William Hill Sports offers odds Brazil, Germany, Argentina and the Dutch.
As the heat cranks up in Brazil, two teams are set to claim mid-week glory on 8th and 9th July when the semi-finals of the World Cup 2014 are due to be held in the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte and Sao Paulo respectively.
The $64,000 question is which four teams will succeed in the quest for the right to qualify for the World Cup Final four day’s later?
Most pundits had the likely semi-finalists to be Brazil, Germany, Spain and Argentina. The second scenario fell by the wayside after the Spaniards crashed to two consecutive defeats at the qualifying stage.
Many say the smart betting is still on Brazil to host Germany in in Belo Horizonte 8 July. Brazil has been explosive in the qualifying stages, with Neymar setting the tournament alight with his speed and finishing ability. Die Mannschaft stuttered against the Black Stars of Ghana in Group G, but still ooze quality and power.
Argentina has made short shrift of the opposition in Group F so far, justifying the bookies odds that have made them hot favourites to reach the last four.
After demolishing the Spanish, the Dutch have been cast in a new light by formerly unconvinced pundits. Two weeks before the match, William Hill makes the renowned Oranje, led by Wesley Sneijder and Robin Van Persie, the fourth favourite as most likely semi-finalists, after they barely slid by Mexico.
William Hill not only has great odds but it is also joining in the carnival atmosphere by offering £20 in free bets for a £10 stake by new players.
