Our First Goalscorer market has also been a lucrative source of winners, with Jan Koller well-backed at 8/1 to score first for the Czechs. Even backers of Thomas Rosicky would have been celebrating in a fashion after getting their money back when the future Arsenal midfielder scored the last goal of the game - and I'm sure that won't be the last time that this popular Hatters Bet concession comes to the rescue of First Goalscorer backers.

Here at Hatters Bet, we're already waving the white flag and the tournament is only a week old, but you can still get some of the action. Simply register today and we'll give you a £100 Free World Cup bets to have on a market of your choice. To get the ball rolling, we'll match your first bet with a free bet (up to £25) on a market of your choice, with another £75 in free bets to come providing you continue to enjoy the excellent service here at Hatters Bet.

This weekend, you could be having your first free bet on a whole host of markets but, if you're after some pointers, we reckon that both Italy and Mexico can carry on the run of favourites by beating USA and Angola respectively. The double at Hatters Bet pays out at just over even money (£41.73 for a £20 stake), and should spice up our weekend viewing even more.

Of course, even better odds might be available via Hatters Bet's Live In-Play Console (up to 28 markets available after kick off). Here, it's all about using your football brain and making the right calls when they matter, although who'd have predicted a win for the Aussies at 25/1 when they went a goal down with just six minutes to play against Japan.

We could be paying out on another favourite this week, if Tiger shows up in the sort of form that has already won him 10 Major titles. He's Hatters Bet's 6/1 market leader but, with doubts about his form, we'll be lumping on Phil Mickelson at the Hatters Bet Enhanced Win Only price of 15/2. But don't worry if you don't get on before the start as we'll have Live In-Play betting throughout right up to the final putt on Sunday night.

Just another reason to add Hatters Bet to your 'favourites' for all your betting needs this weekend.
