The World Cup 2010

Decided to give my views on who I think is favourite to win the World Cup 2010 which is less than 2 weeks away now, I think England are going to win and that is who I plan on putting a bet on.I am going through the teams giving each odds and what I think of them.

England - 5/1 I think they have a great all round team and with Rooney up front and a bit of luck on their side they look destine for semi final or further, this is 1 of the best chances they will ever get.
Spain - 6/1 Very good attacking, have skillful players but only thing that goes against them is winning Euro but still will get far.
Brazil 7/1 The name speaks for itself, the passing and skill of these players will prove too much for most teams, shouldn't have problems until later stages.
Argentina 8/1 Very great team with Messi up front they are going to hurt teams, if they calm down their aggression they will do very well.
Portugal 10/1 This side is underated, they are a dark horse who could win, they have some very good players.
Italy 11/1 This side have a great defence, probably the best but if their strikers don't finish they could struggle in the knockouts.
France 13/1 Good side who play well but I just can't see them reaching the final, they don't have as good a team as they previously did.
Holland 14/1 Great midfield and I like watching them play, will reach the quarters but then fail to command games once there.
Germany 15/1 Hardworking team who have the ability to cause problems, I just don't see it happening this world cup.
Ivory Coast 35/1 Very skillful side, will get through group but then struggle afterwards.
Serbia 37/1 This side has became good recently, if only they had an outstanding player they would do really well.
Cameroon 42/1 This team is a joy to watch but sometimes great football doesn't get you anywhere.
Chile 50/1 Good enough side to get through group but they don't rate highly on my books.
Paraguay 60/1 Decent side which could cause a few upsets, not against Brazil though.
USA 65/1 Work hard, play as a team but something is lacking.
Ghana 70/1 They play pretty good football but will struggle against the top 10.
South Africa 72/1 Obviously the hosting helps but really I'm surprised if they scrape out the groups.
Uruguay 80/1 They like to win but doing it and wanting are 2 different things.
Nigeria 85/1 Some of the football is great, they lack defenders and that will be a problem.
Mexico 95/1 They are not good enough and I see them drawing to many games.
Denmark 100/1 They had a really good side at 1 point but things seem to be going downhill for the Danes.
Greece 130/1 Work to the maximum but skill and ability are lacking, they need more quality.
Korea Republic 150/1 They have a few attackers who are good but this team got lucky to be in this.
Australia 180/1 Have good attackers, they don't seem to rise to occasions though.
Switzerland 200/1 Just your average side, I don't recommend putting a bet on this team.
Japan 260/1 This team done well against England in a friendly but well all know friendlies are different from life changing matches.
Slovakia 350/1 How any1 could put a bet on this team is just being silly, well done on getting there though.
Honduras 500/1 This team I have heard of like once in my life so that probably speaks for itself, bottom in group I am guessing.
Slovenia 600/1 This team don't have any real top players in it so they will be in a for a real test.
Algeria 700/1 I guess they got very lucky, I see them losing every game.
Korea DPR 800/1 Never heard of this team and we all know why.
New Zealand 1200/1 Why the hell are New Zealand in the World Cup, no offence guys.

So that is all the teams and my odds predictions.Let me know if you disagree or have anything else to speak about on this topic.
