Monday, June 26th World Cup Betting Highlights

Monday, June 26th was day three of the round of 16 matches. It was another day of bad referee calling! In the first match Italy narrowly beat Australia 1-0. With only eight seconds to spare in regulation time, substitute Francesco Totti planted a high and fast penalty goal. Italy made it to the quarter-finals for the fifth straight World Cup final. Their quarter-final match will be against Ukraine on Friday June 30th. The second match of the day was Switzerland taking on Ukraine. This was an exciting match with several missed opportunities. It was the first match in the tournament that ended in a penalty kick showdown. Ukraine ended up on top 3-0 with goals from Artem Milevskiy, Serhiy Rebrov and Oleg Gusev. Ukraine's goal keeper Oleksandr Shovkovskyi made several great saves in regulation and in the penalty shootout. He was named the Budweiser Man of the Match. Ukraine is heading to the quarter-finals for the first time. Take a look at the Italy vs. Ukraine betting odds and enjoy the match.
