World Cup fever sweeps across the planet
2010 is certainly the year of global sporting events. What with the FIFA World Cup 2010 already in full swing in South Africa, punters and sports aficionados are lining up to get in on the hottest gaming action. And there’s plenty a pretty penny to be made in the process too. But it’s not only football that punters are placing wagers on – it’s tennis, hockey, Formula 1 racing, UK and Irish horseracing and much more going on. Clearly amidst the massive spectator interest in the football, little else is dominating headlines – at least until after July 11th at the conclusion of the tournament.
Fans of the football have already enjoyed some of the most stunning entertainment with some surprise upsets in England, Korea, Mexico and the USA, but other teams have been showing incredible resolve and determination such as Japan, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain and Portugal. Naturally the performances of Diego Maradona’s Argentinean charges have left the world gasping in awe. The tournament favourites Brazil look set to lock horns in the final – barring no surprise upsets along the way.
For fans of other sports, there’s plenty to go around. The world of tennis is buzzing with the performances of top seeded players in Roger Federer, Jurgen Meltzer, Sharapova and Williams. Wimbledon truly is the ‘strawberries and cream’ tennis tournament of the year. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Americans will be cheering wildly for their most popular sport with the arrival of Super Bowl XLV. Sports fans will hoping that Saints will be able to make it 2 from 2 in the coming year. If Drew Brees can lead the attack once again, then this team is certainly the one to beat going into the next year.
In anticipation of the finale for the FIFA World Cup 2010 I’ve managed to fish out some stunning videos – here’s an example of one such example:
