Iker Casillas Fernandez has a double captaincy role. He is captain of both Real Madrid and of the Spanish national team which this year he led to a monumental World Cup victory. He plays in goal, and many consider him to be the best goalkeeper in Europe if not in the world. When he was ten years old, Casillas was a member of the Real Madrid youth side which he joined in 1990. He gradually progressed through the ranks and six years later he joined the first team. His first match as a senior was in the 1998-99 season and the following year he became, at 19, the youngest goalkeeper to play in a Champions League final. He is now the most capped Real Madrid player.

England to Win 2010? England have qualified for the World Cup in South Africa 2010, and having been matched with the USA, Slovenia, and Algeria – the nation begin their games, against the former, on 12th June 2010 in Rustenburg, in the heart of the Savannah Bushveld. Despite a few exceptions, little is known of the USA squad, however, they did beat European Champions Spain recently, and have a few famous Premiership faces in their lineup. Tim Howard, the ex Manchester United and now Everton goalkeeper will almost certainly start in goal, with Watford defender Jay DeMerit providing a solid basis for the USA defence. However, England should forget about winning the trophy if they fail to beat a side such as the Americans. DeMarcus Beasley, who is currently playing for Rangers, will probably lineup on the left hand side of midfield, and could cause problems with his base and agility – however, he isn’t particularly proven on the world stage, despite a stint at PSV Eindhoven, and Glen Johnston should keep him relatively quiet. The teenage sensation Freddy Adu, currently plying his trade in Portugal, was tipped to be a footballing sensation. He was due for a trial period at Manchester United, and was eagerly scouted by Europe’s top managers – whether he will start against England is another matter, but if he does, he may well be dangerous. England’s defensive midfield, perhaps Gareth Barry if he starts, will be looking to keep tabs on the USA’s most prolific player, the Fulham playmaker, Clint Dempsey. Dempsey is proven at the highest level, and scores regularly in the Premier League – in the game against England, he’ll be looking to slip into the space behind the strikers and feed balls through. One man who’ll be looking to get on the end of those passes, is Landon Donovan, the USA’s most popular player, and David Beckham’s teammate at Los Angeles Galaxy. Donovan has played on loan at Everton this season and has shown just why he’s considered one of the finest players around. Whatever the outcome of this year's World Cup, there is sure to be lots of online betting predicting the winner of this prestigious competition. Indeed many betting companies, like Gamebookers, have created new World Cup sections to their sites.

Partybets.com is now offering all the latest soccer betting odds for the World Cup.Brazil currently hold the record for the most times any team has won the FIFA World Cup – they’ve lifted the trophy no less than five times. A truly sensational record, and one that coach Dunga will want to eclipse that even further come South Africa 2010. With many bookmakers, the South Americans are favourite to win the competition, and with a fascinating mix of the young, and the experienced in their side, it looks set to be a winning concoction. Anything other than a historic win in South Africa will be deemed an absolute failure by the fans, the critics, the media, and the team themselves, however, this despite only just qualifying for the competition in qualifying! Their devastating place and skill was clearly on show in the earlier games of the campaign, but with three games to play, the team’s supporters watched them amble to three successive goalless draws against Argentina, Bolivia, and Columbia – something very unlike Brazil, and a set of results that will have concerned Dunga. In terms of ‘star players’, Brazil have a myriad of players that could be deemed football superstars, but it will surely be Kaka – often regarded as the greatest player in the world – that will torment opposition defences throughout. Elsewhere, Luis Fabiano will bring his devastating finishing to the fray, as will Manchester City’s Robinho. The teams placing in the ‘Group of Death’, with Portugal, Ivory Coast, and Korea DRP has slightly affected their odds.
