Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start England’s Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts England’s first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start England’s first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

“We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

Will John Be Terry-fic Or Terry-ble Against Sweden?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

John Terry sat out England’s victory against Spain and William Hill make are offering a market on what he will do first should he start versus Sweden. The 5/6 favourite is that England concede a goal while he is on the pitch while it is 12/1 he scores a goal and 40/1 he gets sent off. Having been very much the outsiders against Spain, England return to favouritism against Sweden at 4/6 with the visitors 7/2 and the draw 23/10.

“John Terry returns to the International fold after sitting out the Spain game and it will be interesting to see if he returns with a bang or a whimper,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello has received a fair amount of praise following his side’s battling victory and Hills now offer 8/1 that he remains as the England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships. Harry Redknapp is the 7/4 favourite to become England’s next manager with Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger 8/1.

What will John Terry do first vs Sweden: 5/6 Complete game; 5/2 complete the match; 9/2 be substituted; 7/1 yellow card; 12/1 score; 40/1 get sent off

Capello to remain as England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

England vs Sweden: 4/6 England; 7/2 Sweden; 23/10 draw

9/2 ROONEY EURO BAN TO BE INCREASED

William Hill have opened a book on whether the FA appeal against Wayne Rooney’s three match Euro ban will result in a increased ban, a decreased ban, or no change. ‘This may be a calculated gamble on behalf of the FA but it is not impossible it could backfire’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
