me and im very smug..........my biggest ever bet but then again im always smug, its a cross i have to bare.
They are by far the best team in the world. Should be 5/2
im not on spain...and im glad not to be so...u watch them blow out...quarter finals at best imo
wont be any reasoning behind it,just something he said.
Ive been backing them for 2 years!

not as smug as you, but got a fair bit on at 5/1 & 9/2, just trickled it on over a few months.
Can't see who will beat them.
Would you rather back Spain at 9/2 or England at 6/1?

On Spain and Villa top scorer. Very hopeful at least one will cop.
mehmet...work out the fixtures of how u think the groups will finish...if u then think spain can beat all that look set to come before them, then good luck...
i also think, with the expectancy of their nation to succeed this time around, there will be added pressure on them...
i can see just see them bottling it tbh

Backed them at 9's immediately after Euro 08. Feeling confident though have saver on Brazil. Two horse race in my opinion.
Backed them before Euro 08 started, was there in 08, had more bets on it and still pleased, not backed them in the w/c tho
It's the World Cup. It isn't always won by the best side. Argentina were the best side in 2006 and got dumped out in the qf against Germany. Spain can be got at - just look at what the USA did last year in the Confed Cup. I've also got a funny feeling Brazil will come 2nd in their group so we'll have Spain vs Brazil in the last 16.
"Can't see who will beat them. Would you rather back Spain at 9/2 or England at 6/1?"
Pretty silly argument tbf, in a knockout match half a dozen teams or more could beat them. There is no way they are value now. And any bet would be better than backing England at their current show, who without a shadow of doubt are the worst 6/1 shot in betting history! (should be 16s easily)

How is 4/1 not value?
No one can beat them imo.
Brazil have very tough group and are a shadow of former Brazil sides. England have one world class player. Argentina, Germany, Italy etc... aren't good enough

^^ U.S.A beat Spain in confed cup. Brazil win will imo.
Well it quite clearly isn't value for the reasons I explained!
spain should be 12/1 and even then wouldnt be interested in backing them !!
Why should they be 12/1?
They are the current European champions, have an easy group and the best squad by a mile

one geeza said they should be 5/2 has he been smoking crack?
I think you should have posted this in a 2 months time when they have won it not now :)

Heard it all before. You haven't learnt much from previous World Cup's have you.Spain will probably find a way to loose again. Until you understand why they lost to a team like the USA you are on a hiding to nothing.As was winning the Euro Championsip it's means nothing. Totally different competition from the World Cup. Spain won it in 64 and didn't win the World Cup in 66. Only 1 out of the last 12 Eurpean championship winners have gone onto win the World Cup.

Bit worrying that Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas and Torres all
struggling with injuries isn't it? If they all get there in one piece then looks a cracking bet..

Only a complete mug would think that backing the 4/1 favourites to win a cup competition could remotely be described as "value"
A few reasons to concern Spanish punters:
1/. European Team never WC out of the continent.
2/. Torres, Villa, Xavi all carrying knocks.
3/. Never won it. Others have.
Price is fair and 6/1 is ok for you Clarkey - But no way should they be 5/2...Only needs someone to take them to penalties and you are done for.

much rather be backing Brazil at 6.2+ than Spain.
lol the U.S.A beat them in the confed cup, plus South Africa took them to extra time, well over rated lol
I agree that it's between Brazil and Spain and will probably back them both. If Sid James is to be believed, then if I back Brazil with them and Spain win, Ill get my stake back as a freebet? Anyone else done this yet?
Looks pretty clear cut, and Ive had things like this before with no problems, but this is one hell of a biggie - Im wondering if Im missing something but it doesnt look like it!!

Spain are gonna choke. Dont think cos they won euro2008 they are now winners, they will buckle under the weight of expectation.
Everyone thought the dutch would win itlaia90 after winning euro1988. they didnt, rijkaard gobbed at voeller and then they self destructed, same old

PauloM, I cant find the conditions of the free bet on their site but it does say you get one. Anyone know the conditions?
As far as Spain are concerned, Braz/Port/IvC in last 16, possibly Italy in QF and maybe Germany in Semis. No offence but 6/1 doesnt sound that good really unless you are laying off that is.

Clarky the tossser is full of sh1t

THIS IS HOLLANDS TOURNAMENT.........SPAIN ARE LIKE A STRUGGLING ENGLAND TEAM DESPERATE NOT TO CONCEDE.....HOLLAND WILL ATTACK, WITH THE WORLDS PREMIER STRIKE FORCE. AT THREES THEY ARE A GIFT FROM THE FOOTBALLING GODS. SPAIN ARE WEAK, WEAK I TELLS YOU!! to be fair, i do think that the clog wearers will succeed and at three to one are my bet of the the tournement..... reasoning being: spain have struggled to overcome in nearly every match they have played, but the dutch have won every game with ease (nearly) and they made brazil look like amateurs in the second half of the the quarters... plus an extra days rest, plus the extreme pressure on spain, CHOKE, CHOKE, CHOKE!!!!!!!
Passion is in control for Timmysgirl.
What I like about Spain is their ability to hog possession, and do enough. I think that the way they've scored their goal and shut up shop shows maturity and poise. This was certainly brought out when they beat the Germans, who smashed Argentina to pieces with their pace.
Backed at 5/1, and considering a trade out to lock in some greens, regardless of the outcome.
Many more trading out? Like I said, I believe in Spain's ability, but Football is never sure :)
