The...by selectabet at December 1st, 2010 at 09:12 pm

Uruguay v Germany: Betting PreviewUruguay v Germany Betfair’s Tobias Gourlay wouldn’t dare contradict the psychic octopus, but he does wonder whether Uruguay are a bit too long to win the third-place playoff. The penultimate, but least important, match of South Africa 2010 takes place at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, on Saturday night between the losers of the midweek semi-finals....by Betfair at July 10th, 2010 at 04:07 pm
Germany v Spain: Betting PreviewGermany v Spain One thing we can be sure of is that it will be an all-European World Cup final after the Netherlands qualified by defeating Uruguay 3-2 in the first semi-final to set up a final showdown against one of Germany or Spain. We can be less sure of the outcome of the second semi-final in Durban on Wednesday night. Germany and Spain have both won four and lost...by Paul Harper at July 7th, 2010 at 07:07 am
Uruguay v Netherlands: Betting PreviewUruguay v Netherlands Our very own Paul Harper has returned safe and well from South Africa and having seen the Dutch in the flesh he’s in a great position to tell us how he thinks they’ll fare against the Uruguayans.

Back Home: “I survived World Cup 2010″Paul Harper, our intrepid tipster, braved the South African winter, the vuvuzelas and some well-dodgy England performances in search of his own World Cup experience.

After just under three weeks in South Africa at the World Cup, I’m...by Paul Harper at July 5th, 2010 at 01:07 pm

Paraguay v Spain: Betting PreviewParaguay v Spain Betfair’s Tobias Gourlay thinks Spain have enough about them now to overcome another set of defence-oriented opponents. In the fourth quarter-final of South Africa 2010 either Paraguay or Spain will win the opportunity to compete in their first-ever World Cup semi-final.

Netherlands v Brazil: Betting PreviewNetherlands v Brazil The connoisseurs are complaining, but Betfair’s Tobias Gourlay sees little to dislike about Dunga’s Brazil. The Netherlands and Brazil got out of their groups easily and are unbeaten to this stage.
