Slovenia v England 2010 World Cup Picks Group C Odds: At 10:00 AM EST on June 23rd, an underachieving British squad will take the field at Port Elizabeth Stadium for what could be their final match of the 2010 World Cup odds. Before the start of the 2010 World Cup, soccer predictions had the English as clear favorites to win their group and enjoyed 6/1 soccer odds of winning the entire thing. All sports books realize that this is a must win game for England and have set their lines around the world accordingly. Bodog.com has England backers locked into a tough line as the English are a risky -250 World Cup picks favorite and have been down graded to 12/1 soccer odds to win the 2010 World Cup.

Slovenia: “The tiny nation that could” is what we will refer to them as from now on. FIFA World Cup odds have the Slovenians ranked 23rd in the World, with a 200/1 chance of winning the 2010 World Cup. “The tiny nation that could” leads all teams in Group C with four points. Slovenia’s team motto is plastered all throughout their camp and states “never judge greatness by size.” It would be wise for England to heed that warning, as United States almost fell into that trap having gone down 2-0 at the half. A country of just 2 million people will be United and follow the match hoping for success.

England: The English haven’t shown the type of play soccer predictions claimed they would. Two draws in two games leaves the English on the edge of dropping out of the tournament. Matthew Upson will replace suspended Jamie Carragher on Defense and head coach Fabio Capello has hinted at other changes but has not been clear on who they will be. The only thing we are sure about is that a win against Slovenia would ensure England progress to the last round of 16 and a possible date with Germany. Defeat and they will be heading for the airport, while a draw will leave their fate hanging on the result of the United States v Algeria game being played simultaneously in Pretoria.

Head to Head Matchups: The teams have faced each other just once, last year in London for a friendly match. England won 2-1, but their performance was less than impressive.
