In the world of soccer, nothing is bigger then the World Cup. It is similar in importance to the NFL’s Superbowl for those football fans and Americans who can’t seem to figure out why the World Cup is such a big deal. For the rest of the world, it is a very big deal. Consider it simply a matter of preference. Most of the globe loves soccer.

Americans are lukewarm in general to the game. The World Cup is not only an exciting time for sports fans in other countries, it is also quite exciting for bettors. The World Cup provides some of the best sports betting because so many people get involved. This means that there is a chance to make a lot of money, but of course, also to lose it for those who bet wrong.

This year, the World Cup finals include Spain and Netherlands, two teams that have never won the big prize. They will be playing it out in Johannesburg, South Africa at Soccer City Stadium for the entire world to see.

The Netherlands played their way into the finals by beating Uruguay 3-2 in the tournament’s semi-final round. Top players Arjen Robenn and Wesley Sniejder led the way. Each man scored one goal. Rafael Van Der Vaart and Giovani Van Brockhurst both played exceptional as well. Spain beat Germany 1-0 in order to qualify for the most important game of them all, the World Cup finals.
