Germany and Argentina will face off in a rematch of the 2006 quarterfinals. And there is still some bad blood between the teams. Four years ago in Germany, the match was tied 1-1 after 90 minutes and went into extra time and penalties.

Eight teams are left in the 2010 World Cup, and the South American nations have been dominating so far. While (usual) European powerhouses France and Italy made their exits in the group stage, four South American teams are still in the competition: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
Everything at the World Cup up to this point has just been just been a warmup – an appetizer for the great meal we are about to enjoy.

Arrivederci Italia! Bye-bye defending champions! Italy completed a disappointing World Cup run with a 3-2 loss to Slovakia. They used to have one of the best defenses in the world, but they looked shaky at best this year.
The US needed 91 minutes to score one that counted. They had another good goal disallowed, but never gave up. They showed heart and fought till the end to beat Algeria 1-0. The Yanks won a group at the World Cup for the first time.

The Netherlands got their second win, but still haven’t shown the offensive firepower they are known for. They barely beat Japan 1-0. Cameroon is the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup after its loss to Denmark.
The US almost turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win. Almost. Referee Koman Couilibaly disallowed Maurice Edu’s apparent game-winner for no obvious reason, and the US drew with Slovenia. The Yanks now have two points after two matches.
With one match in the books for groups A through D, here is a look at the updated odds to win and advance from the groups.

That means that now is a very good time to look at these props because the value hasn’t yet been bet out of them.
