition.
But the curse is over, luckily for European soccer betting fans, and a continental squad has won a World Cup betting championship off of European soil for the 1st time. Guaranteeing that the winner would be a continental European country, Spain and the Netherlands squared off in the finals on Sunday.
It was a timeless soccer betting game and a World Cup final to not forget. The tournament’s biggest defense took on perhaps the biggest offense in this year’s World Cup competition.
And the old soccer betting adage that defense tops offense held true. Not only did Spain hoist the 1st World Cup betting tournament won by a European side outside of Europe, but they also won the country’s 1st World Cup title as well. This might make the squad by far the biggest in Spanish history as it already notched the squad’s 1st Euro Cup victory in 2008. In fact, it will be recalled as one of the greatest European squads in soccer betting history.
But maybe the most fascinating betting story of the World Cup betting action to date has been the contest for the Golden Boot. The Golden Boot is one of the most esteemed awards in soccer betting is awarded at every World Cup odds competition to the person that scores the most goals.
Most individuals considered that participants such as the Argentine Lionel Messi, Britain’s Wayne Rooney and the Portuguese Christiano Ronaldo would be taking the award proceeding into the World Cup betting action. In fact, between the 3 of them they landed only one goal. The “Young Player of the World Cup” award as well as the coveted Golden Boot were taken home this year by Germany’s Thomas Mueller.
It is been a peculiar and exciting World Cup for 2010.
