South African Casino Players Look Forward to FIFA World Cup this Month

South Africa may not be playing in the FIFA World Cup in Russia this month, but South Africans from Johannesburg to Capetown will certainly be watching all the action. South Africa’s Springbok Casino asked players on who they’d like to win and who they think will win. Brazil and Germany are the favourites!

Springbok has just published an online 2018 Soccer World Cup scrapbook that shows the results of the survey and takes a look at the teams that will be competing in Russia. There’s also a section on some surprising four-legged soccer enthusiasts.

2018 Soccer World Cup group stage matches start June 14th. 32 teams will be battling for the title. Although Springbok players seem convinced that either Brazil or Germany will be victorious, they also like England, Spain and Australia.

The casino’s web page about the Brazilian team reminds us that Brazil is almost synonymous with the game. For Brazilians, soccer is more than a sport, it’s is a way of life, played on playing fields, streets and beaches all over the country. On Springbok’s 2018 Soccer World Cup pages, a video on the team shows why they are so loved at home and favoured around the world.

Springbok’s FIFA World Cup articles include information on two underdogs that South Africans will also be watching.  Nigeria’s team, nicknamed the Super Eagles, has been a top soccer contender since the 60s and could surprise everyone in Russia.  Costa Rican’s also love soccer and, while they aren’t really expected to win the World Cup, South African’s love them anyway.

Springbok is also sharing a collection of videos that show that even African animals love soccer.  In one video, two orphaned Cheetah cubs show legwork worthy of Benni McCarthy. In another, Lions enjoy a friendly match.

“You might think elephants are too big and heavy to run around with a football,” said Springbok’s manager, Daniel van Wyck. “But check out our video of sporty elephant calves living at an orphanage in Kenya. After lessons from Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, they’ve got some impressive moves!”

For the month of June, Springbok is giving free spins on its popular soccer slot game, Football Frenzy.
