Maybe a bit early as players may still pick up injuries however...

Diego Costa looking big if he can stay fit and gets game time

Just having a quick browse and 3 jump off the page for me at the moment:

Mario Balotelli @ 33/1 - Italy should be assured of progressing past the group stages and have a good record once the knockout begins. He often comes good on the big occasion and his penalty taking comes in handy too.

Marco Reus @ 66/1 - Germany generally share the goals around but this guy is probably their biggest attacking threat along with Muller who is half the price.

Jackson Martinez @ 100/1 - Colombia are my idea of a good, big priced e/w bet for the tournament. Martinez will likely form an exciting front 3 with James Rodriguez and Falcao. He's been on fire for Porto this season and could easily make this 3 figure price look very,very big indeed.

Can't have Costa or Ballotelli.

Both nations have very very tough groups.

Would go with Lukaku at around the same price. No Benteke to compete with and should walk the group

Agree on Martinez, could be strong value.

Higuain at 25/1 interests me, assuming he leads the line for Argentina. He got 4 at the last world cup and this group looks very easy, a good early game or two and he could have it sewn up.

im having some f that balotelli...
they look more organised.

doubt about costa has to be spain dont play a pressign game so cant rely on moments of chaoes after the pressing midfielders have just won the ball.
they build play up and what i witnessed v italy was costa is gonna need time to adjust to their style of play.

Given the group and home nation surely hey mar will come in with a few goals.?

Luis Suarez at 16/1 could be value if getting out of the group imo.
Report Winner_Winner_Chicken_Diner April 18, 2014 8:45 PM BST
I put up a bet on Bacca @ 900 ages ago but nobody bit. He's a pure beast, similar to coasta. Scored goals with ease at club brugge and has done similar things at Seville. He should get game time but its a speculative interest bet.


Italy are a tricky one, if Prandelli picks the right set of players I think they can win it, He's waiting on Rossi who is back training and apparently Cassano is out if he makes it which is madness to me given how he is playing. Rossi is at a pivotal point of his career, surely another serious injury could end it all (he's had 3) now pretty must back to back but the lad is an amazing player, straight back into running the show at the start of the season showed how good he was!
But he may be risking his career however every world cup has a story, could he be the new Rossi of 82? :)
It would be epic!

Can't see Rossi starting even if he was fit.

You can't? How do you come to that conclusion? Its wrong, if he's fit he starts

Suarez for me. Like stewarty said if they get out the group

Segundo Castillo for me at 500/1
Report marquinhos April 23, 2014 11:55 AM BST
segundo castillo is a defensive mid, what sort of silly mug backs this guy at 500/1
dzeko currently the best value at 100/1. should be closer to 40/1

Messi drifting.

Any negative news or just going out to the price he should be?

Cheers Toffee.

That explains it. He'll probably find a way to not pay if it cops.
