It is a well-known question in soccer betting and one that was solved, at least temporarily, during Sunday’s World Cup betting final: does offense or defense win the day in soccer? Even the least talented squads in soccer betting can make a game of it against the most talented offensive sides by stacking 10 men in front of the box for 90 minutes and living and dying by the counterattack, so history in online betting would usually side with defense.
Two teams that have never won a World Cup title will encounter in the final on Sunday in World Cup betting as Holland competes with Spain in a game that can be viewed on ABC television. The Netherlands has been in the final twice in their history, losing in 1974 and in 1978 while this will be the first-ever appearance for Spain in the final. Spain is a -200 favorite at the offshore sportsbook with the total at 2.
