Greece v Argentina 2010 World Cup Picks Group B Odds: The June 22nd matchup between the two teams will be held at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa. Close to 42,000 people will fill the stadium to see the reawakened Argentina offense against the tough Greek defense. Although Bodog.com has the Argentineans’ as a -175 World Cup picks favorite, we believe that this might be a trap game for Argentina following public.
Greece: In their final 2010 World Cup Group match, the Greeks will need to shut down an Argentinean strike force loaded with individual and team talent. Greece went down 2-0 against South Korea in their first match-play, but rebounded quickly to beat Nigeria 2-1. The Greeks still have a mathematical chance of qualifying for the next round with a win or draw and a South Korea loss or draw against Nigeria. If both games end in a draw, second place will be decided by the differential in goals. Most soccer predictions had this group at a coin flip after Argentina; who was favored to finish first in the group. World Cup odds gave Greece a 25% chance of advancing to the round of 16.
Argentina: The talk of their inconsistent play in the South American qualifiers is starting to fade as Diego Maradona has silenced most of his critics with two wins in his first two World Cup appearances as head coach of the Argentineans. Sources from the Argentinean side claim that 4-5 of the teams main players will be benched for the match; no excuses were given. According to soccer odds, Argentina technically only needs a draw to qualify for the elimination round. Honestly, realistically, mathematically, whatever “ly” you want to put in there; all Argentina has to do is show up and they will be handed a pass to the next round. Although some Argentina players have come out to say that they intend to keep attacking in their final match, we believe coaching will come into play and trump what the players think they will be doing. With Group B all but conquered and the real test still to come, Diego Maradona will start to think like a coach and not like a player. The fear of losing one or any of his starters to injury in a game that they don’t need to win should be enough for him to pull back the reigns, sit back, think of some clever things to say to his critics and start getting ready for the elimination round.
