The Italian soccer team is traditionally one of the slower starters among the powerhouse squads. If they are going to defend their World Cup win from four years ago, however, they will need to pick up the pace of their game starting today against New Zealand.

Online sports books such as Bodog must be convinced that Italy will come out ready to play, because they have installed the Italians as heavy favorites. Italy has odds of -400, while New Zealand offers a return of +1300. That is not a lot of respect for a team that is currently tied with Italy in the group standings.

Today will be a pivotal one for all four teams in Group F. The first round of games both ended in 1-1 draws, and the winners of today's matches will control their own destiny in the final matches of the group next week. Italy was heavily favored to advance out of this group.

Paraguay and Slovakia are the two other squads in the group, and they will be playing in the first match of the day. Paraguay, with odds of +110, are favored over Slovakia, who are looking at betting odds of +260. the World Cup betting odds total for this game is two.

The late game of the day will feature the tournament favorite, Brazil. The Ivory Coast will try to slow down a Brazil team that is poised to be among the last teams standing when the elimination round is complete. Brazil has odds of -140, and Ivory Coast will return a gambler four to one odds.

Looking forward to Monday, Spain will be attempting to recover from a stunning loss to Switzerland in their first match. Spain will be taking on Honduras, while Switzerland faces Chile. Portugal and North Korea will kick the day off from Green Point Stadium in South Africa.
