 The rest of the football world isn't giving Uruguay much of chance a to win the trophy in South Africa this month and that goes for online sportsbooks as well. La Celeste are listed as 125-1 betting longshots in 2010 World Cup odds and +350 to win the Group A bracket alongside France, Mexico and the host country South Africa. Uruguay will face France in their opening game on June 11th but are far from being scared of playing the 1998 champions. They won't dictate how we play our football. They'll have a lot of respect for our team and we'd love a repeat of the kind of performances we had against Israel and Switzerland," said head coach Oscar Tabarez last week. This will be the second trip to the finals for Uruguay in the past twenty years and striker Sebastion Abreu (Botafogo) played an intrical role in both World Cups. "This trip is special because it's my second World Cup - something unthinkable at this point in my career. I have more experience and I will try to transmit that to the squad," said Abreu. Coach Tabarez will have a squad comprised of players from the Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues including forward Diego Forlan (Atletico Madrid) and goal keeper Fernando Muslera (Lazio). Bet Uruguay +265 vs France in their Group A bracket first round match and 125-1 in 2010 World Cup odds to win the tournament in South Africa. The Uruguay squad had a scare on Sunday when Forlan and midfielder Walter Gargano (Napoli) collided during training hurting his left foot but seemed to be fine minutes later. La Celeste has had a successful warm up heading into 2010 World Cup odds with International friendly wins over Switzerland 3-1 and Israel 4-1. Defenders Diego Lugano (Fenerbahce) and Diego Godin (Villarreal) will be clearing the box for Tabarez while Sebastian Fernandez (Banfield) and Luis Suarez (Ajax) will join Forlan and Abreu up front. Bet Uruguay +350 as a longshot in World Cup 2010 odds to win the Group A bracket in South Africa. Uruguay: Group A MatchesJune 11 - 20:30 Uruguay vs France |
