England v Germany 2010 World Cup Picks Round Two Odds: Free State Stadium, which was recently upgraded from 38,000 to 40,911 spectator capacity, will get to witness one of the best and frequent European matchups at 10:00 AM EST on June the 27th. The two teams have a combined 29 World Cup appearances and four World Cup titles. FIFA and World Cup predictions have the two at 14/1 to win the 2010 World Cup. In the game, Bodog.com has the English a slight favorite sitting at +155.

England: The team is surrounded by more question marks than the Riddler. This is the team that was dubed "the Golden Generation" by the British media, yet has fallen way short of that title. Where in the world is Wayne Rooney? Personally, I think he took the group stage lightly and will explode in the elimination round. But, how do you not produce, at all; in a group that was arguably weaker than what you have faced in the English Premier League? The team is talented all around, and deserves its 8th power ranking in the world according to World Cup predictions. The biggest question is why aren't they playing up to their hype? They have an Italian for a coach, their not playing as a team, and they're not WINNING. While many will worry, we advise not too! This is a veteran team that plays its best when it counts. Although they have a reputation for choking down the stretch, we believe they have enough in them to go far in the tournament.

Germany: The three time World Cup champions are searching for their fourth, let me spoil the movie; they won't get it. Yes, they won their group as we predicted; on the last day against Ghana without Miroslav Klose. A weak group that they should've taken easily came down to the results of the last day. The team showed a lot of promise in a 4-0 victory over Australia, but stumbled against Serbia. Team Captain Michael Ballack, defender Simon Rolfes and number one goalie Rene Adler were expected to be out for the 2010 World Cup. After the first round, the Germans have more injuries to worry about. Germany will be without striker Claudemir Barreto (Cacau), who played in all three of Germany's group games. There are also some injury doubts to Bastian Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng.

Head to Head Matchup: There is plenty of history between these two countries. This will be the fifth World Cup odds meeting between the two teams, all of which have gone past the 90'+ minute mark. The English won their first and only World Cup title against the Germans in 1966, since then; the Germans have had most of the success in this matchup. Advice: Quickly forget about how the English played in the group stage; they will play much better. Tip: In six games, the two teams combined to allow a total of two goals. This is the key: Due to this stat, many soccer odds makers and bodog.com have the under (2.5 goals) set at -200.
