Following their competition with the Netherlands on Sunday, Spain has been crowned the latest World Cup champion in sports gambling. In a 1-0 victory, Spain became the first squad in World Cup history to win the Cup after losing their first competition and also claimed their first ever World Cup championship. 
As the 2010 World Cup gambling contest approached there were plenty of reasons for European soccer gambling buffs to be anxious in sportsbook wagering. Foremost on the checklist of worries was the reality that never before in the eighty years of World Cup odds history had a European squad won the World Cup betting contest when it was held off of European soil. The South American teams had dominated and won every single World Cup odds contest that had not been played on the friendly confines of the old continent.
And it appeared as if that trend would continue when the Group Stage of the soccer gambling got underway. Spain, the European favorite to win the entire World Cup gambling contest, lost its first competition to tiny Switzerland. But that was not all. The much praised English side hardly qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup odds contest after they played to a draw with the mediocre US squad. Worse still, defending World Cup betting champion Italy never made it through the Group Stage and 1998 World Cup betting champion France never even landed just one point in the rankings in its embarrassing three game run in the 2010 World Cup odds contest.
But the curse is over, thankfully for European soccer gambling buffs, and a continental squad has won a World Cup gambling championship off of European soil for the first time. Guaranteeing that the champ would be a continental European country, Spain and the Netherlands faced off in the finals on Sunday.
It was a timeless soccer betting matchup and a World Cup final to remember. The championship’s biggest defense took on perhaps the biggest offense in this year’s World Cup contest.
And the old soccer gambling adage that defense tops offense held true. Not only did Spain lift the first World Cup gambling championship won by a European side outside of Europe, but they also won the country’s first World Cup championship as well. This might make the squad by far the biggest in Spanish history as it already notched the team’s first Euro Cup victory in 2008. In fact, it would be remembered as one of the best European teams in soccer betting history.
But the contest for the Golden Boot has been maybe the most fascinating gambling story of the World Cup gambling competition so far. The Golden Boot is one of the most renowned trophies in soccer betting is granted at every World Cup odds contest to the person that scores the most goals.
Most individuals thought that participants such as the Argentine Lionel Messi, Britain’s Wayne Rooney and the Portuguese Christiano Ronaldo would be taking the award proceeding into the World Cup betting competition. In fact, between the three of them they were able to get only one goal. Germany’s Thomas Mueller took home the prize this year, as well as the “Young Player of the World Cup” award.
It’s been a weird and interesting World Cup for 2010.
