2010 FIFA World Cup – Round of 8

There was a little of everything in this week’s round of 16 games, the first knockout round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The USA loss was agonizing to watch (at least for USA fans), England and Mexico got screwed (at least they got an apology, so that’ll help — NOT!), and the Paraguay v Japan game was boring as hell until the shootout.

Here is the schedule for the teams that moved onto the round of 8:

Friday July 2

10:00 AM EST: Netherlands v Brazil

02:30 PM EST: Uruguay v Ghana

Saturday July 3

10:00 AM EST: Argentina v Germany

02:30 PM EST: Paraguay v Spain

Of these four matches, the bookmakers have Spain as the largest favorite, while the odds on the Argentina v Germany game suggest that this will be the most even of the matchups. Also look for the Argentina v Germany game to be the highest scoring of the games, and the Uruguay v Ghana game to be the lowest scoring.

Intertops Sportsbook has complete coverage of all manner of 2010 FIFA World Cup bets.

$100,000 World Cup Bracket

Registered Intertops.com customers can compete in a $100K World Cup bracket contest. Just pick all 64 matches correctly (team to win or draw in the group phase, team to progress in the knockout phase) and win $100K. Here is the prize structure from the Intertops.com $100,000 World Cup Bracket contest page.

“The customer with 64 correct picks will receive the main prize of $100,000. Should more customers have 64 correct picks, the main prize will be divided equally between them. If there is no perfect bracket, the customer with the most correct picks will receive a $5,000 first prize. Should two or more customers be tied for first, then the $5,000 prize will be divided equally between them. Customers finishing 2nd – 20th in the final Bracket ranking will receive an equal share of an additional $5,000 prize-money. Should more than one player be tied for 20th place, then these players will also be added to those eligible for the prize money.”

Intertops.com is also offering a DOUBLE World Cup boost with two 20% Deposit Bonus offers for the tournament. This promotion runs right up until the start of the World Cup final on July 11th and you can enjoy up to $50 more on each of two separate deposits – and to make things even better, you can choose exactly when you want to claim your extra cash!

If the $100K bracket and the deposit bonuses aren’t enough for you, there’s more: every dollar wagered on the matchups at the soccer World Cup means an extra ticket in the end-of-tournament draw for a luxury trip to Super Bowl XLV!

Intertops.com is a long-time 5-star rated sportsbook. It’s a site that you can trust, and one that I recommend for all players.
