The World Cup in Brazil 2014 is going to be the world’s feature sporting event this year. No other sporting event that has been held this year even compares to the scale of the football World Cup. The fact that this tournament is set in the South American football heartland of Brazil makes this one even more intriguing. Brazil is the most successful nation in this tournament’s coveted history winning the competition five times. Their most recent tournament victory was 2002 when Ronaldo stole the stage to help his nation win their fifth title.

The football World Cup is always a sporting event that captures the hearts and minds of sporting fans around the world. The fact that it takes three years through a period of qualification games just to make the final 32 teams playing in the competition makes this an important event for every footballer participating. This isn’t just for the players though because to the fans, this tournament is just as special.

There are going to be numerous twists and turns at this tournament just like every one that has been held previously. Seeing as this year’s is being played in South America there is no doubt that the South American teams will feature heavily, especially Argentina and Brazil. Brazil will have a distinct home ground advantage with their adoring fans backing them but it doesn’t mean other teams don’t have a chance.

As usual the European teams will feature heavily again, in particular reigning champions Spain and runners up the Netherlands. Overall, the World Cup in Brazil 2014 is going to be entertaining viewing and no doubt it will serve up the kind of drama that previous tournaments have typically thrown up.

On Tuesday the 5th April FC Internazionale Milano will be marking the resumption of a title defence as they attempt to be the fist team to win a back-to-back UEFA campaign. This is the date that the quarter-finals commence and you won't be able to Bet Astonvilla, but there are still three British teams in with a chance to win. Tottenham would really like to grab it for a London Club, but they have beat Manchester United FC and Chelsea FC for the cup – say nothing of the five European teams also still in with a chance to win.

However you can bet Astonvilla FC (AVFC) at just about any time, they are a popular team in the UK Premiership League, with tons of fans who bet Astonvilla every time they play. If you have never bet Astonvilla before and in fact are new to sports betting sites, there is no time like the present to get started, and there is in fact an online betting site which is the official partner of AVFC. 188BET won't only allow you to Bet on Astonvilla they will also allow you to bet Everton, who in fact Astonvilla plays tomorrow – Saturday the 2nd April in the Premiership league. Next Sunday they play Newcastle United, and the Saturday after that on the 16th April, their opponent is West Ham United.

Asonvilla FC has quite a few famous fans, so you will be in good company with Nigel Kennedy, the violin genius who actually wrote a song for Villa. Tom Hanks, believe it or not, is another fabulous fan, and this adds some Hollywood glitz to the supporter list. Then, just to get the balance right, a touch of blue blood sees Prince William as being the local Royal supporter for the claret and blue.

As well as betting on a result of the match such as win, draw and lose, a bet Astonvilla may also combine wagers on several matches and teams; just to get better returns. These combination wagers are called an "accumulator". They basically mean that if one prediction is wrong then you lose the bet completely. But if all three are correct, you stand to win quite a packet. Accumulators are fun to play, but they are not for instant gratification, and in fact futures bets are popular for football, even for extended championship tournaments.

Whether or not you bet Astonvilla or any other one team, spread bet on winning margins; even if you just back the underdog for a lark and the chance to win big. Your experience of the matches being played is always enhanced by placing a wager. It tests your knowledge of the sport that you love, as well as your powers of prediction, and if you just happen to be right and win, you join many happy winners in this – one of the most popular sports betting activities on the entire planet.
