Germany 8/1 To Win On Penalty Shoot Out Again

William Hill are offering odds of 8/1 about any player managing to hit the first hat trick of this World Cup - which is what someone other than Germany's Klose will probably need to do if the current leader and 1/5 favourite in the race to be top goalscorer of the tournament is to be caught.

William Hill make Thierry Henry 7/1 second favourite with Klose's team-mate Podolski 14/1 and Italy's Toni at 20/1.

William Hill make Germany 4/7 favourites to eliminate Italy, who are 5/4 to do vice versa. William Hill make Germany 5/4 to win in 90 minutes, Italy 11/5 and the draw 7/4. Klose is 11/2 to score the first goal of the game (90mins play) with William Hill who also offer 6/1 Toni; 15/2 Podolski; 8/1 Ballack; 9/1 Gilardino; Totti.

The penalty shoot-out specialists are 8/1 to go through in that manner with William Hill - who offer 2/5 that they will miss a penalty - for the first time since 1982 - during the shoot-out if it gets that far, and 7/4 that they will score with every one they take. Bets refunded if no shoot-out.

After one William Hill client staked a bet of £137,000 of Germany to win the World Cup, the bookies cut them to 6/4 favourites with France at 15/8; Italy 7/2 and Portugal 13/2.

William Hill offer 2/1 that there will be a red card at any time during the match and 4/11 that there will be none.
