WITH DAVID BECKHAM set to join the team handing over England’s hefty bid to stage the 2018 World Cup in Zurich on Friday, William Hill make England odds-on favourites to win the right to host the competition, at 10/11. ‘Having not staged the tournament since 1966 – which will be over half a century ago by 2018 – there is a strong feeling that it would be appropriate to return here sooner rather than later, and the betting reflects that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 4/1 Spain/Portugal joint bid; 9/2 Russia; 8/1 Australia; 8/1 Holland/Belgium joint bid; 33/1 USA; 66/1 Indonesia.

Watch Out Shilts, You Bet Beckham Is Catching Up

WATCH OUT SHILTS, YOU BET BECKHAM IS CATCHING UP……
DAVID BECKHAM is now a 7/2 chance with William Hill to overtake Peter Shilton’s record total of 125 England caps.
And the currently bearded Becks can collect two more caps in the two forthcoming qualifiers to add to his total of 114, and Hills offer 9/1 that he STARTS both games; 11/10 that he starts only one, and 4/5 that he starts neither.
‘Becks is edging towards the record slowly but surely but is no longer guaranteed to start matches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Beckham is 4/7 with Hills to make the World Cup squad, 5/4 not to.
Hills are quoting odds about how many minutes Beckham will play in the two games in total and offer:
How Many Mins Will Beckham Play Over The Two Games ?
None 9/1
1-45….9/4
46-90….2/1
91-135…..11/4
136-180…..5/1
0-90 Mins Only Injury Time Does Not Count
WILL BEARDED BECKHAM BE CLEAN SHAVEN FOR WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL offer odds of 11/4 that newly bearded David Beckham will be completely clean shaven when England’s first match in the World Cup finals kicks off, and 1/4 that he is sporting a beard,designer stubble, goatee, moustache or some other variety of facial hair. (Stakes refunded if Beckham not in squad). ‘It is difficult to imagine that Fabio Capello will want his players running out for World Cup games looking like extras from Pirates of the Caribbean’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP
WITH FIFA VICE PRESIDENT Jack Warner generously advising England on how to go about winning the right to host the 2018 World Cup, William Hill have installed them as 6/4 favourites to do so. ’52 years down the line it would seem not unreasonable that one of the few countries ever to have won the tournament should be given the right to host it again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,’But football politics make Machiavelli’s machinations look straightforward, so this race looks wide open’
William Hill: To host 2018 World Cup:
England 6/4
Australia 10/3
Russia 7/2
Spain/Portugal 4/1
Holland/Belgium 33/1
Japan 33/1
USA 33/1
Indonesia 50/1
