Following their competition with the Netherlands on Sunday, Spain has been titled the newest World Cup champ in sports gambling. In a 1-0 victory, Spain became the 1st team in World Cup history to win the Cup after losing their 1st competition and also claimed their 1st ever World Cup championship.



As the 2010 World Cup gambling contest approached there have been lots of reasons for European soccer gambling supporters to be anxious in sportsbook wagering. First on the checklist of worries was the reality that never before in the eighty years of World Cup odds history had a European team won the World Cup wagering contest when it was held off of European soil. The South American teams had owned and won every single World Cup odds contest that had not been played on the favorable confines of the old continent.

And then the Group Stage of the soccer gambling got moving, it appeared as if that trend would continue. The European fave to win the entire World Cup gambling contest, Spain, lost its 1st competition to tiny Switzerland. But that wasn’t all. The much ballyhooed English side played to a draw with the mediocre US squad and hardly qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup odds contest. Worse still, reigning World Cup wagering champ Italy never made it through the Group Stage and 1998 World Cup wagering champ France never even won a single point in the standings in its embarrassing three game run in the 2010 World Cup odds contest.

But fortunately for European soccer gambling supporters the curse is over and a continental team has won a World Cup gambling trophy off of European soil for the 1st time. Guaranteeing that the victor would be a continental European country, Spain and the Netherlands faced off in the finals on Sunday.

It was a classic soccer wagering matchup and a World Cup final to remember. The tournament’s best defense took on arguably the best offense in this year’s World Cup contest.

And the old soccer gambling adage held true that defense tops offense. Not only did Spain lift the 1st World Cup gambling tournament won by a European side outside of Europe, but they also won the country’s 1st World Cup championship also. This might make the team by far the greatest in Spanish history as it already notched the team’s 1st Euro Cup victory in 2008. In fact, it would be recalled as one of the greatest European squads in soccer wagering history.

But maybe the most interesting gambling story of the World Cup gambling action to date has been the race for the Golden Boot. The Golden Boot is one of the most esteemed awards in soccer wagering is awarded at every World Cup odds contest to the person that scores the most goals.

Most people 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. Instead, between the three of them they were able to get only one goal. Germany’s Thomas Mueller took home the trophy this year, also as the “Young Player of the World Cup” award.

It’s been a weird and intriguing World Cup for 2010.
