Italy World Cup Odds
Betting On Italy at 2006 World Cup
Italy struggled to put away chances against an impressive Australia but went through via a last minute Totti penalty. They now face the Ukraine who struggled just as much with Switzerland, dispatching them 3-0 on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Ukraine have been struggling to score against organised defences so you would expect Italy to keep a clean sheet here.Italy Outright Winners Betting

It was 1982 the last time Italy won the World Cup. They still play that 'classic' defensive
style football which has resulted in them going out of the last few major Championships on penalties or golden goals and
I think this may be their undoing in 2006 also.
For Italy's footballing style needs a striker at the top of his game. Toni and Inzaghi are class, but I have my doubts and wouldn't bet long term on Italy.
TOP BETTING PICKS : I would recommend betting win-win on the 'half time/full time' market in Italy's favour
in every game. This is a bet that suits their footballing style (score early, then defend) and should pay off in the short term.
