8/11 Man Utd; 17/10 Arsenal; 7/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Man City; 125/1 Tottenham

Liverpool are now 9/1 with Paddy Power for what would have been the most unlikeliest Top Four finishes prior to King Kenny’s return when they were as big as 25/1 for a Champions League spot. Dirk Kuyt’s hat-trick was avaiable at 125/1 although only four punters had taken the price on the Dutch magpie, who is unlikely to ever score an easier hat-trick in his career.

by

Africa pushes for World Cup places Fifa the football world’s governing body is meeting to determine for the World Cup 2014 how many places each continent will receive. In the 2010 tournament Africa received six selection since South Africa were the hosts, but Africa most likely will be reduced to only five selections, due to their poor showing in the 2010 Cup and could be lower even more because of the amount of pressure being applied from areas that want more representation.

What also cause an impact at the meetings is the expected political fight between present Fifa President Sepp Blatter and likely challenger Mohamed Bin Hammam. Bin Hammam wants more presence from his Asian Confederation presently their representation is four plus a playoff berth.

The North and Central American and Caribbean region (Conccaf) want to add to their current three places plus a playoff berth and because Brazil is hosting there will probably be another spot given to South America.

Following two-day meetings in Zurich, Fifa will hold a news conference and announce their decisions on Thursday they will also announce that the 2015 Women’s World Cup hosts will be Canada. Also in limbo is who will host the U17 World Cup for 2013 and the women’s U17 for 2014.
