England Defensive? 12/1 To Be Tournament’s Top Scorers

William Hill have almost £1 million liabilities on England winning the Euros and after Friday’s thrilling victory over Sweden, look like they will at least qualify for the quarter finals – meaning that by the time they kick off against Ukraine, that liability could well be into seven figures. England are 2/7 to qualify from Group D and 2/1 to win the group. The Three Lions are 10/1 to win the tournament.

After their one goal apiece against Sweden Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll are both 3/1 to be England’s leading scorers at the Euros, while with four goals already, England are 12/1 to be the tournament’s leading scorers. Wayne Rooney is 1/20 to return against the Ukraine and Hills make his 2/1 that he scores one goal, 10/1 two and 33/1 three or more.

“England threw off the defensive shackles that Roy Hodgson’s sides have shown in the past and the last 20 minutes showed that England can attack with the best and we think they could now prove a few people wrong (including Laurent Blanc) and be the tournament’s top scorers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite the victory, John Terry did not have his best game in an England shirt and he is 9/2 to fail to start against Ukraine while James Milner is 9/4 to be dropped to the bench.

England top goalscorer: 3/1 Danny Welbeck; 3/1 Andy Carroll; 11/2 Theo Walcott; 6/1 Wayne Rooney; 10/1 Joleon Lescott; 10/1 Ashley Young; 14/1 BAR

Match odds: 23/20 England; 5/2 Ukraine; 11/5 Draw

To start vs Ukraine: 5/6 Carroll; 5/6 Welbeck; 1/20 Rooney

How many will Rooney score vs Ukraine: 2/5 none; 2/1 exactly one; 10/1 exactly two; 33/1 three or more

John Terry to start vs Ukraine: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

James Milner to start vs Ukraine: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Roy’s Boys Are On Their ‘way…9/1 For Tournament

Ashley Young scored the only goal to secure a victory for Roy Hodgson in his first game in charge of England and William Hill make him 66/1 to be the leading scorer in this year’s Euros. The Man United midfielder is also 13/2 (from 8/1) to be England’s leading scorer in the tournament. England were very regimented under Hodgson and defended well after taking the lead and Hills make them 9/1 to win two or three of their group games by one goal to nil.

“Tonight represented England’s first win in Norway since 1966, could that be an omen?” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “A much more solid looking England team can be backed at 9/1 to win the tournament.”

The line up against Norway was very experimental and Hills offer Even money that three or fewer of the starting XI start against France.

After Andy Carroll lead the line well against Norway, he is 8/15 to start against France with Defoe 4/1 and Welbeck 13/8.

England are 2/5 to defeat Belgium next weekend with the draw 11/4 and Belgium 6/1.

Rooney 11/4 For Increased Euro Ban As Joint Favs To Succeed Worthington

11/4 ROONEY TO GET INCREASED EURO BAN

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that Wayne Rooney’s one match Euro 2012 finals’ suspension will be increased, and 1/ 4 that it will remain as it is. ‘Rooney’s hopes of keeping the ban at one match appear to be boosted by the referee’s comments that he accepted his sending off without protest, and it is in England’s best interests that that is the case’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
With the possibility of an increased ban Hills have lengthened their odds for Rooney to go straight back into the starting line up for the next game for which he is eligible from 2/ 5 to 1/ 2, and have shortened the odds that he will not, from 7/4 to 6/4. ‘The more games he misses the less likely he is to come straight back in, particularly if the side does well in his absence’ said Sharpe.

**WAYNE ROONEY has been lengthened from 7/2 favourite to 9/2 second favourite to be Englan’s top scorer at the Euro 2012 Finals after his sending off means he will miss at least one game. Hills now make Darren Bent 4/1 favourite and also offer 6 Carroll; 7 Gerrard; 8 Walcott; Young; 9 Welbeck; 10 Defoe. Others on request.
WAYNE ROONEY IS 10/1 favourite with William Hill to be the NEXT England player sent off. ‘Rooney’s suspect temperament is always likely to let him down at crucial moments’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wayne Rooney – 10/1

Downing Or Young – Who’ Ll Make More Impact ?

DOWNING OR YOUNG – WHO’LL MAKE MOST IMPACT AT NEW CLUB?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book asking whether Stewart Downing or Ashley Young will score the most Premier League goals and make the most Premier League starts next season for their new clubs. Hills make Young odds on to score more goals for Man U than Downing does for Liverpool, but Downing is odds-on to make more starts for Liverpool than Young will make for United. ‘These are two high profile players who will be under pressure to perform to an elevated level to justify their transfer fees’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS ARE BETTING ON WHICH OF THE TWO WILL LEAVE HIS NEW CLUB FIRST – AND MAKE DOWNING 8/11 TO GO BEFORE YOUNG, WHO IS EVEN MONEY TO DO VICE VERSA.
And with Liverpool steadily bringing more English players into their squad, Hills have opened a book on how many members of their first Premier League game starting line-up v Sunderland will be Englishmen – making 4-5 their 6/5 favourite.

Premier League goals match bet:

Stewart Downing 7/4
Tie 5/1
Ashley Young 4/6

Most Premier League starts:

Stewart Downing 10/11

Ashley Young 11/10
