WILL JOE GO TO WORLD CUP WITH ENGLAND?
WITH Joe Cole’s inclusion in the England World Cup squad apparently no longer a ‘given’, William Hill are offering 5/6 that the Chelsea player will make it, and 5/6 that he will not. ‘There was a time when it would have been difficult to imagine that a fit Joe Cole could be left out of the England squad, but doubts are now setting in and we can’t decide whether he is more likely to go or stay.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
ENGLAND are 4/11 favourites with Hills to beat Egypt on Wednesday. The African champions are 7/1, with the draw an 11/4 chance.
WAYNE ROONEY is 11/4 with Hills to score with a header for England on Wednesday – he is 11/10 to fail to score; 11/8 to score one goal; 5/1 two; 12/1 three or more.
Hills offer 10/1 that there will be no goals scored during the game; 7/2 just one; 12/5 two; 14/5 three; 5/1 four; 9/1 five; 12/1 six or more.
Hills make England 11/8 to score in both halves; 21/20 to lead at both half and full time; 13/20 England to keep a clean sheet; 5/6 to win the game to nil.
***WITH 100 DAYS TO THE WORLD CUP KICK OFF, WILLIAM HILL ARE OFFERING 100/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL BEAT GERMANY IN THE WORLD CUP FINAL WITH WAYNE ROONEY SCORING THEIR LAST GOAL.
