World Cup 2010 Group C comprises England, USA, Slovenia and Algeria. Paddy Power predicts that the Group C teams will finish first, second, third and fourth, respectively. The odds for England and USA are 4/11 and 4/7, respectively.
England is the hot favorite of the group and USA is expected to give it stiff opposition. Slovenia and Algeria, although generally considered to be weak teams, are capable of performing well. The Slovenia – USA match is expected to be a tough battle and simply cannot be missed. Since England and United States are placed in a group of weak teams, the England – USA match is bound to be spectacular—one that will decide the fate of either teams and of the punters who bet on them.
The English team has 8 successive teams to its credit, but seems to have met its match in the American team. Slovenia has also given the team a tough time during a recent match at Wembley. The English fortunes, therefore, depend a lot on the talents of its players Wayne Rooney and Emlie Heskey.
The American team has been very successful in 2009. They reached the Confederation Cup Finals and beat Brazil. Coach Bill Bradley is efficient. Since the team is England’s equal, the match between the two will be worth watching.
Making a betting decision on Group C is going to be difficult although the matches will be quite entertaining. Punters must make a careful decision based on the previous performances of these teams and their various strengths and weaknesses.
