This summer sees South Africa host the most prestigious footballing trophy there is: The World Cup. The competition hosts the most talented footballers in the world with the likes of Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo (although we hate to admit it!) and Kaka all playing for their respective countries. But, which Arsenal players will be on show to the world and what teams will we be watching them playing in? What are the chances of any of those teams progressing to the knockout stages of the competition?

So from the list above we have a total of 12 players who will be going to the World Cup this summer – it will be interesting seeing how they do on the World Cup stage. Can Van Persie score the first goal for Holland or will Cesc Fabregas provide the first assist for David Villa for Spain? I will be glued to the tele to find out and I will be placing a few bets on them as well.

World Cup Football betting sites like Totesport will be offering loads of ways to place World Cup bets and that site is really easy to use. They offer post markets, weekly and daily coupons as well as the in-play options that allow fans to bet while a match is in progress. Not only that, but there is also a great section featuring statistics on the teams and players on the Totesport online betting website. So why not check out the stats on the Arsenal players and plan your World Cup betting tactics for the summer?
