ENGLAND WORLD CUP BID ODDS ON DRIFT
HAVING BEEN 6/4 FAVOURITES to win the right to host the 2018 World Cup with William Hill, England’s odds of doing so have been lengthened to 2/1 by Hills amidst reports that all is not progressing smoothly with the bid. ‘Support for the England bid is beginning to dry up, and we have seen no significant bets for them in recent days, while money is coming in for the Australian and Spain-Portugal bids’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

20/1 ENGLAND – BRAZIL IS WORLD CUP FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL!
WILLIAM HILL are offering 20/1 that England and Brazil, who play a weekend friendly, will meet again in the World Cup Final – and 3/1 that the two take each other on at any stage of the tournament. ‘England go into this match on good terms with themselves and as one of the countries qualifying in style for the final stages, so speculation about an England- Brazil Final may not be regarded as entirely unhinged!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
However, Hills still make Brazil 23/20 favourites to win the game, with England 2/1 and the draw 21/10. Brazil are Evens with Hills to go further than England in the World Cup, with Capello’s side 11/8 to do vice versa, and 4/1that both will be eliminated at the same stage. (3rd place play off to count if relevant).
IS BECKS NO-HOPER TO BEAT SHILTS?
DAVID BECKHAM’s absence from the squad for the Brazil game is a blow to his chances of ovrtaking Peter Shilton’s record number of caps, and William Hill have pushed him out from 3/1 to 5/1 as a consequence. ‘He now has virtually no chance of catching Shilton during the World Cup, and his best hope may be to get so close that the FA take pity on him and organise a series of friendlies to take him past Shilts. Failing that, if he does play well during the World Cup, Capello may keep him involved for the Euro qualification campaign – always assuming that the boss is still there after the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
