HODGSON ODDS ON TO BOSS OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM

Stuart Pearce 9/4

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.

IS BECKS NO-HOPES 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.
William Hill: To make England World Cup Squad
Yes No
Beckham……. 4/7 5/4
Owen…………. 9/4 1/3
Heskey………. 1/16 7/1
