Odds:

According to oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com,
Spain is the favorite to win the World Cup with 4/1 odds.

2010 World Cup Qualifying:

Spain qualified for the World Cup by going 10-0-0 in UEFA Qualifying Group 5.

Spain scored 28 goals and allowed five in the 10 games and just dominated the group. However, its qualifying group didn’t feature any other World Cup qualifying teams.

Betting Analysis:

Spain is injury free and ready to compete in Group H where it joins
Switzerland,
Honduras, and

Chile.
Spain should easily reach the 16-team tournament, but from there you have to be concerned that

Spain has never played in the title game and now it is expected to win it all.
Spain did go on a 35-match unbeaten streak from 2007-2009, which has given many belief that 2010 is
Spain’s year, but a June 24, 2009 loss to

United States ended that streak. Since that loss,
Spain hasn’t lost again, with its best win coming against

France. Still, when push comes to shove, we still would put our money behind a proven winner like

Brazil over the Spaniards simply out of history and consistency on the World Cup stage.
