The draw for the World Cup group divisions took place on Friday in Cape Town, South Africa and sportsbetting sites are already posting odds on the major soccer tournament that will kick off next year. Thirty two qualifying teams from around the world were divided into eight different groups of four, with teams playing each other in an elimination style competition until the final two meet up at the finals and take home the World Cup.

Oddmakers are now reassessing the situation to see how the draw influenced the betting options available to gamblers. Sites now believe that the outright winner of the World Cup will be Spain (odds of 4/1), while Brazil had odds of 5/1 posted. In the meantime, the hosting team coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira said that he was not afraid of facing France, Uruguay and Mexion in Group A. “This is the hand we have been dealt and what we will have to face,” he said. “We have to prepare ourselves in a positive way to make sure we go past the first round.”
