Point-Spreads.com has polled several 2010 World Cup Picks Experts to figure out what are the best bets for Group B. Lionel Messi is looking to cement his legacy in South Africa and bring home a title to soccer crazy Argentina. With a great mix of youth and experience playing on the Argentinian side, everyone expects them to go far in the tournament with many saying that they will reach the final or win it outright. The 2010 World Cup Picks experts at online sportsbook BETUS.com have Argentina listed as a -250 odds favorite to win Group B.
"There is nothing more to say about Group B except that it is Argentina’s to lose," stated 2010 World Cup Picks Expert Mick Bergen of VegasSports-Odds.com. "The Albicelestes, one of the tournament favorites, have played well leading up to the tournament and have arguably the best player in the world with Messi. Although Greece performed well in the Euro 2004 championship, they have had less than stellar performance since then and leading up to the World Cup. The Nigerian Super Eagles are a speedy team but the level of talent just isn’t up to par with their International opponents while the Korea Republic reached the semis in 2002 and has every chance to qualify this year. Argentina should easily qualify from Group B and I also expect the Korea Republic to upset Greece and go along with them."
The 2010 World Cup Picks Experts at online bookmaker BETUS.com have Nigeria listed at +450 odds to win Group B. Bet your 2010 World Cup Picks at BETUS.com and receive up to 155% in Cash Bonuses.
"Unless their are major injuries suffered by Argentina, they should cruise through Group B," stated 2010 World Cup Picks Expert Martin Bishop of Sports-Odds.com. "The real question will be which team will advance along with Argentina into the second round. That should be decided when Greece takes on Nigeria on June 17th. Greece stunned the world when they won EURO 2004 but will come up short against this Nigerian squad."
Online bookmaker BETUS.com has Greece listed at +700 odds and South Korea listed at +1000 odds to win Group B. Most experts believe that Argentina and Nigeria will advance into the second round of the 2010 World Cup but one of our experts believes long shot South Korea is worth a bet.
"Messi (Lionel) has told people around him that he wants to create a legacy, wants to be regarded as one of the best players in history" stated 2010 World Cup Picks Expert and member of Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning team Ossie Ardiles in an opinion piece for the Telegraph.co.uk. "He craves the pedestal enjoyed by the Brazilian Pele, three times a World Cup winner, and Maradona himself. But to be seen as a genius Messi must take his brush and paint a masterpiece at this World Cup. At worst, he must have a very, very good World Cup and take his nation to the brink of victory."
