I guess we can make Serbia & Montenegro 1200/1 now. :D

They don't mention Mexico ... I would had liked to know Mexico's too.

I'm 100% sure neither Portugal or Italy will win GOLD.

The odds are so high against them they were not included as the bet is not on the boards. I think they were removed when the odds went to 600/1.
I could be wrong.

Iraq's odds should be increasing right about now...

Tunisia 26/1
Australia 101/1I'm actually pretty surprised at the disparity here. True, Australia lost 1-0 to Tunisia in a preparation match, but it was a tight match that by all rights Australia should have won. Their finishing was atrocious, but they controlled the match to a far greater extent than Tunisia. I'd expect Tunisia to be more favoured, but not by that much.

S&M's odds kind of threw me, mainly because I didn't know much about them before the tournament. I understand they came R-U to Italy in the qualifying tournament, so I guess that accounts for it. Can someone say if they've been playing below their usual standard the past couple of matches?

And Japan/Iraq.

Well, seeing as they don't have the ability to qualify anymore for Quarterfinals, i'd say the only chance they have is for the other 15 teams to vanish off the face of the earth.

Portugal - No more chance for Gold

Italy - Still have a chance for Gold

So, right now i'm 50% correct. I could be wrong about Italy.

[Tellah]

Unbe-freakin'-leavable.

Portugal's odds just flew up to 1,000,000/1!

Odds going into the QFs:

ARGENTINA 5/6
ITALY 7/2
PARAGUAY 13/2
IRAQ 15/2
MALI 10/1
KOREA 12/1
AUSTRALIA 14/1
COSTA RICA 22/1

I would have thought Paraguay would be rated more highly than Italy, based on recent performances and the respective difficulty of each's path to the final.

Completely agree. The two South American teams have proven solid. To have Paraguay 6.5 to 1 is good for the peeps who believe in them, considering they are in the other bracket. 4 to 1 would sound about right to me.
