Behind them Brazil, five times champion in Group G the “Group of Death ” with Portugal, North Korea, and Cote D’Ivoire with a 11:2 chance of winning their sixth title.
The bookies are expecting to smash the one billion pounds ($1.66 billion) barrier in British betting turnover, according to a William Hill spokesman. Bookies consider this the most open World Cup and the interest and hype has gone through the roof.
