Hope Powells GB women pulled off a magnificent 1-0 victory against Brazil ensuring a quarter final with Canada on Friday. USA are 5/4 favourites for gold but GB are only just behind them at 7/2 with William Hill having been as long as 20/1 at the start of the tournament. Brazil and Japan are 11/2.

GB have now won all three games and go into the last eight with a real chance of glory. Canada sneaked into the one of the best third place qualification spots and are 13/5 to cause an upset against the hosts. GB are 4/5 for the win. Brazil are 5/4 to beat world champions Japan who are 7/4 in what, on paper looks the tie of the round.

The record attendance for a GB womens football match was broken at Wembley last night and the longer these girls go on the more support they will receive. Hope Powell has them well drilled and they are now well in with a chance for a medal spot at least, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

The draw for the womens and mens Olympic football was made on Tuesday, with differing fortunes for both GB sides. With the GB women having a relatively tough draw, they are 11/4 to win their group with William Hill but 16/1 to win the competition behind USA (11/4), Brazil (3/1), Japan (3/1), France (11/2) and Sweden (10/1).

The GB men on the other hand have an easier passage to get through to the knock out stages and GB are 10/11 to win their group and 5/1 third favourites to win the tournament behind Brazil (15/8) and Spain (9/4).

The men head into the tournament as third favourites despite the fact that nobody knows who will be in their squad, while the loss of Kelly Smith looks to have hampered the womens chances, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

England Ladies’ Penalty Shoot Out Game Is Record Breaker

BBC TV BOOST MAKES ENGLAND WORLD CUP DEFEAT BIGGEST BETTING DAY YET FOR LADIES’ FOOTBALL

England’s penalty shoot-out World Cup quarter final defeat by France became William Hill’s first six-figure game in the history of ladies’ football.
‘The live showing of the match by BBC2 really boosted betting turnover and the game became our first six figure turnover match for ladies’ football, and together with the Germany-Japan game will almost certainly have produced an industry turnover on the day of over a million pounds – another first’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We are now anticipating a terrific betting interest in the Women’s Football tournament at the London Olympics where the game should come of age as a betting sport, with GB already qualifying as hosts.’

William Hill…..GB Women to win the Olympic football 7/1.
Hills – GB To win a penalty shootout at the Olympic tournament 8/1.

HILLS WERE BETTING ON WHETHER ENGLAND STRIKER KELLY SMITH WOULD SCORE DURING THE TOURNAMENT, AND ALTHOUGH PENALTY SHOOT-OUTS DO NOT NORMALLY COUNT IN SUCH MARKETS, THEY HAVE DECIDED TO PAY OUT ON THIS OCCASION. ‘Kelly had drifted to 11/10 to score during the tournament and as she showed such tremendous character in not only staying on the pitch when she was badly hampered by an injury, but also hammering home the first penalty of the shoot-out we are going to pay out on both sides of the bet.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
