Team Gb: Can Becks And Pearce Lead 5/1 Men To Victory?

Stuart Pearce and Hope Powell have been confirmed as the coaches of the Team GB football sides for the 2012 Olympics and William Hill offer 5/6 that no non-English players line up in Stuart Pearces first match in charge. 4/1 is offered for one to take to the field while it is 5/1 for four or more to do so. David Beckham has already announced his desire to play in the Olympics and he is 4/7 to be called into the squad. He is 7/4 to start the first match and 7/2 to score at any point during the tournament.

William Hill offer 5/1 that Stuart Pearce leads the men to glory in London while Hope Powell is 8/1 to do the same for the women.

Having named their coaches, the hard work begins in earnest and the odds suggest that both sides will need to be at their very best to grab gold in London, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Beckham to captain the GB Olympic team in the opening match: 7/4

David Beckham helped the LA Galaxy to the MLS play-offs but William Hill think that he will leave when his contract runs out at the end of November.

Becks is a very patriotic guy and would surely jump at the chance to play for the GB team at the Olympics and because of this, he will have to pick his next club very carefully as he needs to be playing first team football, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

With reported interest from PSG, Hills make France the 4/1 second favourite while he is 5/1 to stay in the US.

David Beckham brushed aside questions about him becoming England manager in the future, but William Hill think that he may well dip his toes into the managerial pond at some point in the future. Beckham is 20/1 to take over from Fabio Capello although Hills go Even money that Beckhams first managerial foray takes place in the USA. Hills go 2/1 that he can be seen striding the touchline in England.

Beckham was an incredibly popular player and the chances are that he would prove a popular choice as England manager, although he may have to cut his teeth at a lower level before getting the big job, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

It would appear that management may be the way forward for Becks with Hills offering 11/2 that he ever starts another game for England and 9/4 that he makes an appearance at any point for the Three Lions, although 2/1 is available for him to start a match for Team GB at London 2012.

There are many reports suggesting that Frank Lampards England career may be over due to the emergence of Jack Wilshere but William Hill think that he still has a role to play, offering 7/4 that he starts more competitive England games this season than the Arsenal ace. Hills go 6/4 about Wilshere starting more and 7/4 that they start the exact same amount of games.

There are many people saying that Lampard may have lost his position to Wilshere but we think that there is still life in the old dog yet and he will give the young buck a good run for his money this season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sven Goran-Eriksson has stated his desire to take David Beckham to Leicester in January, although Hills think that an appearance for the Foxes is unlikely, offering 8/1 that he plays a league game in a Leicester shirt this season.

Lampard/Wilshere Match Bet (who will start most Competitive England games between now and Euro 2012): 7/4 Lampard; 7/4 Tie; 6/4 Wilshere
