It’s patriotic to blindly bet on your home country to win soccer’s World Cup this summer in South Africa, and online sportsbooks of Bet365.com and PinnacleSports.com demonstrate the range of odds you can get on each nation.

Pinnacle also has a wide array of other types of World Cup bets such as many group bets and other prop bets.

Both books offer almost the same odds, so lets look at Pinnacle for some of the info on the teams.

Spain (+452) has the best odds to win the World Cup and with good reason, as they are FIFA’s top-ranked team and they won the 2008 European Championships. They have some of the best players in the world on the squad, especially Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

Brazil (+512) is always a solid choice and an interesting fact is that they have never lost a match on African soil. They are also used to hot and humid conditions that will be present in South Africa next summer. Even though Brazil is stacked they will be playing in the Group of Death.

England (+572) has been a disappointment in the last few World Cups, but with a squad this time around with world class players such as Wayne Rooney, Terry Cole, Steven Gerard, and Frank Lamped they have a good shot to go far.

Argentina (+1122) did not play well in World Cup qualifying, but they made it and that is all that counts. They are led by Lionel Messi and have a slew of other stars, but they are in a tough group with Greece and Nigeria.

Italy (+1416) is the defending champion and while they may not be as stacked as they were when they won the World Cup in 2006, they still have Gianluigi Buffon in goal and they drew into a pretty easy group with Slovakia, Paraguay, and New Zealand.

Germany (+1456) may be a good dark horse pick, as they have a solid squad with stars such as Michael Ballack and Bastian Schweinsteiger and they were drawn into one of the weaker groups with Ghana, Serbia, and Australia.

Another good pick with good odds is Holland (+1405), as even though they are in one of the tougher groups with Cameroon, Denmark, and Japan, the Dutch have one of the best offenses in the tournament and if they play some defense they can surprise some teams.

Here are the odds to win the World Cup at Pinnacle, but you can check out Bet365 as well to get good odds.
