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?
Hello people hope you all are having good days without any Arsenal news because it has been very boring for a few days on the Arsenal front, due to the international breaks no doubt. But before I go into that there is some positive news regarding Walcott:
The official website has said he is due to back after this weeks international break versus Croatia but in my opinion I doubt he will figure against Man City, seeming the importance of the game and risking him would not be worth it.
Why I hate interntional breaks
I really do get bored on the breaks for games for your country simply because it means Arsenal are not playing and aren’t in the news. It’s very boring to read about how England have beat Slovenia 2-1 and how a penalty that is totally insignificant in the scheme of things makes 3 days news for a bored journalist. I’d rather read about club stories and transfer gossip (even if 95% is total rubbish) because it gives you something to hope for and support.
Also watching England play and most other national sides with the exception of Spain and Brazil, is very boring simply because the style of football is simply not pleasing on the eye. Watching Arsenal is great because the ball is zipped around the field at great pace and we are always looking to attack. With England this is not the case and you find yourself nodding off throughout matches.
Don’t get me wrong when big tournaments like the world cup and Euro’s are on it’s good fun but watching England this week won’t give me the same feeling coming home as waiting to see Arsenal.
Anyone else share my view?
