South Korea have made it to the Quarter finals only scoring in one game but they can be dangerous. GB are growing in confidence and they beat a team of genuine quality against Uruguay. A semi final place should now be expected, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Gb 1/3 To Not Take Part In 2016 Olympics Football

August 14, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 2016 Games, 2016 Olympics, British Football, Five Games, Followers, Footy, Heartache, Joe Crilly, Olympics, Reunion, Spokesman, Team Gb, These Games, William Hill, Williamhill

More penalty heartache for followers of British football and William Hill are offering 1/3 that they do not take part in the 2016 Games (9/4 that they do).

There was a lot of discussion before these Games as to whether Team GB would take part and considering they have only played five games together, the project could be deemed a success, but despite that, it appears a 2016 reunion is pretty much out of the question, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool have reportedly had a bid for Swansea midfielder Joe Allen rejected as Brendan Rodgers goes back to his old club to pick up the midfield maestro. He may not have signed yet but William Hill have him at 2/1 to start 26 or more games for the Anfield club this season, 11/4 between 21 and 25, 11/4 between 16 and 20 and 11/4 between 11 and 15. It is 9/2 that he starts less than ten games.

Despite Brendan Rodgers appointment as the Reds manager they are still expected to come up short in the race for Champions League football. They are 4/7 to finish between fifth and tenth, 11/5 for between second and fourth and 10/1 to finish between 11th and 17th. It is 25/1 that Liverpool win the Premier League and 80/1 that they will be playing Championship football in 2013/14.

Allen is the kind of pace dictating midfielder that Rodgers likes in his teams and it is fully expected that Liverpool will go back to Swansea with another offer, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Gareth Bale has come in for criticism after he scored overnight to help Tottenham to a 1-1 draw at LA Galaxy despite being ruled out of the Olympics through injury. He is 1/10 to start Tottenhams first game of the Premier League season and 11/2 he doesnt.
