World Cup soccer fever is hotter than ever! Sports fans are glued to their TV screens and Bodog Online Sportsbook is taking online gambling bets galore - mostly in favor of Team USA! Bodog's laying odds on a list of props wagers that mainly revolve around the American soccer team, who are deseparately trying to edge their way into one of the world's biggest sports. Partly because Americans love any game that involves a ball and a referee - but mostly because this is one sport that they don't dominate. Yet.
The FIFA 2006 Soccer World Cup in Germany is just a little bit bigger and more important than the 'World Series' of baseball that Americans lay claim to. Ironically, the 'world series' actually only includes American states and American athletes. The soccer World Cup is an entirely different affair. It's a truly international event with global teams and a global audience numbering in the hundreds of millions. Just about every country on earth will receive satellite transmissions of the games and broadcast it to their eager citizens in a wave of sports fanaticism and patriotism matched only by the Olympics.

Can the Americans silence critics and pull out a miracle win to keep alive their hopes of advancing to the second round of the world's biggest sports tournament? The odds say no as Bodog.com bookmakers have the Africans favored at +125.
