It certainly looks a much more likely scenario than it did yesterday, with online bookmakersportsbet.com.au halving the Socceroos odds, in from $15 to $7.50 this morning to win their final match v Spain.
But with the Spaniards now out of the tournament they could still be a danger, firm favourites despite drifting from $1.20 to $1.40.
“All of the early money is for Spain, but the majority of those bets were placed before our sterling performance against the Netherlands. We are tipping a bit of patriotism will kick in which could see the Socceroos firm even further,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
