World Cup

Italy are great World Cup value

If you’re already beginning to look ahead to the World Cup, and you’re fancying a bit of a wager on the overall winner of the tournament then the market seems to think it’s a bit of a done deal already – and the host nation has one hand on the trophy.

The thinking is obvious; Brazil are the best nation team in the whole history of world football and the World Cup in particular and, because this is the first time Brazil has hosted the tournament in the modern era, the home advantage will be more than enough to see them over the line in the Maracana next July 13th.
