‘We are desperate for England to do well – but not quite well enough to win as that would cost us millions’ said Sharpe, ‘Our ideal scenario is for England to reach the Final but lose on a penalty shoot-out. That is a 90/1 chance. But even if England do win – well, we’ve had forty three years since 1966 to save up!’

‘England have received a dream draw and have been promoted to second favourites’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**ENGLAND MAY NOT BE FAVOURITES TO WIN THE 2010 WORLD CUP – BUT THEY ARE 7/4 FAVOURITES WITH WILLIAM HILL TO WIN THE RIGHT TO HOST THE 2018 WORLD CUP.(Hills also offer 9/4 Spain-Portugal; 3/1 Australia; 9/2 Russia; 20/1 Holland- Belgium; 25/1 Japan; 33/1 USA; 50/1 Indonesia.
